[safariknut]

A happy holiday to all and hope everyone made it through safely.This is another variation on a design I've been working on for awhile.Nothing fancy;just 1-Shot white on smoke-gray Lexan.

[Hot Rod To Hell]

Yeah, Kritz striped my little girl's guitar for X-mas. I'll be posting pics of that tomorrow. Not to shabby for a GAY MICHIGAN BITCH! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[jdubbya]

I restored this old pump for my Dad sometime back, turned out pretty cool for some half assed body work, and some rattle cans. ( got a new digital camera the other day so I am using the hell out of it)

My latest two models. The A roadster was started and finished in one day, it felt good to finish one within a reasonable ammount of time (as opposed to months!). The Merc overall was done in a week. I left the putty around the pillars a little unfinished to look in-progress. I've since painted flames on the hood and fenders, a bit of practice for a replica of a HAMBers car thats in the works.

100MPH!!! welcome to the art show! i've never seen your stuff before but it's bloody good mate! that '32 looks killer...

keep postin'!

[whodaky]

Hi guys, great work as usual from you all. K&R I can relate to the model thing, I have quite a few long term projects! Anyhow here is a few 'who dakys'for this week! http://photo.starblvd.net/~whodaky/2-3-5.jpg [ http://photo.starblvd.net/~whodaky/2-4-1.jpg http://photo.starblvd.net/~whodaky/2-4-2.jpg

[purple]

<font color="purple"> Since the mention of long term model projects.....
I bought this in 90.... </font>

[purple]

<font color="purple"> I started it last month.... </font>

[Radshit]

Look at the price of that ....I think I'm about to faint......I remember those days.

[purple]

<font color="purple"> Shh.. I paid $5 for it, notice it is missing the top of the body panels. I need to make a new one or find one (yeah right). </font>

[Kojack]

Umm... got a little bit. Not too much this time around... it's been cold and I haven't shot photos much. But I really should... get some cool shots of some cars in the rain and all. BUt here we go...

[Kojack]

And one more....

[hamilton]

rock and roll friends, here's to another great year...a little paint on the leather for Outlaw...

[100mphwheelspinner]

everything looks great...

[BARNETT]

Hami ,that is GREAT! Dig the light blue for the chrome and the FlyRite lettering looks real nice, too! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[Boones]

HotRod to Hell.... how are they installed and stay in... Man no sex on a hard floor for her unless she likes the pain...

[Hot Rod To Hell]

It's 2 diagonal piercings; the 2 balls on either side are connected. I put in .062 Teflon, which is REALLY flexible, so they should be quite comfortable (She's a gymnastics instructor!?! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif). Then the balls are threaded and cut their own threads on the teflon. Ta-Daa! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[safariknut]

Lookin'GOOD!I see everyone's been busy this week.K&amp;R I really like the trunk detail on the Merc;almost makes you wanna get shrunk!100mph,great looking flames!I did a bike similarly this week and interweaving them can be a real chore.Kojack your photos are excellent as usual;I wish I could compose pics like that.Hami great job on a very difficult medium.Whodaky I really like #2 the best.One of the things I used to love to do was an asymmetrical design and make it appear balanced.Mirror-imaging can be a real challenge sometimes.And the colors work.
Figured I'd throw a couple more in;one new one and a few shots of an older project.The first is a variation on a proposed business card idea I ultimately rejected.The others are pics of the rear seat of my Safari.One thing I found out while doing the seat:NEVER use Simple Green to clean upholstery prior to painting!Something in the residue will keep the paint from ever drying.First time I tried the seat was wetfor 5 days before I finally washed it off and cleaned it with wax and grease remover and glass cleaner.
Hope you enjoy.

[safariknut]

MAN!I can't believe the stuff that's being posted!The bevels and interweaving on lucky7's tanks;the door that lostparts did for the little missus is fantastic!;buick59 photos.MAN! This is great!
I have a couple more and then I'm gonna sit back and enjoy the show:
The hockey helmet was quickie that was a horror show with all the surfaces.I had considered not posting it because I wasn't happy with the finished product but you gotta take the good with the bad so:

[whodaky]

Yes safari there is some incredible stuff being posted. I only stripe, can't do all the other stuff so many of you do. Yes I like the assymetrical stuff safari, the really neat stuff is that when you turn some of it around it is quite symmetrical, but it isn't obvious. A lot of my stuff can be real abstract and not what I call my real '50's hot rod style. But I do believe it is important to evolve one's work and explore the boundaries. That is why it is so exciting finding the H.A.M.B and the Friday art stuff which is a great forum for us all to display our work's Everyone's work is so inspirational. Whoops starting to get a bit carried away here with words. I can get a bit passionate about my striping at times. Will post more stuff next week.

[Toyghoul]

Great stuff everyone. Ray Post More! Your stuff is amazin! I need more practice, here's a hubcap I did yesterday, VERY hard to stripe on a curved Mirrored surface. Lots of reflections to fool the eye..http://www.geocities.com/toyghoul/1hubcap.JPG

[Toyghoul]

Nice drawing of the Fiat. I have worked with Jeff Burkholder in the past. He is the son of the Bros. Jeff owns a advertising firm in Sacramento, CA. His office has a lot of pictures of the various family drag cars.
