Car name on door.
Spare time - Kitchen table - White and gold leaf vinyl roll = Car name.
* Mercernary was originally built by Gary and Larry Mercer back in 1963.
* Chupacabra is a supernatural beast in Mexico and Texas that kills goats.
What the heck, I'm having fun.
Have a great day...

Nice looking, Milner, my wife and I were talking just the other day about those sign painters I used to see in the offices downtown Houston back in the early sixties. They used a lot of gold leaf paint and would paint the person/company name on the back of the glass door in reverse. Probably a lost art now?.

Very nice work Milner!
Em, it seems like most places don't want to pay for a quality window painting either. I know a couple of guys that used to do it and they say places think it takes 5 minutes and that's all they want to pay for. Crazy times.Ryan

You guys are right. With labor rates being what they are, it adds up quickly. I like to think I'm paying for a persons knowledge and skill, not just for the job.
It took me about 16 hours for this job. About 4 hours cutting out the letters with a sharp x-acto knife and then about 12 hours sanding and refinishing the kitchen table because I forgot to use a cutting board underneath the work, lol.

Looks good!
Is it just me, or does it seem to be 'uncool' for Joe Hot-rodder to paint names on cars now?
Used to be once that pretty well all cars were named.

Some mistakes are too much fun to be made only once.

my late friend named his 52 Ford "Little Miss Carriage" back in the 60s and I thought those Church Ladies in our small Suthern Baptist town were gonna string him up - - - - let's see now how should you spell "Mello Vanillo"?.

I expected to have to pay when I had the doors on my truck done. I knew it would take some one with skill and a steady hand. I surely didn't want it to lok like a kid with a crayola did it. Heck, I can handle that.

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
