] I assuming that you're not meaning that the guy in the forgroud of this picture is Junior.
Not much happening this time of year. I get my car fix by either walking out in the garage or going to a couple car/bike themed restaurants. The...
My apologies as I can't really see it well on my phone. I'll have my wife her ask her dad how it was done. I do know that it wasn't a shitty job...
I doubt Junior painted over the original paint. He wasn't a spray over type of painter (which is why Jesse talked him into leaving Barris'). The...
The paint on it now is a repaint. The original paint was done by Junior Conway of Junior's House of Color. It was originally painted in Tangerine...
Junior and Sharon Conway asked to pass this note on. "On behalf of the House of Color family, we would like to offer our most sincere condolences...
Jesse's the one who told Hersh that he'd never get to paint a car the way he wanted to unless he went out on his own. Jesse was a huge help to...
He was a good friend of my father-in-law. I was fortunate to meet him. As many said, he was a character. He was an amazing woodworker. My...
If you want it done right it takes time. My F-I-L was billing $95 and hour because the cost to build at $120 and hour would be enormous. The...
Both painted by true artisans. Junior Conway & Larry Watson, respectively. The Hirohata Merc currently has a Junior's paint job on it. Of course...
Just came across this post. We were going though some files and found Hersh's script for Hollywood Knights. Pretty cool looking through it.
Thanks for posting this. It was nice to see. I know he was really happy to see his car recreated to such detail.
My bet is on Palo Alto or Dallas.
Very cool. My Pops would have just turned 4!
That's how my Pops got his first car. Paid Gramps $20 and built a car from the scraps. His first car was a '23 he built from parts in the yard....
Thanks for sharing your pictures! It’s been a while since we’ve gone. So many of the pioneers are now gone since my son, my father-in-law and I...
Love Chili's Deuce. It was painted by my father-in-law back in the day.
Mecum is just the auction house. They get their cut on both ends of the sale.
My grandfather was a part owner in a wrecking yard somewhere in L.A. area. AS a young kid, my father would go to the yard with my grandfather. He...
I know that my father-in-law was approached by a couple people to help buy the car and I know they were ready to fork over some heavy money! I'm...
Must have been a different shade or before Hersh repainted it. He told me he repainted John’s Vette a candy persimmon because the previous paint...
I have a few pictures from that weekend!
It’s probably the only one left that he painted candy persimmon. He painted Big John Mazmanian’s Corvette candy persimmon.
Awesome looking Jerry! Can easily be confused with the original, especially with that Calif plate on it!!!
Looks like Billie B's shop.
Back in the 60's my father-in-law (Junior - Jr's House of Color) used to paint a lot of the boats for the boat shows. He did a few for Leonard...
Not sure how I missed this thread!!! Here's the current project. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
Here's some of my crap. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
That's one of my favorite boats!!! A flattie next on the agenda after I finish the Sleek Craft and SWTD.
I'm with you. Lot's of different forums dealing with automotive subjects and every one of them get into an oil debate. You posted some really...
