Hey all,

Thats the car!! I have been looking for pics of that car since I saw it at Vegas. Is it a Hambers car?? Or does anyone have anymore pics of it, like a side shot?? How do I get that exact paint effect but blue, thats how I want to paint my Galaxie.. anyone??

[A32Flathead]

Don't think he is a member, but as I said, I think he runs a shop in San Jose.

As for the car, it looked to be flat paint, but not sure if it was flat clearcoat, or if he painted it with a flattener in the paint? Not too clued up on paint, but sure someone here wouls know. The roof is wild, silver flaked with the green fogging round the edges, looked great.

Will see if he is there next week & take some more pic's.

I would so cruise that. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif I have a couple more pix of it in the Fotki album...was tough to get the flake on the roof, tho.

No shit, I was just thinking about how many posts you guys have already. I have been here quite a bit longer and only have a whopping 20. You're like those women that talk just to hear yourself speak! Just kidding! Nice pics but some sideshots would show the cars a little better. That Pontiac is tits!

[slammed]

Posting local event's really help's give the rest something to aspire to. Great work. Thank's for the left coast view.

Bitching ride tho...

This IS the car.

[Shoeboxer]

Oh yeah! That thing's freakin gorgeous! Very drool-worthy. And yeah, I do have quite a few posts...but I'm also new on the scene with lots of questions and opinions and so forth, so don't be surprised if I say a lot. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Oh yeah, and if you look into the gallery I posted...there are more side shots.

So what's the deal with the shoebox in your first pic? There are no hood lines. Is the front end a full tilt away? Is it glass?

[Shoeboxer]

Yeah, it's a forward tilting front end. I didn't tap it, but I'm assuming it's glass.

:P

Taylor, look again...... Its steel.... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

If you look along the top, you will see where some of the Bondo is starting to crack along the hood lines.
