Technical Jake's tub

We'll never know if the Jimmy Shine '34 pickup would have sold for more money painted, did ok in bare steel.

 

You’re right, the cars nice too.

Some say Jake also screwed up his fenderless yellow 3 window by putting a pick up grille in it.

 

It was just another page in our hot rod history.

 

Check out the license plate!

 

I have enjoyed this thread so much!! Hope it don't end here.................

 

1957, Santa Clara High: Teddy DeMello showed me his recent '53 Merc install in his black '33 Tudor sedan...
I noticed Brush Marks in the black Nitro lacquer...he told me the old man he bought it from said "Fresh black paint job!"
My God...It was brush painted!!! I worked on the car daily, but Teddy wanted it nice and shiny. I asked, "What about the brush marks?" He said, "They'll go away..."
We waxed that black b*stard every 2 days, in front of famous drag pilot Eric Bracher's home farm, under the big weeping willow tree...with Vista wax! (important)
I swear, after a month (+) of waxing and cheesecloth rubbing, (whew!) guys would come up and ask who painted it. Brush marks gone, beautiful paint. Black, yet!
I never would have believed it...Maybe it was 2 months, thinking back.
My '27 tub might get the Brush.....Doubt I can get Petey E. to come up and help...

 

Anyone have a video of this hot rod tub???........

 

I make and market similar chopped folding windshield posts here on the HAMB

 

I raced him in his tub in Ventura Ca in my red 29 Ford roadster with a nail head, 2 cool red model "A" going off, beat him. Anybody have a picture of that race?
