hello boys! long over due check in. Been pretty hectic lately. This past weekend there was a Rockabilly festival here in town, which was obviously calling my name. Beautiful cars, beautiful men with great hair...how could I not?! Anyways, here's a couple of the cars that were around. I was...

soooooooooooooooooooo. I bought a motorbike. Over here anyways. Might ship it over next year, but at least now I have a bike to ride while I'm here. 1997 Honda Shadow 600 that's been bobbed. Well is being bobbed. Oh yeah...and I get to drive/work on this while I'm here. A friend lost...

Think I might hold off a bit (although that one for only $600 looks mighty tempting...and I DO have some people in Colorado....hmmm) hahaha. really though, I'm just going to focus on making the Comet cherry and have fun driving it for a while until something else catches my eye. I'm planning on...

Hahaha that they are! I'm looking forward to getting to drive mine when I get home!

Most certainly do! I'm in the south of Australia, in Victoria. Waters get a bit cooler here than up north. The last few days, though, the temp has ranged between low 80s all the way to low 100s....so good beach weather!

you pout and throw a bit of a fit.... woke up to a text this morning from my friend back in Oregon...turns out the lady I was supposed to be buying the '67 Galaxie off of is getting a divorce and her soon to be ex has sold the car. Innitially the two of them were going to hang onto it until I...

These photos are a couple weeks old, just haven't had the time to get onto a laptop much. (too busy surfing and fishing...and working haha). The car is all primed up and *should* be in for exhaust soon. Pat was aiming to have it painted by the time New Years rolled around but it got too cold...

Ahoy! from Calgary...well, somtimes. Currently in 'straya...so technically, HELLO FROM THE FUTURE!

hello guys! checking in again. My car is done being primed! As soon as I get actual internet and not just my phone I'll upload pictures. Also, extending my stay here a bit...going to New Zealand end of February and then sticking around for a week or two to catch a Nick Cave show. Nick Cave...

Hello all! jet lag finally gone... I've actually got a drop bear tattooed on my shin! I'm in Ballarat at the moment, but will be going around Victoria and possibly Queensland doing some camping and such. Tons of cars everywhere, and a few killer shows coming up so I'll be sure to grab photos...

Hello fellas! Well, tonight I'm off to Australia (after a short 20+ hours travel time). So! I should be on here occasionally with updates of the Comet and to look at cat photos, but just in case: Happy Holidays/Merry Christmas/Whatever-you-celebrate and a Happy New Year to everyone as well...

I most certainly did! A Satin finish "espresso" (pretty much a deep grey) on the bottom, stopping at the window line, and "Sangria" red on the top with heavy flake. The metal on the interior will be redone in the same red.

Devotion Movies or TV shows?

Well, today they came and took the Comet away. She's now in Pat's shop waiting for paint and to be put back together. I leave for Australia on Thursday so from this point out I'll be checking in on it via email. Then, when I get back in February there'll be the finishing touches that will be...

pay attention to the angle of the brush and how you hold it. It helps control the thickness/thinness of the lines, similar to a calligraphy pen. Other than than, pretty much what everyone else has said...practice on cheap, flat things first, get used to how the paint flows from brush to surface.
