I am happy and proud to say I still have that . ( proper paint brush and paint help too 🤩 Walt What was most amazing is he was painting the signage in front of a huge crowd of 10,000 at the annual MCACN show. Not sure how he was able to keep his steady hand with all those eyes watching him at one point.

Walt G Posted August 16, 2023 Author Share Posted August 16, 2023 Craig It is easier to paint /letter when no one is around, but if you get focused (if it is relatively quiet) you loose the crowd that is there , you focus so intently on what you are doing they "disappear". And most are so interested to see this they do not talk as they are focused on what you are doing so are thinking about that. Walt 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did the triple pinstriping on all five of my '40 Packard wheels, with perfect spacing every time. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I set up an old box trailer that had the same bolt pattern, so that he could be at a comfortable height. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one with no spare reminds me of WW1 era cars with "torpedo" styling. The upper one - the torpedo is reminiscent of the Nyberg but I don't think it is though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you notice an address with the photo so we can try a google search to see? Also, on this one I can't help but wonder what the plaque on the side of the truck says. I'd be curious if the white overalls are a clue for the type of business it was used for. The range of headwear always amazes me, each having they're own personality. Can anyone ID it from the radiator, grille or hood shape? Edited August 20, 2023 by 30DodgePanel (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
