'41 Willy's Pro Street Curbside

Lol, if I was I'd call ya a Nutter Butter.

Got in too late to Skype.

Best wishes for a smooth procedure and an uneventful and quick recovery. That last photo of the masking is just awesome, it redefines the term 'blobject.' Take care and try not to get too bored, think of it as a great excuse to watch all those really cheesy 'guy' movies SWMBO won't let you watch when she's around

Thanks Max, appreciate it.

Lol, thanks for the kind words Kats. I am hoping to be able to at least sit up after a few days.

Skid, Gary, thanks guys for the well wishes and support. I hope I am able to sit up after a few days. You all better get cracking with your WIP and keep me entertained.

Good luck with the surgery Curtis. Maybe you can use a pea shooter to finish masking the canvass.

Thanks Denis, that would probably work. That reminds me of this storey.

I had a CJ7 back in the early 2000's that I had built with a fibreglass body, a fully custom mod lifted beast, only Jeep part left was the steering colum, speedo and the frame. By the end of the project I had no more money for paint so I paint bombed it with flat black rattle cans. Then a good friend and I grabbed a 24, two pieces of 3" string, in one hand a beer, in the other was the string. We would dip the paint in florescent green paint then slap it onto the body.
We finished the 24 had a blast and ended up with a wild looking paint job.

Last update and last application of coverage media. No idea if that is what it's called. Anyway the blue tack was finished up tonight, then I slapped a rough clear coat of PU. I was really hoping to get the chrome on before Friday morning. It actually works out, the PU will be fully cured by the time I lay down the Spaz Stix Chrome.
Shay dude, I kept the Space Invaders.

Not going to happen, heading into the job shop tomorrow morning.

I'll be on line til Sunday night. Thanks for checking in guys.

Stunning work Curt, placing all those 'flowers' must have been a trial of patience!!
Cant wait to see the chrome go on.

X2.

gents.

I had to try a small section this morning.

That looks fantastic Curt, and it blends into the pink brilliantly!!

I've got no idea what you're on Curt but you need to send some over here if it gives inspiration like that mate :)

Reminds me of a giraffe.

I think he's been eating those funny blue raisins he stuck on his model...

Brillant

OMG that's so trippy - it looks awesome and over the top in that street rod fantasy kind of way

Nice job. Has great potential - thanks for the tutorial.

Once again everyone, thanks for the interest and support with this wacky adventure.

Thanks dude. It may just have something to do with the roof, ;-), just saying.


Not sure if I am going to go with a fade on the rest of this or use the latex masking for a hard edge leading onto the panels.
My eyes are getting so bad, even with 3.5x glasses, I had a hard time defining where the underlying panels were on this little test run.

So until I actually get my ass in gear and get proper prescription glasses I think a hard line will work. That way I can just lay down the Chrome and not be concerned with the edging and fading.

Thanks Mike, hope you found something useful. I look forward to seeing your own twist put to use someday.

Good thought. I'm lucky though, my wife is a bit of a Tomboy,so she like
S those cheesy "guy" movies too.
Thanks Kats, I appreciate the sentiment.
