  2. Bob,
    Cool picture! Recognized the background immediately. History Park in San Jose, right? Always thought it was a great venue for a car show.

    @Sancho got a new ride recently and it's being transformed as we do our art...So all the wild custom interiors and out of this world custom ideas are being exchanged and discussed in his thread so I came up with a funny based on vintage wild.

    I did convert Starbird's Custom to a model similar and :rolleyes: Max's Bubbletop Lounge is now Custom Central Headquarters and Sancho Smart is discussing his Cool Ideas for his dream ride...with his Assistant Customizer.

    Oh and by the way I'm sure there's a few who don't know who Max is and he did happen to have a pretty cool phone...ya just have to check it for gum before you put it to your ear...:D...The show I saw a fair bit of was Get Smart...Happy Friday All...Have a Great Weekend

    What a beautiful painting 57 Corvette ~ Bob. Just looking at it a nostalgic lazy Sunday afternoon feeling seems to engulf you.

    upload_2018-7-27_4-12-31.png 1955 Chevy cruiser
    Hello,

    A long time ago, I saw a blue 55 Chevy Bel Air with yellow flames on the hood, sides and on the roof, in So Cal. The flames were yellow with green highlight outlines and pinstriping. It reminded me of a University of Notre Dame graduate showing off his colors on his Chevy cruiser. I tried doing a version of the Bel Air with the blue color, but it did not look right on paper. The different blues in my drawing pencils did not go with the yellow and green pattern. So, I chose my favorite red with the yellow flames.
    upload_2018-7-27_4-29-58.png The blue color was similar to this 55 Chevy Bel Air 1/25 car model. (picture it with yellow flames with green highlights and pinstriping)

    But in real life, it would fit in with the early hot rods and cruisers at next week’s hot rod event coming up in Reno, NV. It is a mild custom/show quality , daily driver that would see plenty of miles, even on these long distance cruises.

    This 55 Chevy Bel Air would be perfect for the “Hot August Nights” coming up in Reno, NV. next Friday. This is the 31st edition and will run for the whole week of activities in downtown Reno and a few of the big name cities/towns nearby.

    But, before anything happens in the planning, get prepared for HOT WEATHER. AT LEAST 96+ FOR ALL OF THE DAYS OF THE EVENT. Make sure radiators are in good working order, fans + belts prepped and ready/with a spare or two, bottled water at the ready, and hot weather clothing.

    One thing in everyone’s favor, even with the hot temperatures will be the tall downtown buildings for shade and the 12-15 mph winds that are predicted for the event days. But, this is hot weather country and heat strokes are a common thing. One time you are standing and the next, you are down on the ground. Like the Boy Scouts always say: “Be Prepared.”

    We happened to be in Reno around this time many years ago (1999) to see the city getting prepped for the big event. It was too hot for us So Cal locals. So, we headed home via the deserted roads along Nevada and Eastern So Cal. It was a cool 72 at the coast. Whew!

    But, one day when/if it gets cooler, we may get back to this big time event in the far reaches of Nevada.

    Another historic Bay Area venue for a car show is the officers' housing area in the closed Mare Island Naval Shipyard.
