    Thanks, Pete, appreciate the compliments. Check this out. This RC30 was part of an auction for a shop that was closing in the South West. The owner had passed away and they were liquidating the assets. Among the hoards of treasures that he had stashed away was this RC30..still in the crate! I saw one of these recently going..unsold..for almost 30 grand on eBay. I'd love to know what this one went for. Talk about a time capsule.





    Still has the cosmolene all over it..wow!

        Larry, I wish it were possible to replicate your work. unfortunately most of us are just mere mortals. a good friend of mine painted this car and I had thought I knew what perfection looked like. at least I did up until now... http://gtcarlot.com/news/photo.php?id=35163241

        absolutely stunning work and I can honestly say it's the best work I've seen.

          Boy, that's really nice of you RB . I've been doing this for a long time, and I still continue to try and get better. I've been very fortunate to've worked with and learned from some highly-skilled painters along the way. That Mustang is beautiful. I can tell from the reflection down the side that it's been done well, not just the paint, but the prep and finish, which is every bit as important. Your friend should be very proud of that work, too.

            Larry, many hours were spent with a long board blocking that one out. worked out of his garage at home and did hvac for a living. He was an amazing painter, at least I thought so...

                Too bad we live so far away from each other, Mindless. I think we could team up and do some pretty cool work together. I would almost paint your bike for free just to be a part of it.

                  Definitely! A shame that all I have over here is lots of trees and snow and no fellow bike builders. Maybe I should relocate? Then again, you're in the middle of nowhere too.
