CB Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 Hello, HELLO, from goodly old Millwalky 16.......Willis & SKWILRY here. Anybody ever try paintin' a swwquirrel? Mebbe a dead one, but this here one is alives, an' kickin' my butt at times Ol' SKWIRLY boy must like playin' games wit me, sayin' he be needin' layers coz it's wintry time here on da planet. I been puttin so many freakin layers on 'im, I caint hardly rememeber where my TV guide is . Ah, be that as it ams, been havin' lotsa problems with paints crackin & bubblin' & stuffs. SKWIRLKLY boy just be lovin' ever li'l minute of it. Finally got some dat 'etching' primordials slop and boy did his 'face' look even worsener than this here, but I sanded him down good, but tenderly, coz I still do cares 'bout the boy, and started bein' a little kinder & gentler towards him, and slipped a new coat of the etching slop on 'im and we's gettin' there. We's both kinda likin our new look, with the flattem up greenish for the body color. We's thinkin his SKWIRLY 2 garphics will show up real goodly like agin it. Things're lookin' up............................ sheesh! The ol' boy is insistin' on wearin' his medallion............freak.......... HUH? NO, I din't say nuthin, SKWIRLY.

CB Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 Hey guys, thanks for keepin' tabs on me & ol' SKWIRLY 2. Methinks I was having way too much fun, like you said, Dave-- breathing too many fumes .....and figuring SKWIRLY would let me know when they'd start melting my old gray matter.... but I gotta rememember he's just a buncha hunksa styrene Getting his 4banger together, slowly but surely. Just got one of his heads glued up and waiting for it to cure so I can file & sand it to finish size, then on to the other one, then valve covers, cover plate, magneto, etc, etc. Finally got a satisfactory finish on the paint job.... at least it looks 'at way from my fumigated point of view More jpgs when I figure out what side of the camera I'm on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 (edited) Whatever................ SWIRKLY wouldn't let me sleep, so's I got up and worked up these here 'raised' white letters on the computer, printed 'em out, put a new Xactly knifen blade in, and sliced a pair of "WHATEVER" (& yourn truly, of course), outa some regular bond paper, copy paper, eh? Decided my sinus's couldn't bear any more stinky painty gluey poohy stuff.......you know ###### (aint nuthin there!) so anyhow, used good old artist acrylic paint for glue and .............duh, paint! to stick the cut out letters on, and then sealed 'em up with some the black acrylic, which dries even before you gets the cap off the tube to squirt ya outs a dab, so was very extremely easy to paint the white on the 'raised' letters. All this while all ya'll weres fast asleep oy: if'n any ya'll needs to wanta see mo' pix and fer sure somwhat bigger, clink das link: http://public.fotki.com/V866/crazy-cars-by-cb/page8.html Edited February 16, 2009 by CB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CB Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 Another day, and a little closer to a SKWIRLY resolution to this here buildem up. Spent some time some time ago, some time, and sprayed SK2's wheels with the DupliColor Chrome. Fantastic stuff, if'n I says so myownself. Pretty much 4 coats of the silvery stuff on all, catching each of the 4 quadrants. He even had me sprayem up his blingy dingy thingy......... boy, I don't know 'bout that. Started working up the heads fer the 4banger. Started out with a big hunka stryene, chomped it all up til it weres nice & soft like, then formed it into this here block. Nah, don't you young'uns be doin' that! Actully its sheet styrene cut & glued up into this here cube shape. Seeing how the head sizes up agin ol' SKWIRLY's finny cylinders. Now to build up another, lay out exhaust & intake portholes, & maybe some reinforcing rods, head on down to the power tool room to do some drillin' & millin'--OH Yeah! The ol' boy just loves posin'......... He just one big happy sqwirrlly li'l dude, aint he? Don't look so down SKWRILY! You's a FUNNY, not a towtruck. Ok, I's outa here..........Later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He even had me sprayem up his blingy dingy thingy......... boy, I don't know 'bout that. ... Everything looks cool. In primer you can see that al the lines are nice and crisp so the bodywork will pop in final paint. That Duplicolor stuff is impressive. You might consider their Gold version of the same stuff for El Blingy Dingy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spelled Skwirley's name wrong the first time. Had ta fixit. I 'magine Skwirley pissed is a lot worse than "Christine" riding the cotton pony!

Aint sure yet just what the final paint gonna be---ol' SKEIRWIRLY been 'poppin' quite a bit alreadys. Yep, that Duplicolor stuff is quite the stuff, but the SKWIRRLS's gonna hafta be alot nicer ta me before I gives 'im any gold. WOOOOOHOOOOOOO Not only be the Skwirlster wearin dem new sneakers he be lookin like he likes em . Way to convince him to see tings yer way CB ol bud . For da Bling I'd go wit a darker background, or mebbe Gold . Dat 4-bangy really be's takin shape too ---Lookin good, Lookin REEEEEEEEAALLL GOOOOOOD I jest noticed ya left the Rubbermade emblem on the bed-liner NIIIIICE TOUCH!!!!! ME likey Yeah Led, the SKLWIRLYSTER just like one dem rebellouss teenager, but once he got his paws in dem sneaks he done seen I aint quite ass bad as he were thinkin'. Dat 4 banger gonna be one free formy plumbin' nightmaare- already had young Bill from E&A's Pllumbing out to do a scope & diagnosistic.

I 'magine Skwirley pissed is a lot worse than "Christine" riding the cotton pony! Hey 84! Glad we could hep ya out! Letr me knows the correct spelly of the SKIRLSWIRTLY's name-- I has enuff trouble wit him as it is. Mebbe if'n I can call 'im by his 'real' name things'll go a li'l better for me. I haint beend sure if'n he beend pissed or just messin' wit me. He be kinda quiet last few days, ever since he heard dat me & Debbie is headed fer Salamanca, New Yorks for ta do some skiiing & @. He just gettin' some o' what he been dishin' out ta me. Mebbe some times away from each other be a goodly thing. "Don't forget about the pesky, leaky pushem rod tubes. The flat 4 trademark." See dat!!?? Ol' SWKWIRLKLY gets me so riles upped dat I caint be seein straights--t'anks fer the remind on them leaky tubes 84. I'm imaginin' dere gonna be a puddle unnerneath 'im.

Bernard Kron Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Alright! This is the stuff in your work I like almost as much as the design vision - how you fabricate those ideas. It's that totally unique intersect of yours between what you "see" and the desire to dig down and execute at the detail level. I guess that what me mean by "modeling"!

CB Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 Got back from a ski weekend away from the SKWIRLY 2 dude, and din't hear a peep from 'im , so I got busy doin' some engine work.......... Started with the oily pan fer the 4bangy wangy, gettin' it smoothed up 'n @. Figured I might as well do it up right, so whacked a flange outa a 'FO RENT' sign. Some nice thin & cheap styrrene. Still needs trimmed down a bits, as ya'll can sees from it settin' on the bottom of the block. Actully, afore I tackled the oily pan, I got the other head 'machined' and cut some mo' pushem rod tubers, and....... started resemblin' the head & tubers all togethers, and....... applied some pressures to kinda get everting all squarreled together kinda goodly. Layed out markings fer the intake & exhausted ports (ohboyohboyohboy--mo' machinin' ) Ol' SKWILRLY be puttin' some weight on his behind there....... and, we aints done yet. Still gots to fab up some kinda intake manifold fer under the blower, and headers, magneto, cover plates, etc. Dat 4banger gonna have so many tubers & wires & pipes 'n @ gonna hafta set a BIG gas tank down at the front of the bed so's the ol' SKLIRLWY will have some weight towards the front, so's them li'l skinnies can gets hisself in the right lane Egads! I just thought of a cool place fer a startem up thing toos . If'n all ya'll cares to wade thru a couple hunderd pix of the build, here'm das clinker: http://public.fotki.com/V866/crazy-cars-by-cb/page9.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
