Hey Tim, would you consider doing a drawing of say, a GT/CS to frame? I`d like to have one of my car (Highland Green) to hang on my wall. I like all the planes and trains you do. What would that cost?

...Down the road, I'd be honored to do that for you Rhonda! Framed originals & prints are what I enjoy best. Right now I'm working to get better at cars however, which I'm finding are alot more difficult because they're more like 'painted mirrors' as compared to rusty locomotives and weathered airframes ;-)

As for the cost - well... Hmm... If we agreed that I made yours look like 'a million bucks' I'll only charge you half price. What'ya think??

So yours is Highland Green? ...Very cool! I just took delivery of a HG 390 4v. So far, I can't bring myself to park it for the remainder of winter :-O

oh, gosh no! Do the shirts!

I appreciate the regards for me and my work--but go fo it!

Paul N.

...Here's the first of numerous concepts I'm playing with. This is very preliminary and coloring the cars is still the holdup. The cars are not detailed yet either, but I thought I'd toss this out there to let you know I'm workin' on it.

Generic this is, but we'll be able to do your individual colors and rims as I progress. please feel free to give me your ideas.

Looks good to me, especially since my car is white with red.

Tim and Steve

They must have run out of Acapulco Blue when they painted your cars. (ha, ha)

Paul

Can't get me fired up Paul. Sorry. My 69 Fairlane convertible is Acapulco Blue and I think it's a great color.:grin:

Good. I am glad you wouldn't let someone rattle your cage alittle. As you both know, I think all the colors are very, very cool!!

You're probably right Paul. I'm already getting low on Blue ink!!

Tim, the pic looks great so far. I know you`re still working on it but I wanted to mention that it still needs an antenna and the vent holes under the windshield wipers. The front of the hood looks a little off. Right above the grille. I`m sure a little different shading might help. I`m not an artist by any means and I don`t mean to insult your work in any way. I just want to help by giving you my opinion, k? :smile:

...Yep, still workin' on it Rhonda. Getting the colors down (in between real job) where I get proficient to be able to do all requests.

So... antenna, hood grilles, order a new hood... What engine should it have?? Geeze - this is turning into an all out restoration! 'Hope I can find the parts ;-)

nope, hood scoop (similar to the 69 hood scoop). shakers are for 69 and up cars.

Hmm... Perhaps before for printing, I should put out a catalog of options to include hood scoops, spoilers, vinyl tops, wheels & on & on... Then only produce 4118 shirts total over a half-year period. ...This is too funny ;-)
