Frisco Tank..

Basically this tank was a practice panel deal for my 31' ford Fuel Coupe project. I plan on doing the faded orange panel on both sides of the frame rails with the pattern going from outer rail to inner rail panels all over silver flake with a silver flaked motor, and a orange body barley orange kandy on the roof fading to so dark its almost black at the rocker. Yes I'm going for the gold with the next project car goal is to unveil it at Cobo Hall 2013 on chrome jacks with mirrors under it. Watch for progress pics this summer... Side note i'll be painting chopper tanks starting in February 1 a month random designs will be available. inquire at rdfl313@yahoo.com

Fully Flaked Eff Yew Fifty 5!

I'm really proud of this. The summer issue of Hot Rod Deluxe featured Detroit Autorama this year. They came to Detroit with High Hopes of "True" classic customs and rods in "the basement" and what they essentially wrote was theyre is too many rubber rats and non trad cars with no style or class, and the cars they featured in the article were the best of the beasement along with the favorite traditonal show cars from upstairs. It's an honor that Me and Keven Carter made the cut in such a tradtional article....

What's New..

Well these Bad Ass business cards showed up from Car N Art the other day, not only are the "true metalflake" business cards they also serve as stickers.

Also in the works i have a vintage Falstaff Beer Keg to paint, a detroit parkin meter to finish. The Cosmanuat Stroller should be asembled soon so ill have a pic of that up soon as well as the "Pleasure Chest" which is at Jeff Sheas for letters and stripes.

Put up some new filters in the booth, about to order up a set of candy concentrates of about 42 new colors, and upcoming projects include the Poncho Dash, Phil's Bobber Metals, the Top Secret "TropiCoooler"

And in Media news, the Fully Flaked Fifty 5 is in gleaming colormatic imagery in this months Hot Rod Deluxe, Kustoms Illustrated #25
