I remember lace jobs and the never ending line. Bathtub sponge stamps and using sponges to make fake wood ... Gold/silver leaf...credit/ business card fades...saran wrap marble...spider webs...and acetylene torch smoke marks. Wish I had pics of my memory.

i grew up doing these type of things,at the time it was consisered very inovative,if you look at all the new technques and trick paints and some of the super fantastic artist of today as good as it all is this old school stuff will hold its own with any of it.

I love old paint jobs.My father-in-law used to lay down some really crazy paint jobs back in the 70's.We were kickin around a few ideas for my car like an old letter job wet sanded around the edges to look like an old racer.My grandfather had a shop back in the early sixties called "Shades Garage" I was thinking of lettering the doors or quarters with that logo and making it look old.

my Dad or my uncle ..had a story about this car being at Atco during the week way back..
i think they where prepairing for Indy?
doing some flogging-testing..
or it was some sort of race?
my uncle was giving it a look over ..and was asked to step back...
they wouldnt let anyone get too close to the car in the pits or in the lanes..
my dad said they must have been hiding something.
later found out the wing had lead in it..and the back glass was 2x as thick..
and i think they had a neutral drop tranny in it?
(i may be confusing stories?)
but the car was supposed to be set up to take out Grumpy or one of the faster cars?
ive later heard other stories..but they sort of all blend together over time?
cheapst.
another picture from my collection.

after clear it toned/tamed it down some..
