Thread: Line Drawings '40 Ford cpe, VW(2),49-55 Chev P/U

Tweet

Free! Here are a few "near stock bodied" drawings left over from paint concept work. I don't think the guys will mind if I share the blank drawings, so you can sketch or photoshop your projects. :-)

Great art work,very good. Those VW Kombi split front windscreen vans are real collector items all around the world now. I would love to have the real one parked in my garage looking like that.

You should see the real one! It is now sporting an over-the-top psychedelic paint job. :-)~ I would post it, but a magazine feature is in the works.

My teen years were in the sixites...so it was a lot of fun listening to Hendrix, Clapton and the Doors, and painting this one! I may just have to put on one of my old tie dyed shirts, and get a picture with it. :-o

Hi Hotrodpaint, I didn't realise you actually owned the cars. The kombi looks good with the roof rake and I love those headlight eye brows. Yes I'm in NZ so I would like to see some photos of the Kombi post here just to tease me please.

Sorry if it wasn't clear. I don't own them. Many years ago I found that I liked building better than cruising....and I liked painting better than building. :-) My buddies started buying me equipment if I would paint their toys. Eventually I gave up my own toys... which were a long line of Chevys, Novas, Camaros, and early Vettes... so I could do my favorite part, full time. That was about 1985. Today I pour my heart into my latest project. When it's done, I start another one! It's the perfect job....except for the lack of retirement benefits....but who would want to??? :-)

I'll post the van as soon as I can.

Hi Hotrod paint, Sorry I got it wrong about owership of above cars. I have a friend down here in NZ that taught himself how to auto paint in the 60's and turn out to be a top sort after custom car painter. One his first jobs was a heavy metallic tangerine with purple lace /white pinstripe paint job on an early Anglia that the local Rod club chased him to enter into their rod show.He didn't think it was good enough to be seen with top rods in a show setup but was absolutely shocked when he walked away with Best paint award. He went to own his wn Panel and Paint shop and did extremely well.

When you love what you do, you work harder at it! :-) Never being satisfied helps too.

Whiplash, click on hotrodpaints camera if you want to see some of his work. But only if you don't mind drooling

rc57, Thanks.

I have the BEST job there is! :-) ...working on great customs, and not having to hold down a "real job". I gave up plans for retirement, because I would be doing the exact same thing!
