what kind of inspiration would you like ? check out the webpage for my car club for some inspiration if you like . it is the link at the bottom of my post . not too many flatblack 60's cars there . but then again it is your car , you can do anything you like to it . you can fail to see how flat black and red rims ratted you out on the rockabilly kruzer , but I guess if the shoe fits . Like I said , it could be a nice car if you dont dress it up like all the rest of the lame-o flat black latecomers . are you going to have a mexican blanket interior also ?

as for being an asshole , I'm not being an asshole , you would be crying by now if I were being an asshole . I am just giving you my point of view .

Thanks Mike, I think. For the most part I think you are being honest, I think it is unfortunate that you say silly things like "you would be crying by now if blah blah blah" I mean really what is that? You don't know me at all, you can't possibly think that you could actually make me cry do you? I think someone on here told me to grow up at one point because they didn't like my style (I know I know I'm not "trad" and I'm on a "trad" board) I REALLY think some of you people could stand a dose of your own advice.

It would be really nice if one of you broke away from lame comments for just a sec. Really, I promise it's not THAT important to keep your hard core image in tact for your friends. The thing is, is that I COULD actually use some advice.

There that last line is fodder for your stupid sarcasm. Enjoy.

I'm not going to get involved in a silly chatroom argument . the red rims / flat black scheme is just played out . it was played out alot sooner for some than others . I am lucky I guess I had my last flat black car about 6 years ago when I decided there was alot more to it than a gallon of DP90 . Then again it is your car , and you have fun with it however you want . but seriously dont expect everyone in the world to jump up and applaud . I remember the first post that car showed up in , and I remember people giving you good advice . you can take it or not ultimately .

I think you should chop and channel it and take the fenders and hood off...

Kilroy

10-28-2003, 08:07 PM

OK that was fun...

Now, just lower it, prime the patches that need fixing, shave everything off the side but the trim...

Did I mention lowering it? Like as far as possible. You need to make it look longer.

...and once the body is how it needs to be, decide on the right color for it. I personally think that cars with sharp lines need light colors.

You need bigger rims and tires too, if they'll fit.

Maybe a slight forward rake with supreems?

Phil that looks plain sick! I REALLY want to see that in (yeah I know) black. I planned on lowering it really low but I have speed bumps where I live. Also I would probably bag it (a sin I know) but I dont have the money right now. As for shaving it, that will definatly happen. I still haven't decided on the side chrome, it's kinda ratty (dinged and wavy) so I might just ditch it.

It wasn't meant as a joke one bit. There's quite a few things you could do with that car instead of turning it into your cookie cutter rockabilly mobile is all everyone is trying to tell you. If you can't see the potential for individuality and want to be like everyone else thats cool too.

mike: You're right man about the fucking retard thing (although I do think that is a little crass) Thing is, is that you were not born a hot rodder right? To be honest with ya... what the hell is that if not primer? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif As for what you wrote in the post before that, I cant even tell if you are joking or not because I dont know what the hell you are talking about... my point is, I'm trying here I just don't know as much as you guys.

Dane: I'm not trying to piss you all off, Black is my favorite color. It always has been. I tend to associate cool cars with 'flat' instead of shiny. I really do think it looks nice. It's hard to come here and be shit on because the majority doesn't like what I have planned. Why am I here then? I think it must be because I'm stubborn. I am also looking for an education. I'm not gonna sit here and grill you guys on what this or that term is... that would just be embarressing. Instead I actually have followed some of the advice I have been given, like looking at books checking out TRJ and other things. I dont live in a place where you see cars like mine everyday, I rarely see primer cars at all. Around here everyone has fancy street rods that dont appeal to me much, this includes a lot of what I see at Famoso. I promise I wont bring my car to your neiborhood and make you look at it. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Phil: Yeah its unibody... Is there a good way to tie it together? Wonder if I can get sub frame connectors for it... Ill have to check that out. Thanks for thinkin of that.

Fonzi: no offense takin, I always thought it was kind of a chick lookin car, but that doesn't bother me. I think it will look fine when its 'done' and I agree slammed looks best.

Deyomatic

10-28-2003, 09:49 PM

So, let me get this straight, you are trying to paint it flat black with red wheels to be different? Just because the trend is starting to turn within the "traditional" style and everyone near you has street rods with high zoot finishes? Point is, everyone that sees the black primer with red wheels on an early 60s Comet, is going to think it is ugly and that you really wish you had an older car (20s-50s) but settled for this one because it was _____(cheap or nice or the only thing you could find).
That paint scheme belongs on a Hot Rod from the 20s-50s, either make this look like a "Hot Rod" Comet- some kind of Race Comet or something or make it look like a custom by lowering etc. If you like flat paint so much, they can flatten ANY color for you. I personally think you should keep that in white and put either black or some kind of light flat color as maybe scallops, or just fill in the lines on the body with the other color.

And black wheels would look so much better, right now, the wheels take too much attention away from the lines of the body.

You have gotten good advice from people on here. All you are doing now is trying to start some trouble.

Heres a fuckin idea. Quit screwing around, paint your car whatever color you choose and shut your gob.

Show everyone the results and be done with it. Jeez, your like a little kid with this shit. Nobody is gonna give you any respect until that car is finished and looks good. I know its annoying, but that is just the way it is.

Strigamort... That Granada donor is a damn good idea, if you need any help with the swap let me know - been there done that. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

As for the color scheme, it's your car - do wtf you want. The reason why it seems like that nobody on this board likes your ideas is because they're kinda unoriginal. Maybe in your neck of the woods primer and red wheels is cool, but in 95 percent of the USA it's been done to death. And it seems like you only see it on '60s cars driven by kids. I personally think a lot more could be done with the car as it has a lot of potential.

Black is fine. Ever think of John Deere Blitz black? It's a semi-gloss. Flat back will look like shit in about 7 days as all the dirt gets inbeded in it. It will fade out and discolor. It will look like shit real quick, it's just the truth.

Maybe some scallops would look different, or even some panel paint.

We're just trying to give you some ideas so your car will stand out. I HATE cookie cutter cars. I have a friend who does all his cars unoriginal and I think they're dumb. '34 Ford that's purple with flames, tweed interior, SBC, Flowmasters. Big friggin' whoop.

Anyway, I hope you get the idea. Do what ya like, we're just givin some critism.

Deyomatic

10-29-2003, 12:11 AM

NO, we're saying that you asked for everyone's opinion on what would look good, or rather decided you'd TELL us what looks good and when 98% of the people disagree with you and offer GOOD ideas as to what would make your car really bitchin, you fly off the handle and tell everyone that is trying to help you that they suck.

And as far as it not being the end result, you are saying that you are going to prep, clean, tape, fuck up someone's garage etc. and paint over what appears to be a good looking paint job with black primer, for just a temporary paint job. Only to have to do it all over again when you do want "the end result."

People are trying to help you, and you are slinging shit.

On second thought, Flat black and red steelies ARE cool. Get right after it.

10-29-2003, 04:05 AM

All name calling and disagreeing aside, I do agree that the red rims might be a bit too much, man. Someone made a good point that they take too much away from the car... and I think that's true. Your eyes focus too much on those wheels then the rest of the car. Black seems to look really nice for most 60's cars, something simple as suade black rims, perhaps a trim ring and chrome lugs. I'd get wider wides though... I saw a slammed early 60's black falcon on here with black steelies, SLAMMED, with I think 3 inch whites and it looked killer.

Why are you here? It doesn't look like you want learn or listen to other peoples ideas. Sound to me like you don't know how to paint, if not ask around do a teck course, what ever it takes. It's not that hard if you stay away from candies etc. You have a oddball car your trying use, why not run with that and make it into something that looks cool. The car has some great lines, make them work, use some ideas you have been shown here and change them a little, make them yours. Flat black and red wheels how fucking boring is that. How many full Watson style panel jobs have you seen cruising the streets in your area? Probably not too many. Any thing has got to be better than flat black and red.

Ok...here's what I'd do to it if I owned it....spot in the damaged paint areas and buff it up a bit. Make the original paint look as good as possible and drop the suspension. Paint the wheels black and clean,clean,clean everything, inside and out. The Granada parts car could definetely be beneficial for running gear/suspension parts too.
I usta have a brother-in-law who got his dad's hand-me-down 63 fairlane in white with a red interior. Had been the ol' man's fishin car and it was sad looking when the kid took it over. Ina month, he had the little fairlane standin tall with very little cash outlay. You could do the same with some elbow grease and spray paint/rubbing compound/wax and tons of soap..and leave the attitude at the door next time. We're trying to give you good ideas. Take what ya want and leave the rest.

10-29-2003, 10:19 AM

Well, I'd do this in photo-shop if I had it, but here goes. You like black, so maybe go with the DP-90 for some durability instead of primer. Then take another look at 62buford's input, and go find some examples of Watson style scallops. Look at the car's profile and body panels, and come up with a design for some red scallops that compliment the body lines and contours. (I like that roof scallop, buford)

The red scallops would keep the red wheels from drawing too much attention by themselves. This would be a fairly low buck approach that would show some individuality. I'm partial to un-polished torque thrusts with black or dark grey spokes, but some guys think they're overdone, too. The polished Astro five spokes would also work with the black/red scallops.

Anyhow, that's my $0.02 worth. No bull. Kinky6.

On the subject of Comets, let's not forget all those articles Jerry Weesner had done years ago in Custom Rodder.
There were real world articles on how to round hood corners, frenching tailights, etc. There was even a design contest where various artists had submitted drawings. That design article had a variety of approaches from mild to wild. Sorry, I don't have the specific issue dates on hand.

Here's one of the wilder ideas from that contest. Caution, some billet ahead.

Ken man sorry if I came off that way, I was just jokeing and I appreciate your offer for help!

This post seems to have turn a corner as far as I'm concerned... I LOVE bufords paint idea. That looks really cool and I am considering something like that (again thanks for sure!)

Just so you guys know, for some reason the white paint always looks half decent in the pics I take but it's not... its really ratty with surface rust and there aint no turning it back from the dead.

billy, what I meant to say is thanks for the offer for help (I'll probably take you up on that!) I was late for work and just typed something really fast, but I do appreciate it. John Deere blitz... yeah ya know come to think of it someone else suggested that a while back, but I had forgotten about it. Thanks for reminding me.

mike, your caustic responses are not helpful they have not been helpful at all, to be honest with you I dont really have any hard feelings toward you. It would be nice if you could just back off a bit, I'll get in your face just as much as you will mine but it doesnt HAVE to be that way.

burtrido, you are absolutley correct I dont know anything about painting... I never claimed to and have never had a problem admiting that I dont know much about these cars. I stated before that I come from the 5.0 Mustang hobby not older cars. Yeah I'm new to this but so what? You all were too at some point right?

Rocky, I'm with ya man. It's the post like your's and others who are honest and not just mean for the hell of it. Guys it probably sounds like it but I dont have an issue with most of you... some people on here are just... ah hell I'm just gonna let it go with that.

Mikes51 thats nutty as all hell, thanks for postin it.

Unless anyone has anything else to add I'm just gonna let this post die and lurk for a bit, sorry I ruffled feathers, thanks for your help!

Mort.......now, after suggesting you clean up the white paint and not do your car in black primer [or semi-gloss] I'm posting a photo of my own daily-driver. When ever I mentioned to friends I was gonna do it in John Deere Blitz black, everybody said I was crazy! My car had been panel painted and touched up to death. Every panel was a different color of charcoal metallic.looked like homemade shit. I just painted mine last Thursday and I really like the way it looks now. But it's gonna be a hot mo-fo next summer.
