Everybody's Doin' It - A 36 Short Story

Caps are 37 lincoln zephyrs on wide 5s with flippers added on . They look extremely bitchin in person. I am a little nervous that I should have used distressed leather on the interior. Guess we'll see how it all settles out, maybe it will work out

 

Don't know how i missed this, but i love it!

 

In a moment of weakness B1g Daddy decided to part with one of his prized jewels. I hauled it away in the dark of night to Indianapolis.

 

Getting used to her new home.

 

Tatorboy, The b&w picture speaks volumes in a Traditional Sense. How many 3-Windows were left parked in front of houses (like shown) at the beginning of WWII. Both the Car and the Home speak Heritage.......................... Jeff

I heard from ElPolacko that you did some touch up to the original black lacquer using spray can..... Just wondering if you could tell me a bit more about that. I have some touch up I need to do on a similar paint job.

 

Not spray can . I guess that could be done.

I prepped and sprayed spot repairs In black sherwin williams laquer. I guess the trick is to get a matched black tint in the paint. There are lots of black colored paint, lots and lots. Once you get the color matched, wet sand and feather in repair areas, prep and spray in the repairs. The laquer will "melt together" and then cure and wet sand and buff

Sounds like overkill Initially, but you may like the result better to wet sand prep the whole car and top coat your paint now so the paint will be a consistent color.

 

Bodi, I have a can of Black lacquer under the kitchen counter that I have been meaning to ask you if you wanted. It's only a quart, but it's yours if you want.

 

Opex Nitrocellulose lacquer. This is now used as furniture lacquer but has UV protection, and is ok for exterior use. If the auto store doesn't stock it go to the home paint store. That is where I got it in a factory packed black.. I repainted the fender skirts on the car and they match well, as do the repairs by Big Daddy. Hibernia Auto Restorations in Hibernia N.J. also sell Nitrocellulose, and claim to have original paint formulations back to the 20's. They have a web sight.

 

Glad I checked with you guys. Thanks for the information.

 

Didja ever figure out that "Kisam" is a girl, Oldfart? Yup, and a well-qualified hot rod girl as well, having brought back her own '32 3-window project from the very-damn-near dead. Do a search for Kathy Isam and her Deuce, "Tuffy". Another amazing H.A.M.B. story!

Kathy's one of my personal hero's...and she's a Texan to boot!

 

I don't know how I missed this....but I've just wet myself....that car is exceptional

 

I think that I just slobbered my key board into oblivian.
Good luck.Have fun.Be safe.
