Dr. Cranky Posted August 14, 2012 Author Posted August 14, 2012 Thanks for the kind words, Wilbert. Hopefully Doctor Cranky will be around for a good long time, shoot he just turned 50 which I hope is not that old. LOL.
Ace-Garageguy Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 ........... he just turned 50 which I hope is not that old. LOL. .......a mere child. "Life begins at forty", so it's been said.

Hmmmnn, I have noticed that since you have turned 50 , the projects are being turned out a bit slower ! We might have to up your Geritol dosages or buy bigger tennis balls for the walker ! Lmao ! Looking good , Virg , keep at it !

Bros. sandwiches, or more Scrapple! :lol:
Dr. Cranky Posted August 14, 2012 Author Posted August 14, 2012 Thank you, Ira. I am currently working on the engine. It's coming together nicely, I think.
pharr7226 Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 Awesome work Doc. You make me want to experiment with rust.
Dr. Cranky Posted August 14, 2012 Author Posted August 14, 2012 Rick it's a truckload of fun. If you don't believe me ask, Donn Yost! LOL. Stay tuned in for a new round of progress pics . . .
Dr. Cranky Posted August 14, 2012 Author Posted August 14, 2012 All right, my friends, making a heck of a lot of progress today. Why? Because it is raining and hot outside. The interior is getting done . . . When I start to feel obsessive compulsive about detailing interiors, I always think of how little of it is going to be seen.
Dr. Cranky Posted August 14, 2012 Author Posted August 14, 2012 The engine is also done . . . waiting to be added to the rolling chassis. Some old fashioned CRANKY/EYEGORE gizmolo-izing! :lol:
Dr. Cranky Posted August 14, 2012 Author Posted August 14, 2012 I still have to wash this down to make it a bit run-in, if you know what I mean . . . it looks too brand spanking new. Nothing a few washes cannot fix . . . Note the plates used to cover the wholes of the hood brackets . . .
rmvw guy Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 This is really looking good Dr. Cranky! I like the shiny new look of your engine but, just wondering what mixture you will use on your wash. Can you name the products and mixtures you use? I have reached this same step on my current build and could sure use your help! Thanks, and I will say this '40 Ford just keeps getting better, good stuff and glad to see you in action once again!
Dr. Cranky Posted August 14, 2012 Author Posted August 14, 2012 With pleasure, Ron. I am using a new AK-INTERACTIVE BLACK & BROWN WASH. Enamel, but it goes on smooth. I will post pictures of the final results.
Kustom Rodder Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 Lookin really good Doc. I have 1 question you said you sprayed the white wall inserts flat white what kind of a wash do you put on them to give them a little road grime look?
Sixx Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 Doc, I'm diggin the plates you got on the interior, and the holes on the fire wall!!
Dr. Cranky Posted August 14, 2012 Author Posted August 14, 2012 Lookin really good Doc. I have 1 question you said you sprayed the white wall inserts flat white what kind of a wash do you put on them to give them a little road grime look? Mike, this is all paint, except for the wheels, which have a black wash. The wide all inserts are painted with white primer. The tires and back wheel inserts are weathered with the airbrush by dusting/fogging a bit of sand and light gray acrylic paints, slightly diluted with distilled water so that they are transparent. Thank you for the question and comments. Doc, I'm diggin the plates you got on the interior, and the holes on the fire wall!! Thanks, D. I appreciate the comments and support. Look'n good! Thank you, Steve. Stay tuned in for more.
