Art & Inspiration Naked pictures...cars & trucks

Not your wife or girl friend but photo's on your cars & trucks while you were sandblasting or stripping paint.

Like my bi-line..I hate sandblasting but it's something that usually has to be done in the process of building our cars.

Incidentally,I used 3,300 lbs of sand stripping every piece of metal on this wagon. HRP

 

Way back when @Salt Flats Speed Shop

 

53 gmc, last winters project.

 

A few more...

 

3,300 pounds of sand! I did a 65 Mustang on a rotisserie several years back, i'd be surprised if I used 300. I didn't do the inside of the car, and of course there is no frame, but that sounds like a lot of sand. I spent more time sweeping and straining the sand that actual blasting.

 

Yeah,I used 33 - 100lb bags of sand,I did have to sand blast the floors,all the garnish moldings,dash,body,fenders,lift gate and rear tail gate,doors,hood,all the suspension piece,frame,rear axle and the rims.

I have a small beach behind my shop. HRP

 

I did the T roadster with a couple 5 gallon buckets of sand I got from the local blaster. I just would collect it and reuse it. I'll never do the job again. I took years off my life. It's worth paying for.

 

Got to start somewhere

 

This is the best I got, and the best build I did.
Can't say what it is, because it's non American, it's almost era perfect to to late sixtys now, at least what a hot *ol*o would look like back then. They where the Scandinavia tri-five!

Mighty proud of it, over here it's to rodded, and for you it's boring.

 

we just go the the river bank and get sand,,,strain it,,and use it over and over...nice sandy banks to get all we need.
but first we spread it to dry

 

I like it! HRP

 

Here is a picture of my special coupe before I started installing the wood kit and another one after I had put most of the wood back into it. The wood is naked. HAHA

 

I would like to post photos of my 34 truck after I got it sand blasted but it was so rusty that there was nothing left but a door, one fender and the roof.....

 

These are the closet i have to being naked. Kinda like from the waist up. I take for ganted you didn't re-use your sand?

 

Where's the centerfold?

Nice work!

 

Hope to have this blasted and in primer by Labor Day, it's the shell I'll build my '29 Steelback around. Bob

 

that's funny, I bet that's damn close to what the car weighed...

 

George,the 1954 Ranch Wagon (which originally was equipped with a inline 6) weighed slightly more.. estimated curb weight: 1660 kg / 3660 lbs. HRP

 

Not one naked lady!

 

My 33 before and after straightening and then the cuts

 

The '34 that went to Germany. Might be building one of those again real soon......



-Abone.

 

Here you go - I had a little trouble with the sandblasting:

Maybe a little less air pressure next time?

 

I think you need a finer grit

 

my 32 after blasting .

 

Here is mine

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^ SO GLAD to see what orangeamcs is doing with my old '27 T Touring body! Sold it back in 1972 after it was blasted the first time. It was the very first car I ever owned. Bob

 

My 32 after i blasted it, and once i finished the chop.
