TRADITIONAL Hops and Gnarly

[Endlesschain]

I have all the parts sanded, cleaned, and strung up in the Delta Frames ready for paint.

After everything was ready to go, I went outside to set up the cones in a shaded area but quickly decided that it was still way too hot to paint. I've got my eye on Saturday for the next chance.

love the spray frame setup never thought of a setup like that, I use the frame from a hanging egg chair which is handy and a good height

To hot to paint? Or too hot to be outside painting? Hotter than the 4th of July over here in OH.

I know all y'all have been suffering in heat for weeks. But a little heat on 4th weekend would be nice. Cancelling fireworks all over up here, got another 1"+ of rain today,highs in the low 60's. We might get 1.5 days out of the 4 day weekend with no rain. We've been averaging temps 10 degreesbelow normal since May 1.

I'll never go back to anything else. So simple, inexpensive, and effective. I think that everyone should own a set!

Both actually. The reducer that I have is not rated for HADES!

We could probably use some rain here and our highest chance of rain is tomorrow. Just in time for an outdoor gig with an Allman Brothers cover band that I play with. (Murphy's Law.)

That’s cool! What do you play?

 

[kingfish254]

I knew you played, but I didn't know you were in an Allman Brothers cover band.

He had been living just outside of Savannah for a good many years when he passed.

@Chad T , I'm a drummer.
@kingfish254 , Sadly, every original ABB member is gone now except for one of the drummers (Jaimo). They were such a great band.

As expected. our gig was canceled due to the weather.

I was able to paint at around 10am this morning while the temperature was still in the low 80s. So even though I'm behind schedule, the paintwork on this phase of the project is done.


I didn't get pictures of the other parts but here's the frame.

Super clean paintjob.
Johnny Cash would be proud.

Johnny was way ahead of the ratrod culture! He started his back in '49.

Super clean paintjob.

Thanks!

Moving to the next step is always hard whenever I do a 'Legacy Restoration'.

Here's the Roadmaster Supreme that I just finished a couple of months ago.

It looked so cool in bare metal.

Then (like today) when I painted it, the fresh shiny paint looked too good to mess with.

But when it was finished, the patina made it worth messing up a perfectly good paint job!

Yessir!
Time for the magic to start!
