Dumpleton Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Thought I would put it out there as I have restored a few old VW buses over the past 10 years or so. My favourite style would be the original paint patina look, I like to fix the rust and try to match the paint to look as original as possible. If you are into cars at all post them up. Here are a couple of pics of the cars I have worked on. from this (recently sold this one) to this Another during work painted and finished Hunter Morrow and jade1955 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2301-cool-old-cars/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan S Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Spotted this one in el Barrio in Milwakky last summer. Got out to snap a pic, and had to back up to a porch to get it all in. Didn't notice the Vatos were all hanging on that particular porch! Turned out all good, tho', they were digging the piece as much as I was.

Dan S Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 So this is def one of my favorite rides. I confess, I didn't do much of the work myself, but hired it done for a friend in Deutschland. With gas at $10 a gallon there, I don't think he'll be taking delivery anytime soon, and it's just sitting in storage, getting driven a few hours a month to keep the juices flowing. If anyone is interested in a REAL expensive kool old car, hit me up! slayer9019, Dumpleton and jade1955 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2301-cool-old-cars/#findComment-38018 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter Morrow Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Reminding me of this guy in town I know because we're both Minnesota Vikings fans. He's got a Studebaker commander and it rules. I've always wanted a Studebaker but I don't think I'm going to have the money for a long time.

Tight-Lines Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 My grandfather had a 68 mustang fastback rotting in the driveway for most of my childhood. I have yet to forgive him for that crime against humanity. Not the oldest car but old enough.

Dan S Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Old bikes? Well hell...I might have a snap or two of old scooters. Here's a few of mine, pretty old ones, I think they were taken in like 1992. The ex made off with all the picture albums, I had these layin in a desk drawer. I've had this old girl for 35 years...she's been through some changes, but this is pretty much what she looks like now. I've changed a tad, tho'. Pardon the amateur photoshopping where I removed a passenger.

Dan S Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 The bike? Yeah, pretty much whenever I can. Been a bad summer for it tho', just had a plate put in my foot, and had my shoulder rebuild a few months back, but yeah, she's got beaucoup miles with me.

Dan S Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Trips me out how much the old VW's go for here now...even a rusty piece is worth a small fortune. I was looking at Bugs in Mexico, they just quit making the 65's a few years back down there, and you can get a real cherry one for a couple g.

Yeah people pay a lot more money for them than there true value, really they drive like crap need to much attention and usually have some kind of oil leak, maybe that is the attraction to them?

Dan S Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Very kool rides! Those would bring you a small fortune over here. Funny, when the Bugs were first coming into the country here, it was all "gas-mileage"...yet now, a full-size car gets better mileage, and it even has a heater! I'd still get on if the price was right, tho'. Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/2301-cool-old-cars/#findComment-38056 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumpleton Posted June 17, 2012 Author Share Posted June 17, 2012 Ha ha I could use a small fortune to fly to America to get some real quality tattoos. Kev Tijerina, that impala looks awesome really like the paint on it, how has the roof or hood been painted?

The purple and teal was candy with pearl mixed in. The roof was 'laced' (lay down a lace curtain as a template, spray,win) and the teal was faded at the edges with the purple.

Abellve Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Nice stuff on here. I guess if it's open to bikes too, I'll throw mine in the mix. 66 Triumph Trophy with its newly painted tank, used to be black.
