    Which one of you "Chips" is from My Three Sons?

    Seems like I will have to make at least black and white. I think this time I will pre-sell so I don't short anyone on size or color.

    need louvers ?

    Yup! That'd be me.

    I could definitely second Alex's idea about the primer red and orange/white/black logo shirts!!! Almost like an Arizona "dirt shirt". Imagine the stain hiding qualities built in right there!!!

    Chip-
    I've eaten with Alex. It would have to be a paisley print for his shirt:D

  4. I can neither confirm or nor deny the above noted statement on the grounds that it's probably 100% factual. :p

    Oh, and I'm serious about the brown shirt idea. I used to be a white or black t-shirt guy, but when the Rodder's Journal started producing their shirts in navy blue, maroon, and olive green, I bought a few and like 'em a lot. Change is good......

    You might consider printing the logo on a few upside down so the wearers will have a chance to admire the artwork.

    BTW, thanks for the white t-shirt a few weeks ago. Am wearing it today in the 104 degree heat. I really get tired of wearing swimming t-shirts sometimes.

    For the old guys- coffee color would be the best color. ;)

    After all these comments, I'm tempted to make bibs as well as shirts. If this project takes much longer, maybe even a drool towel.;)

    3wLarry,
    Today is supposed to be the last day of 100 degree weather. I am hoping to paint again tomorrow. What do you want pictures of a sanded frame????

    I know I don't post very often, put that down to being an old fart that isn't happy with computer stuff, but the work you have accomplished so far is to me amazing. I'm trying to finish a re-build of my 52 chevy pickup and can understand the angst of trying to work in this miserable heat. I have lived in SoCal my entire life and can't remember a worse summer weatherwise. I was at the LA Roadster show but missed meeting youand Pete due to a hip that has decided I shouldn't walk around a whole bunch. I did receive two of your first t-shirts and will gladly pony up whatever it takes to get two more 2XL's when you decide on the format for the next ones, I really think coffee brown would be a great choice. Thanks for the posts on this build and the great pics you have put up for all to see. Keep up the good work, the weather is supposed to cool down a little this week, maybe we can both get some work accomplished!

    malcolm1943-
    Thanks for the kind words. Anyone who would like to come by and hang out or help is welcome to. Just having people hang out and visit makes the job go a lot easier.
    Consider this an open invitation to everyone. There are always cold drinks here.

    I'll be here working all weekend. The weather has dropped 20 degrees and is much more amenable for an old guy to work and finally have good temperature to paint all day instead of a small window of opportunity. I won't feel as rushed to jam it all in at once.

    3wLarry,
    I know, where's the pictures? You'll have plenty by Sunday night!

    Rick,

    Dude!

    I came by and met Pete and a bunch of other guys ready to do stuff, but the door was closed! I think he left you a phone message.

    Ahh, I missed lunch too? I'll try again later. I was on my way to the bank for a loan so I can put gas in the car. I didn't know there were a flock of ancient Honda cars in Duarte. Must be the clean air.

    Tio, PM me with your phone.
