Default A lick of paint for the ol Deuce....

Well after 12 years of tooling around in primer, with the help of a good mate I managed to paint the roadster.


In just under 2 months for solid work, she's now done.


Now to finish off that big stroker will all the good bits over winter and knock over the top for which Ive already fabbed the frame for.


Some pix....

Well looks great. You have to be proud of that gem. Have you got it displayed in a hotel lobby?

Nothing looks better then a nice paint job. I have come to despise the fake patina look.
Good job!
