Awsome stuff kats,

G V love the the lines as usual.

alteredpilot you make me sick looking good.

whodacky,safariknut,daddy-o you don't need me saying anything......you gotta know your some of the best in the world.

I could go on and on but who would care on with the show.
something I posted earlier in the week.

I have another piston painted up and will post it when I get the camera in a couple of hours

 

My damn computer won't display the TIKI!!!! Dammit! I talked to KC a while back about this, and now I can't see it!! Maybe it will show up later when I refresh this post...

anywho....
here's a real oldie from the archives, I found these cool skulls on ebay years ago and bought em all, painted them and sold them, went to buy more from the dude, and he vanished!!! OOH! Scary!

great show this week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Wow , some kick-a#* goodies this week, well every week!!! Hey shortbus, that picture is just killer. Selling any prints on that?

Well here's my line I was playing with a old crappy dash and a few caps.

 

cap

 

Just got back from where a friend merc is getting built. I have posted some pics of it on this post a couple weeks ago, but when we walked into the shop this week, HOLY SHIT ANOTHER MERC!
This thing looks just plain sinister, a lot of tricks in it, but is getting built pretty hi-tech. Straight gas(propane) powered 460 Ford with a whole lot of billet shit bolted on. Its getting built as a modern car, and should ride like one too, with a late model (70's Holden) subframe graft. The Bare metal merc's airbag system is fitted, the car drops as fast as it's weight will let it, pretty cool.
Got plenty of pics, but the black merc was a BITCH to take photos of, especially since it was dark, with only the fluro shop lights.

Last one, i promise

 

heres something I am working on as a backpiece for a nice asian girl. Her first appointment is thursday of next week so I have a bit to do until then.

Really cool stuff, everyone!

KC...that tiki RULES! Ass for the paint/foam melting dilema...if you use "Design Masters" brand spray paint, you won't have any reaction problems. It costs a buck or two more, but it's worth it on the labor saved! Michaels and Hobby lobby and flower shops usually carry it. Anyways...that tiki RULES! Did I alreaddy say that? If I can get some free time and cash, I'm gonna have to try to make one!

With my paper mache' flour water and "OTHER" mixture there was no FOAM PENETRATION(tm).

What I could have done if time permitted was glass it with marine epoxy and fiberglass cloth. It won't eat the foam! but due to time constraints I sealed it with the paper and bombed it with KRYLON. The Primeer went on as dry as I could get it just to be safe.

The next step is to glass this one in the marine epoxy resin. Hit it with a little HOK flake in a dark bronze metalic paint some satin clear and a lot of pinstriping! But I have to fundraise some money for that! So in the mean time I have 3 more to do. Maybe if I am feeling pretty I will do a mini tech post of the process. The cool thing is that right now it weighs about 20 lbs and with glass and paint it should only be around 30 -40 lbs tops!

Are you sure that the resin won't eat the foam?

 

Nothing new yet. Here's something I did awhile back, my first attempt at painting on an actual car.

 

Close up......

They use almost the same stuff on surfboards. Boat hulls, and model boats shaped out of polystyrene. Most of the new ground effects kits are sculpted out of a foam then glassed to make a mold. I had a long talk with the local boaters supply about it. Most resins contain a styrene derivitive or a xylene of some sorts but the marine epoxy resins are formulated for styrofoams.

 

Don't have much time for art these days...but here's my "Disco Dodge Dart" I built earlier this year...groovy 1/25 scale Full Boogie Machine!!!
