Thanks Mario!


Here's a pic of my wife a "nail tech" doing a little letter painting on my new re-chromed 63' grill, as you can tell she has already painted the license plates and the old Chevy frames. :chevy:

:metal: Score!!!!!!!! I received a phone call yesterday asking if I had a nice 67-72 fleetside tailgate and if I was interested in a trade for a set of early 60's sail panels the kind with the paint divider in the middle, I hesitated for a second trying to keep my composure and excitement down telling him in a calm voice that I had a super nice tailgate in my slash(;) not disclosing that I had only 50 bucks into the gate) and I guess we could trade if he really needed it, lo and behold he just brought them over, just a little cleaning and they'll be good to go on the Pumpkin. :)

Re: 65' Short Fleet BBW "The Pumpkin"
 

very cool!!! nice work kat I mean king!

Re: 65' Short Fleet BBW "The Pumpkin"
 

About 15 years ago I had just bought a 63' Impala and mentioned to the wife that the car plates looked liked sh#t compared to the car, or something to the effect of ....looks like a new pair of sneakers with old shoelaces, she laughed and said "do you want me to paint them? I could make them look a lot better..... remember I paint for a living, :lol:she hasn't stop painting plates and frames since.

Thanks Keith, :metal: I thought I lost you when I changed the grill. :lol:

Why not? You just have invest in different brushes and paint. :chevy:

Thanks Dino!!!! I have no problem answering to kat!!!! I've been called much worse. :lol::lol::lol:

Re: 65' Short Fleet BBW "The Pumpkin"
 

Too cool! Was thinking it might be something I could try my hand at someday. Would have to source out someone for painting the tag itself, but I could handle the finer details I think. I'm artistic & have a pretty steady hand.

Does your wife get a lot of business doing them? Looks like she does a great job! Thanks again. :chevy:

Re: 65' Short Fleet BBW "The Pumpkin"
 

She has done sets here and there mostly for friends and I'm still by far her best customer :lol: but the nail art is still her 1st love. ;)

Re: 65' Short Fleet BBW "The Pumpkin"
 

You need this one too Rene!
