New to the Hamb

[lilblondi]

Hello everyone! My husband has been posting here since we got our 49 Ford, which I absolutely love! Especially the paintjob on it. = ) http://www.ruttencutter.com/49ford/way_home_first_show/way_home_first_show-Images/2.jpg He actually got me really interested in painting and pinstriping and has been asking a lot of questions for me. Someone suggested that I sign up, so here I am. = ) I'm new to the whole messageboard thing and not really sure what else to say though. Anyway, Bugman was nice enough to let us visit last night and I got to paint an old hood that my husband got for me. It was a lot of fun and ended up a really cool metalic purple color. I think I need some more practice though because the part that I did ended up looking like a purple zebra. = ) I was also wondering if there were any other girls on the board, ,and what kinds of things you do.

Well, I think that's it. If there's anything else you want to know, just ask!

Thanks!

Welcome, there are a few girls here. I wish there were more, but like Kris said, the last one was looking for a date to go with her crotch rocket. Welcome. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[PrimeEvil]

Like the shoebox,got any more pics of it? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Oh btw,Welcome aboard!!!

[ruttencutter]

Yeah, Lizz is my wife. Poor girl. All she wants is the damn car to run. I promised her it would--if she only knew what fun was down the road! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

More pictures of our car are at http://www.ruttencutter.com/49ford/

Right now we're in the process of building a 302 to put in, since the flathead has taken a dive.

-Scott

[RoadDevil13]

No worries man youll get it there...alot of us HAMB'rs will help ya however we can, and once again...Welcome to both of ya.

Welcome Lizz! Awesome to have another artisitic hot rod enthusiast type chick on the board. Hope to see your work in the Friday Gallery some time.

I'm another of the 'girls' on the board. Safely and happily married. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif I'm still on the search for the car I want. I'm not in a big hurry since I'm helping my husband rebuild his car (not one to mention on this board, so I won't). I've been working with metal for a couple years... casting, sculpture, blacksmithing, metalshaping, etc. I'm also interested in pinstriping, so your husband's post in your interest came at just the right time.

Again, welcome!!!

[lilblondi]

Well, I was going to say everything that Scott just said, however I couldn't figure out hos to make a reply. It seems that somehow I had to log back in. Go figure. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif Anyway, he posted some more pictures of our car. I haven't done any pinstriping yet, just painting. The hood ended up turning out pretty good, but only because Bugman put the last coat on it for me to fix my zebra stripes. = ) I'll get better with more practice though, I'm sure. Anyway, I still need to get together a shopping list before I can get started pinstriping. Maybe we'll go tonight. We'll see. Any ideas of where to get all the materials needed to get started?

[RagDoll]

Welcome to the HAMB. I look forward to seeing your work as you progress! I'd love to paint and stripe, but paint is not my friend. I can't even use nailpolish!

Yeah to what CherryBlossom said. I am dissapointed in the last girl who signed on. As a newbie myself I was quite embarrased for her. IMO, don't even bother opening up posts by her.

Glad you signed on! Any pics of the hood you just tackled? =)

[lilblondi]

No pictures of it yet. I can figure out how to take the picture, and even get it onto my computer, but not sure if I could figure out how to get it on here. Maybe I'll e-mail it to my husband and if he gets really bored at work this afternoon (and feeling extra nice) he'll put one up for me. It's nothing spectacular, but I do really like the color. = )

Welcome to the HAMB!

Hey...it's Thursday...why haven't the Aussies fired up the "Friday" Art Show yet?! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[CherryBlossom]

Hey!
I took it upon myself to look at the whole www.ruttencutter.com (http://www.ruttencutter.com) website.... LOVE the pics your husband took on there. He has a great eye http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif Did you make the quilts on there? I also sew myself...and scrapbook...like mad...LOL

[RagDoll]

If you can get a pic onto a computer it's easy to get them posted. Sign up for a free account at www.photobucket.com (http://www.photobucket.com) they make it easy! They list the "code" you need under each pic. the one you want to insert is the one between and .

[lilblondi]

Thanks. I think his photography is pretty amazing as well. = ) Most of the quilts on there he and I worked on together...him doing most of the work. I'm not sure if the website says it or not, but a lot of them are hand dyed too. We have gotten more into it since college though and since we haven't really had anywhere to hand dye the fabric, we have been making them out of old denim. I have also started scrapbooking as well. Now I'm going to take on painting and pinstriping. Think I have enough hobbies yet? = ) Thanks for sharing some of your other interestes as well!

Welcome and if you get a chance to come to MI for the autorama in grand rapids in january or detroit in march we've got a pinstripers show goin on at both. This is the 2nd year for detroit and first for grand rapids. Last year was a blast in detroit http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[RagDoll]

I envy you your abilty to use any liquid color! BE careful with scrapbooking, it will snowball quickly!(Ask Mac..he wants to know why I need more scrapbook supplies and cars/parts.) I have begun scrapbooking car shows now, and plan on doing an album for all the pictures of the panel buildup. I agree...you need more hobbies. I can get you started on on making flower hairclips and amassing veicles and car parts (for just in case, or just becuase it was cool.)

[lilblondi]

That would be pretty cool! Thanks for letting me know about it. = )

That sounds really cool. Maybe it's a good thing our car isn't running too well now though. I still have pictures from college and from our wedding that I need to get going on. Not to mention all of the pictures I have of our new puppy! I'll probably eventually start a car one too though. = )

OH!
I just realized where you live...
you have a GREAT scrapbook store in Madison....I dont recall the name of it...its in a strip mall...not far off a highway....real descriptive I know....my mom and I stopped there on our way thru to South Dakota....we also went to a really nice quilt store, next to Brueggars Bagel shoppe...know where Im talking about????

[Tony Bones]

Welcome. Pick up that striping brush and get to work.

[lilblondi]

Ok. Here is a picture of the hood I painted.

http://www.ruttencutter.com/49ford/lizzhood.jpg

~Lizz

[RagDoll]

Loving the color! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif Looks like an excellent canvas for your pinstriping practice!

[lilblondi]

I might know the scrapbook store you're talking about. Is it called Madtown Scrappers? That one is on the east side. I think there might be one on the west side too but I'm not sure. I went into the Madtown Scrappers one though and they have just about EVERYTHING. When I say just about, it's because I couldn't find very much car stuff. We were looking for either old cars, or race cars and didn't have much luck with either. If you know of anywhere online to get car stuff for scrapbooking, let me know.

Also, someone posted something about how I needed to get striping soon. I am planning on it! Like I said earlier, I need to make a shopping list. If anyone has any suggestions on supplies to buy to start out, or where to buy them, please let me know! I have plenty ideas of what to paint on, just not what to paint with.

Thanks
~Lizz

[Action Girl]

Hellllloooooo Lizz!

I'm one of the other exceptionally cool hot rod gals on here! (LOL!) I'm also married and mom to a 7-year-old.

I do a little pinstriping too although I'll admit that I've been neglecting it for my other artwork which is my primary source of car parts money! I sometimes scrapbook also, but since my hobbies are WAAAY out of control and my car is in need of some work at the moment, all that stuff is on hold until Faye (my car) is rolling down the road again.

In any event, welcome to the HAMB. People here are very helpful and this is a great little community. There are some super-smart do it yourself girls on here that aren't afraid to pick up a wrench and jump in, so you should feel right at home.

I don't think thats the store Im talking about...

There isnt ALOT of car stuff out there...there is some. I think HotRodLadyCrusr and I have pretty much everything ever made scrapbookwise that is car related....Theres a few lines of stickers....and about 10 different papers that have flames or old car/trucks on them. There's some racing stuff out there too...just keep looking. Ebay tends to actually have some stuff too - I've bought 50s themed papers off of there....

I can always pick up stuff at my store ( i can send you pics of what it looks like first), you can pay me for it, and I'll mail it to you. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[MikeO]

There is more info on the autorama shows on www.autoartmagazine.com (http://www.autoartmagazine.com) then go to the discusion board plus there is also alot of other info on painting there

[lilblondi]

Thanks. = ) Do you have any pictures of any of the work you've done? What kinds of materials did you start with? How did they work for you? Sorry I'm so full of questions, it's just something that I"m very interested in, but don't kknow a whole lot about. Any information you would be willing to share would greatly help. = )

What kind of other art do you do? Just cruious.

~Lizz

[RoadDevil13]

Looks damn good....did you just spray over what was there???
thats really the only flaws I can see....

seems to me youll be a good painter in no time....just wait until you play with some metal flake and candy's.....those are fun.

My fiance is striping, so go and hone your skills man!! its a great thing!! I can paint but cant stripe for shit...haha, good thing I have her huh?

http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[lilblondi]

Thanks mikeo. I will check it out. Also thanks to Kris. I didn't even think to look for 50's themed stuff. I bet I will have better luck looking there than under cars. = ) Everyone on here sure is super nice!

[lilblondi]

Yeah, we pretty much just sprayed over what was there. It was my first time ever painting with air tools. I've only even ever spray painted once in my life. My husband and I tried to sand down the big cracks and you can tell exactly where we sanded too. That is mostly because we didn't have any primer. Since we weren't too worried about the finished product and just wanted to get a feel for the paint gun we didn't worry about it too much. It's just a practice hood and I'm sure either we or I will paint it a number of more times. Thanks for the encouragement! I think I'll wait a while till I try the metal flake and candy paints though. = ) I had a hard enough time getting the lacquer on evenly. It looks good in the picture because Bugman did the last coat for me so I would have something even to practice striping on once I get my materials. I had a whole lot of fun doing it though and plan on practicing some more really soon!

~Lizz

[lilblondi]

Hahaha. Yeah, but I heard that the last girl was also on here just to find a date. = )

Hello &amp; welcome to the HAMB from a fellow Ford lover! I have a 59 Tbird (in it's fifth year of progress) which hopefully will be on the road before I am too old and senile to drive it. Good luck on your painting~

Does the HAMB have a Kitchen?

[fab32]

Welcome to the HAMB. this is a great place to find help on just about any subject related to cars, just try to keep it on a Traditional level and you'll do fine. Something about electronic fuel injection and Hondas really sets these guys off. The usual routine is just ask and the answers will appear on your computer screen like magic.
Oh Yea! Denise and Kris are the best, they just don't come any nicer than those two.

Where'd you get your '49 from? I swear a guy came to look at my '56 caddy that had pics of your car or one very very close down to the caddy hubcaps.

[whodaky]

Welcome Lilblondi, you know what this place is like and I do believe the replies to your post show exactly what it is like.
As Cherryblossom said the Friday art posts are the place to go for inspiration. Really don't put myself in the category of a great pinstriper, more the mad old novice pinstriper.
Love your Spinner ( that's what us Assies call 50/52 Fords.
When I saw you quilt, I knew Cherryblossom and you would have heaps to discuss. My best friend's wife is a quilter and does some amazing stuff.
Hey you girls need to shoot some shots of your scrapbooking and post on Fiday art ( even if Hankcash and his 2 buddies can't handle it http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif). Can never get enough diversity there. Geoff aka Whodaky

I love you for saying that geoff. But, I doubt it will go over well.... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[lilblondi]

Revhead asked where our 49 came from. It was actually a Texas car, but we got it in North Dakota. I believe it was in Texas a few years ago, but not sure for how long. That would be crazy if it was the same car. Small world!

People from Wisconsin are full of cheese.

Thank You,

[lilblondi]

I don't think anybody would really like any of the stuff I've scrapbooked so far. Actually, all I've actually DONE so far is one page for our wedding. I don't even think it has any pictures on it yet. heh. Maybe once I get going on that I'll post something. I finally have everything figured out as to what I'm going to do, but now that school has started and I've actually been getting called to sub = ) I just need to find time. Thanks for the suggestion! I will definately take a look at the art show tomorrow. = )

~Lizz

[whodaky]

I hear what your saying Cherryblossom. But it is always good to be exposed to other art forms. For those lateral thinkers amongst us, everythnig little thing helps. Always good to find new areas to steal ideas from http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Geoff aka Whodaky

[Nads]

Good one Rob.

When I squeeze my hog up into my butt cavity and I'm wearing my wife's "Rebel" bikini I can pass for a girl, a pretty good looking girl too.

Sometimes I even pretend that I have a clitoris by gluing a tiny bit of a Swizzle stick onto my pubis.

I'm a 32DD, so the tits part is well taken care of.

I like being a girl, even if it's only for 3 minutes a day at the bus station.

Oh yeah, welcome Lizz.

[slammed]

You have some RED High Top Converse Tennis shoe's to go with that Rebel 2 piece bikini?
