Customs **BadLuck 52 Part 2- Paint**

Steering wheel freshly painted and installed.. gives it a classy look.. big change from my mooneyes flaked 14'' steering wheel..

 

very very nice badluck !

 

Awesome.

Glad to see you're taking your time and not rushing things along.
I rushed my car and now have regretful flaws

Oh well, gives me an excuse to completely re-do it next year!

 

Nothing wrong with looking "classy" .... Nice work.

.

 

Will do, man!

Steering wheel looks sweet with that dash!!!

thanks buddy.. yours is coming along nicely as well.. was checking out the FB page you have for it.. awesome work!

thanks! funny how a steering wheel can completely change the look of the dash.. still have to wet sand and shoot another couple coats of clear on it..

 

Steering wheels looks great!!!

Hah, Can we do a black flake roof??

 

so cal is a big place, you just gotta make sure next to park next to each other at the Goodguys shows....

looking good homie.

kinda makes me wanna paint my fleetline.... nah...

 

hahaha i know huh!

ur right! thanks!

 

i decided to go with the bullet cap on my steering wheel.. i think it goes better with the rest of my car.. matches my hubcaps.. made a bracket so the bullet screws on the the original steering wheel cap.. then the whole thing snaps in tight..





my buddy made me this custom shifter knob using the same flake i used for the roof..

 

Sweet. Now hurry up and paint that thing already. We want to see it shiny.

 

thanks! buying paint next week.. took a few days off from work to prep..and if the planets and stars are all aligned properly and the weather cooperates..I'll be painting next weekend.. ..... hoopefully

 

Man it looking good, where did you get the bullet for the steering wheel from?

 

praying that the paint gods are with on that day. looking forward to the end result.

 

The steering wheel and shift knob look great. I gotta admit, the bullet looks perfect! Looking forward to seein' the rest of the car painted!

 

thanks.. ive had that bullet for along time.. i bought it at a local swapmeet.. you can find them online pretty easily though

thanks! im lookin forward to seeing it painted too not much progress has been done the last week.. squeezing in some last minute summer vacations before the kiddos go back to school! but ill be back on it shortly...with updates

 

DAAAAAAMN......just read entire post and thought I was going to see painted car at the end hahaha hate when that happenes. glad i found this thread car looks dope! why cant my neighbors be building sick as cars at their houses so i can watch and learn!

 

hahaha thanks! i always read this thread and hope my car is painted at the end too .. few more weeks.. last minute summer vacations have been keeping me busy lately!

 

This is how much body work brand new skirts need! I have another set that im going to use when im ready to extend them. I bought these so i have something while working on the others later on.



Were planning on Aug. 24th or 25th for paint. Going to use my buddies garage. We used it last week to paint his 54, and it worked out pretty well.. Heres a pic... We rigged up some vents above the car and worked pretty good. So might have a few sneek peeks in a few weeks.. Front seat goes out for upholstery next week...

Read the whole thread, man, you are doing some great work and that you've done basically everything yourself is wicked. Props to you dude. Also, thanks for sharing the grits you used during the sanding etc, I'm gonna be in the same boat as you soon, gonna start the bodywork and paint on my coupe in my driveway as well. My neighbors already hate me so that should be interesting. Keep up the great work, very inspiring to watch
