One of your self help books? 

[grizz]

Once again……

 

Just ideas. 
 

I love the electric blue. 
 

 

[grizz]

And yes……..

 

 I think it would be a challenge to bring these together in a single striking design

Well, you, of all people, should know that I have no need for this.

Do you ever do airbrush work? 
 

Especially fading around pinstripes and such. 

[grizz]

Amazing what a difference a day makes. 
 

A wash and some polish later. 
 

Today some rain beads. 
 

Pity about it all. 
 

Loving it.

Not yet, never had something that I felt would benefit from some fade work, but never know what tomorrow might bring

Applied by a pro.

Hey @grizz have you considered wrapping? Seems like the car is a solid enough base, no specialist gear needed, just some skill and patience (we know you have enough of those from your previous projects) and some time. 

All sorts of crazy stuff available without the need for a spray gun and a paint booth.

As an example... Gloss Metallic Candy Green Vinyl Wrap with ADT - WrapDirect.com

I have not considered it. 
 

To me, this car is in part a learning school. 
 

Techniques otherx just talk about. 
 

I would like to try, and master. 
 

Literally just went to my garage to see if I still had something I thought I had. 
 

Bingo !!! 
 

And it works.

The saving grace with painting is, you can just rub it back and do again if it goes wrong, but a downside with starting out is, you will look back at your earlier attempts, and see every flaw.  I haven't done much painting, but if I look at previous things, I can see all sorts of errors,  just learn from it and do it better next time

[GlenAnderson]

I’d definitely consider getting it wrapped…

[Westbay]

Can you paint on wrap ?

[grizz]

PHOTOSHOP CHAMPIONS ??
 

Could someone please add these wheels to the Oldsmobile for me please?? 
 

I am not sure if this is enough material to work with. 
 

Wheels are 18”

 

Thanks.

I just realised that I had not added a couple of pictures of the beginning and end of the engine bay cleanup for all those who CBA to watch the video. 
 

 

So a few before and after pics. 
 

Small changes ehhh. 
 

Bit by bit.

Thanks a lot. 
 

But I odered a Diet Coke not Pepsi Max 😉

 

I really need My car specifically with those wheels on. 
 

This one is the same problem. 
 

Different car and colour altogether. 

[Westbay]

AI at it's best ... and I couldn't remember what the colour is called and it is the right shape !   ☺️

Wheel guys……..

Will I be able to buy appropriate wheel nuts in M12 x1.5 to fit these Dodge wheels, including the correct tapers for alloys? 
 

My heart says yes, my head says “Grizz, you have no clue here”
