Haha ! Kamel Toeing !
I did this '72 Chevy wrecker for a guy that is using it for a promotional thing for his "toeing" company that doesn't exist. He copyrighted the name and bought the domain name, and is going to be using it to sell t-shirts. I gave him a slogan the other day to use....."Support Your Local Hooker". He wanted it to look like it had been on there a long time, so I took some of the paint back off after I painted it on, and when I go back out to his place to do some more work on it, I'm going to hit the letters with some Scotchbrite to take the gloss off of them.
This is a bike that James Crawford had done some work on, and the owner had some new paint work done to the bike and couldn't get a hold of Mr. Crawford. Well, he passed away last year, so he found me. I separated the two colors with a tan line, and did a little striping on top of the headlight as kind of a tribute to James. He always used the little teardrops coming off of each other. There were some other places I separated the colors, but they were small, so I won't post the pictures.
And here's an SSR I flamed for a guy. He had some striping on it before but when he had the hood louvered they took all the paint off, so he had it re-painted and got my number from a friend of mine that does dealership, two-lines-down-the-sides kind of work. He wasn't sure if he wanted a pinstripe design on it again, or if he wanted flames. I took out my fine line blue tape and started laying out flames just to give him an idea of what it would look like and he loved it. So, I pulled all the tape back off, drew the flames on with a pencil where I wanted them and how I wanted them to look, and started painting. Dude LOVED it ! Some of the pictures are with the flash and some are without. The two colors on the body were previously striped in purple, so I had to use the same color to do the flames.
