Projects So I was lettering the Daly's Machine '55 gasser & then this happened

God bless man... We had our little boy 7 1/2 months ago. He's our first and I'm 40. I know what you mean about gettin' older and father hood. I think a whole lot more about seat belts and roll bars now...

 

Congrats ,man makin babies and slingin paint,a true artiest.............

 

Congrats - you are blessed! 55 looks killer

 

well congrats there Dad.....I guess by birth the car goes to him....you know it was done when he was done!!

 

Rad!
Say, what do ya put over the goldleaf to protect it? Was the whole car clearcoated after the "graphics" were applied?

 

TOO COOL, Good for all of you Congrats.

 

I'd say you hit the trifecta 55 chev, hemi, and a son. Hope you bought a lotto ticket!

 

I spy the Bad-Man box on the table !! Got that model when I was about 11 years old. Nice little bundle too >>>>.

 

That car looks great! Very nice lettering job. I recognized the "BADMAN" style too!

 

SWEET! Congrats!!! Made my day. Proud man indeed. Is his nick name ONE-SHOT?

 

One hour old! Isn't the paint still wet?

 

Congrats Dan! Some day he will look back at this picture and smile and say, Damn, the old man was really cool!

 

Thanks a Ton Everybody. You Guys caught on to my Badman theme, always loved that model. Would have painted it yellow but I've already had a lemon & one's enough. The color is tidewater blue metallic,2009 Honda Fit. Yes, it's real gold, cut on a plotter & it looks like there's a clear coat on it. The pattern on the gold is called florentine (looks like a bunch of fingerprints). I have started & run in the solid cam on the 392. That electronic Hilborn is Amazing, the thing starts right up & idles, Very responsive too. Just got to get it done for GoodGuys in Des Moines. And Yeah, the kid gets the car, I'll make sure of that.

 

Congrats! Very cool, both the car and the kid!

FWIW, that Model in the black version with flames was the first kit dad and I built. Would have been 74 or5. I am 40 this fall, do the math. VERY cool ride.

 

Awesome. Can the daughters baby sit? Might come in handy.

 

Looks like a pretty proud dad to me. Congrats love the hemi too

 

That 55 ROCKS !!!! I love the lettering... congrats on the new baby....

 

Perfect job on both.

 

I built that kit many times and one reason I'm going with those old style ladder bars on my car. Very nice ride you got there.

 

Too cool Dan, you and Christy have a lot to be proud of. Looking foward to seeing both the car and new son in person. Gary

 

Congratulations, a new HAMBer is born!

 

Very cool on the BadMan reference!

Congrats on the son! With 4 daughters, I'd say you've definitely EARNED a son!
