It's just really, really nice to see that there are still people out there doing work like this; it's a true artform, which would make you lot ... well, artists! Y'all are the Juniors House of Colors on the East Coast!!

Like I said, Joe. I am a better bodyman than computer hack! A lot of people sit in front of a puter and figure out a lot of stuff, I learned a few basics, then headed BACK to the SHOP!! In fact I just got back FROM the shop. I took another 15 pics today! ( Of Lady Di's silver,black and primer)

I can 'rough in' a whole car faster than I can 'resize' a picture! I usually hand the card to Di and have her send me a 'link'!! THAT works best.

I actually spend 8 hours a day on the puter, but I am loading DATA! I have very little patience with the damned things when I'm 'off the clock'!!

I put in my little numbers and dream of working on cars! The company spys won't allow us to play and learn things that are not 'business' related on company time. I can throw in a 'slideshow' CD when I'm not busy, but I dare NOT download them.
The only reason that I didn't have her do that with this project is because it's HER CAR! I shot the silver under the new hood tonight, then we bolted it on.

I told my brother that I want to squirt this one! He got to shoot Henry!

I did some 'warm-up' shooting on my lil' red wagon sat afternoon. The front bumper was getting rough so I FIXED it!

I'm the same Jerry

I'm actually only interested in learning or mastering anything that I want the damned thing to do.

Anything else is dross and time wasting.

Hey, I resemble that remark!

Some of us like to play with the "picture box". I design web pages for a "hobby".

To me, it's like one big crossword puzzle........

Myself, I would rather spend 4 hours laying out tape for paint! I spent 4 1/2 hours taping Henry! Only took about an hour to clean up the overspray. If I would have spent an hour taping, It would have NEVER came clean again.

PS, your girl will be scrubbed to death tomorrow and taped tomorrow night. She will get the 'GLITTER' applied thursday night. She should be back in your arms on saturday evening.

I'm OK with taking pics, It's the part where they go into the puter that is confusing. I can burn them to a CD or print. but they just won't smash down far enough for this site! (with the program that we use)

Interested, but not till after we get all these cars painted!! Shot Di's silver tonight.
By time I get to the puter, I'm so tired that things just don't sink in very well! I just started hour number 19 for this day!

(Di's car looks SWEETT!!) She hasn't seen anything but primer. It's silver and shiney now! Got a few more TRIX to go before it is ready for 'prime-time'!!

Body work is 99.5% 'perfect'.

Unique Whips!!

The crew from Unique Whips will be 'interviewing' a guy about boats that will be available soon.

We hope that they don't want pics of the 'plug' for the mold!! I will have to move my coffee cup, camera and all those pics of Henry's car!!

I haven't leaned on that boat for about 10 hours! My Nephew is building that boat in the shop where Henry was painted! If fact, the 'spoiler' was laying on it when I took the pics.

The boat will be named 'Excaliber'. Class Glass will be making the mold once 3 Wilsons get done!!

I'm sure that I will be involved in the finish work once Billy gets done with the mods.
He might have been done by now but the boat got pushed into a corner so the SVXi could come in. (my fault)

THIS 'back-yard' bodyshop has put cars in Harah's Auction House, the DuPont Calender, Street Scene Magazine, Bonniville record books and now , 'flirting' with Unique Whips??

Hell, We might have to 'pimp' something for MTV!!

Life is GOOD!!!

Now I just have to make the INSIDE look as good as the OUTSIDE! Good thing I've got a whole 3-1/2 days to get it all done!
