I'll get this color code tomorrow.

I'm going to use same scheme as 67 Chevelle......Rally wheels and red walls

It looks like Nassau Blue. I had a 66 Vette that was that color. Looks awesome when painted right. You must use a clear coat.

I'm sure everybody else will agree with me. If that's not a confidence builder I don't know what is. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Thanks Dennis, there are a lot of BoZo's rebuilding cars. I just don't have the capital to get it going. I also don't want to borrow any if it was possible in todays economy.

Just go ahead and block it for BLACK PAINT for the same price..........It will really show just how good your work is..........

It keeps you young. You still coming over this weekend?

For me it was more of a health thing then anything else but I 'll never regret being my own boss. When I get tried I quit and go work on my truck. Oh ya did I mention I'm broke. But then who is'nt now a days. Livin day by day and loving it.

Trying to keep the dream alive. Had another person call today. He has a 72 Suburban that needs redone. I don't have the room right now. It would be nice to have 2 projects (paying) going at the same time. So when one is hung up for something I could move to the other.

Is that your final answer? Also don't forget to tell me mouldings or no mouldings.

I hear ya. Is it possible to work from your garage like me? That cuts way down on expenses. As far as equipment, I had a shop before, and have been collecting tools for a long time. So that wasn't a problem for me. Your doing real good the way your doing it right now. Like you said get a couple going at the same time. That's why I don't have much time to do my own.

Blue it is final answer.........Here's a link to paint code.

Nice!!

[daverod]

Nice movie. From now on screw the pics we want movies. I did turn Obama off to come watch you sand. I figure you'll help me more than he ever could. Is there anyway you could talk in a more western voice

[ruffrida2005]

good video Alan, keep them coming

[198plus]

I agree no more pics, you have spoiled us now.........What about a web cam

[Alan's Classic]

Instead of a how to video, I could do a how to hour 1-2 times a week via webcam with a membership if I knew how to set it up. It would be cheaper than any school and you could ask questions and sit back and drink you beverage of choice. $30/month with a video of the session for sell to members for about $10 just throwing out some ideas.

Throw in a shlong bed, some porn music and some hooters girls and you got a deal.
Nice video Alan.

See - this is how they hook you. Starts out real friendly like, then before you know it - you're totally addicted!



Great concept, Alan - you should pursue the idea. Has a lot of merit.

Count me in... I can read something twelve times and never get it, but I see it once, I'm good to go!!!

Hope to see you at the next Po Boys...

Been in and out of town a lot lately, but think I have finally gotten caught up.

What's wrong you can't understand a redneck? BTW thanks. I'm getting over being camera shy somewhat.

If I had 40 subscribing members every month, plus advertisements I could quit My full time job. I've got something else to think about. I could get guest on there like product reps and professionals to show their tricks. My girls watch Icarley.com on TV and it has me thinking. I think I could do a web cam, but the payment portion would be greek to me.

[198plus]

After many hours trying to find a 64 or 65 C10 truck the color of this Chevelle..........I gave up ?????????





So then I borrowed this truck.........And gave it a new paint job !!!!!!!!!!




Came up with this.....Its close in color anyway.....Owner's probably going to be pissed, when he comes out in the morning and his truck is a different color

[jason65]

That looks good. It's good to have a color someone else "that you know of" has not done yet.

I didn't know you were that computer savvy.

You live close enough, you could get some personalized training. Check out the North Georgia group. I listed a whole bunch of shows and cruise ins.

1. You look exactly like I though you would.

2. I'd subscribe but it'd hafta be after I graduate for time more than money reasons.But money reasons too.. This site is actually one that isn't blocked at school..lol

Has your instructor seen the sight yet?

(highlighted) I don't know if that's good or bad.

The patch makes it easy. I'm done chewing. All this talk about dipping makes you want one huh. Good luck, get some patches.

I actually quit for 6 months and for some stupid reason I started again. This time is a little easier. I don't want to quit cold turkey. I get very irritated and edgy

It's helping.

Couldn't get in the grove tonight, I went out to sand some more and said the hell with it.

I did the toothpick thing. It helped to have something in my mouth besides food and a cigarette .

Hey Alan I haven't had a dip of nicotine in over a year, been dipping Cope for 25 years. I used the patch and this stuff..

If you use the patch you can quit the chew and you won't be edgy or irrtated because your still getting the nic. Then you just step the patches down. It takes the thought of chewing out of the picture. Nicotine is a tough thing to stop. Chew is even harder because it has like 3 times the amount of nicotine as smokes. I'm glad I quit. Now just I'm hooked on Rockstar,trucks,hunting, and porn.
