  1. Most likely not, Most butlers refuse to go to that "noisy place" :D
  2. I'm from Wisconsin................but I left 17 years ago for warmth.....
  3. Being that I'm of the Blue oval persuasion..many might think a T Bolt or big inch mustang would be my choice, BUT that is soooo ordinary. 351 powered.....
  4. Nope ..just smart Donn.....Where I live 70% humidity is the norm....enamels with lacquer thinner take weeks to dry...... I do paint year round
  5. Hey Chad..glad to see you here. I will be truthful..the last time my bench was that clean and tidy was when it was first set up. Most of my tools go in a carousel type holder....if I put them back. I use tool chests, drawers, and plastic containers to keep all the good junk sorta organized....
  6. I suspect blushing, caused by moisture trapped in the air (humidity) once dry It should polish out without too much effort...That is why I shoot lacquers not enamels.

  12. Reread the story Harry....it is #1010 and its owner was known to have stored it........now its sold for $800K The turquoise sedan is the 10th of 50 pilot cars built by Preston Tucker in 1948 According to Follis, Tucker No. 1010 was bought on July 16, 1948, by Philadelphia Tucker Sales. On Nov. 22, it was returned to the factory (typically for upgrades such as the Y1 transmission) and later sold to the El Monte Tucker Co. in El Monte, Calif. Fast forward to June 15, 1956, when a classified ad in the Oakland Tribune offered "One of the fabulous originals — Tucker engine — it runs — 4-door sedan — near new condition. Make offer. Olympic 8-4238. By Owner." Don and Mignonette Wright bought the car four days later and would own it for more than 50 years. By the time the Wrights bought No. 1010, it had been repainted in non-factory turquoise (over the original blue) and reupholstered, said Follis. Don Wright was president of the Tucker Automobile Club in 1980-81, but the family remained secretive about the car and wouldn't sell it, said Follis.

Since this is interiors by the good Dr Cranky..I used this same tecnique but instead of tissue, I printed and sized to scale some backrounds, put them together on one sheet and printed two copies on regular paper. I let it dry, gave it two mist coats of dullcoat and let it dry overnight.Next day I took my patterns and transfered them to my prints, cut out and applied with white glue and water.let dry trimmed things up and then painted over with Tamiya clear orange...Enough talkin...Thanks again Dr!! ;)
