The weather's been good here for a couple of days, and I had some projects ready for paint, or easily readied, so today was the day! Here are the pictures of most of what I added color to, the only missing piece is the fender unit for the 34 Ford Coupe. I did paint the underside of the fenders though. The only one my wife remarked about was the 32 Vickie. She liked the color. If this forum doesn't like it, it may certainly be removed. Gary 59 Chevy Impala HT mild custom.....

Well this DIDN'T happen to me today. Yeah baby!!!!!

What's the little rod on the floor in the last picture? Looks pretty cool from up here ! Hope it didn't get overspray on it...

You're wrong guys, at least as my source for the little maroon "T". It was part of a Revell "AMIGO PACK", which was just a variation of the Roth "Tweedy Pie II". Gary

No Problem with "Pepto Pink", I remember seeing one or more pink cars on the front of Rod & Custom and other "Little Pages" magazines. So pink Hot Rods & Customs were around in the 50's and 60's era without a doubt! Nice color choices on all the rest of the line-up too.
My only thought on the Pink was that Black fenders would make it PoP like crazy! LoL!! I understand if you are sticking with "Pepto Pink", like Pepto-Bismol it covers everything!

Sadly for me the 59 Impala in the lead pictures is sidelined for a few months because I didn't get enough clear on it. Shouldn't be a problem though, I didn't burn through the red anywhere. Gary
