My new Bucket Build

[engine24355]

Thanks alot. I am really starting to enjoy the build now that i am on the assembly side of this project. Let me know the next time your over my way and maybe you could stop by if you have time.

Sure will. I am anxious to see the masterpiece first hand.

Very nice build going on! Could you give me a ball park figure on your paint job? I am trying to save my old 1970's flames with a repaint. If that isn't possible then I am going for a complete repaint.

Hey Flats. Mine ran $500. I had a painter do it at his house for me.

 

[Flatsman]

Thanks for the quick response! I can live with that number. Great looking paint!

 

[2old2fast]

I'm guessing the $500 was for the painter, paint not included!!?

I am also guessing that the price of the paint isn't included too.

looking good!

Thanks guys. The paint was donated by a local paint store and yes, the 500 was only for bodywork, paint, sand and buff.

 

[Flatsman]

Does that paint store want to donate anymore paint? Just kidding.

LOL, i have been doing business with them for many years and friends with the manager. I stopped by one day and explained what i was building, i asked him how for much for the paint and materials. He said approx $700. I guess i must passed out because the next thing i remember was him saying "don't worry about it, i will donate it". I thought i would pass out again, LOL. Seriously, i was very fortunate and thankful to get that score.

No, I just started a memorial to the men who were killed in the fire. My dad served onboard the Forrestal. Thanks for visiting the website.

Fred, I just bought a quart of Subaru World Ralley Blue, it cost me $175 not including the hardner and reducer. What the hell, my neighbor and I will do all the body work and shoot it, still a really cheap paint job if you ask me.
Zack, you bucket is one nice piece of a hot rod.

 

[Zack]

Thanks sstock. Here is the progress dad and i made yesterday. We're slowing getting there. Have to be done by Spring. Some of the local rodders have me on a deadline, LOL. I have also decided to upholster my interior myself. I recently acquired my Aunt's old Consew sewing machine. So, i will take my time and get it exactly like i want it. Needless to say i will cover the wood inside with some cheap black or tan fabric in the meantime.
