Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / April 2005depressing stude weekend-- kinda
One of my best friends is a custom painter, who also happenes to be a metal artist with a website which I designed in trade for a '55 coupe paint job. We decided it would probably be easiest to just partially dismantle the car and let him do everything while I play more with the main body shell. Reasonable plan, but it's sure depressing to take bits and pieces off a running car that looked pretty good Oh well- it'll be awesome when I get it back and now I'll get things done that weren't done because I REALLY avoided taking panels off It's going to be black- and pearl white for those who might care Right now- it's an orphan *pout* Sounds like a neat paint combo...

Hey, while you have the front end off, make sure you spray some rust killer into the double metal seam at the rear of those front fenders and seal them up so as not to collect any more gunk. Treat em and seal em. Best protection against rust I know of.

As much as i like the man who originally restored my coupe, he screwed a whole bunch of things up- and left out a lot of fixes he could have made which are causing me endless grief now My grandson has already informed me he's getting both the c cab- and the coupe when I croak--- so I guess i better do them right Hell yeah, I care, sounds like a pretty cool color combo Jimbo........I didn't think old farts painted 'em something nice like that! <GGG> Sonny (ducking and running for DEEP cover!) > One of my best friends is a custom painter, who also happenes to be a metal > artist with a website which I designed in trade for a '55 coupe paint job.

When you say 'old fart' I know you're not talking about me, so I wont respond. <G> Signaturethanks, Jerry Forrester remove 'no spam' to respond > Hell yeah, I care, sounds like a pretty cool color combo Jimbo........I > didn't think old farts painted 'em something nice like that! <GGG> > > Jerry's painting his '55 black and pearl white too? > i didn't know that lol |
