Hay Steve. How about you shorten your first post. Like move the pictures to the second hahaha.I'm getting to know your car better than mine.

Petaluma is just North of the Golden Gate Bridge by about 45 miles, off US HWY 101. It's a charming Victorian Town of around 50k people surounded by agriculture on all 4 sides. We are also about 12 miles west of the town of Sonoma, and maybe 20 miles as the crow flies east of the Pacific Ocean. All in all a nice spot for your next visit!

And it's the town where American Graffiti was filmed.............

This is a great build...Thanks for posting...Very nice..

Steve must be working on customers cars, haven't seen too much lately.

Not had much time lately Don and our winter is kicking in, funny years ago as a lid i worked outside through the winter, can't do it anymore

Had to paint some kitchen cabinet doors today so thought while i had the gun out i would do a test piece to see what my Blue flake was going to look like.

I chose the master cylinder as I had already smoothed it out a bit.

First up i gave it a couple of coats of Epoxy primer








After it had dried it got a quick key up with 600 wet and a coat of Black epoxy on it, I've decided to use a Black basecoat this time as it will save me a lot of work when i paint the body, I can primer it in Black and then go straight on with the blue flake therefore saving money on bascoat and time.

Steve the color is perfect. Like the deep blue with flake. Reminds me of my first motorcycle helmet!

Very sparkly (is that a word?) Flake looks good. Is that what you are doing Sues cabinets in?

Don

I've done Sues cabinet doors in Black with Pink flake panels, thats what she wanted and even if i say so myself they look pretty badass.

Thanks Steve, I like the deep blue too, There is another blue flake Willys in england and quite a few people said the blue was too close to it, Pic below As you can see they look identical

That actually looks really good. On another forum a lady on there had a custom made dining room table made out of a car hood. It was custom painted and flamed and came out super nice.

Sue's a keeper for sure.
