Default '34 Progress. Shiny black paint. (finally)
Big news from the Flamedabone state of the art color application studio in beautifull Goose Creek South Carolina...The '34 is shiny black finally. She is going to take some color sanding and buffing, but the big hurdle is done.



This will be the LAST shiny black car I ever do, I SWEAR. The next one will be Krylon..



Next update, she will be buffed and stuck on the frame.

See ya, -Abone.

Cool beans. When I see a deep, straight, buffed black paint job I almost always get stopped in my tracks, and just shake my head in amazement. I've yet to get that effect from a neglected, dull, faded black finish. Well done, Gary

I'm no stranger when it comes to resurrecting some rusty POS and ending up with a decent car, but....You are the MASTER of the craft.

All I manage to do is polish turds.... You make diamonds from coal.

The speed that you work at and the resulting quality of the finished product is a never ending source of amazement to me..

Any thought about keeping this one???
