Re: 66 Buick Skylark - Ruth
I've seen Kyle do this dozens of times now, but it still amazes me how much work he can knock out in such a short period of time. But then again, it might be due to the fact that my Camaro spent 3 years in paint jail.
Still, how many painters can take a week to go to the Grand Canyon and SEMA with the family and then have a car to this point already?

Re: 66 Buick Skylark - Ruth
From what I've observed, the magic is a result of the confluence of talent and hard work. If there was a shortcut, I'd be all over it.

Re: 66 Buick Skylark - Ruth
I got to check out Ruth this evening. It's looking very good. I really like the idea of the original blue color too. This car is going to be super cool when complete.

Re: 66 Buick Skylark - Ruth
Here's a glimpse of how to do some metal repair...
Start with a basic, rotted trunk gutter... Gather up a few tools and some scrap metal... And mix in a dash in Kyle's talent and you get this a couple hours later... Check this pic out of the trunk lid - this is how Glasurit looks after its shot, no sanding, and this is with the guide coat applied afterward. Crazy.

Re: 66 Buick Skylark - Ruth
Looks Great Steve... It is sad, but I am not surprised by anything Kyle does anymore.. He is just a very talented, knowledgeable, hard working individual..
I need to drop by and see Ruth in person soon..

Re: 66 Buick Skylark - Ruth
I'm looking forward to taking Ruth to your cabin and hoisting a few on that new deck of yours. You're making that look pretty easy.

Re: 66 Buick Skylark - Ruth
Sounds Good Steve.. The way Mike is making progress on his maybe he can bring his ride and join us. Heck, maybe Lucy will be ready and we can get Kyle to come hang with us for a little bit too.

Re: 66 Buick Skylark - Ruth
Very nice work on the rust repair. That BASF stuff is as good as it gets (from what I've heard).

Re: 66 Buick Skylark - Ruth
Went to pay a visit to LBR today. Ruth is really shaping up, will be getting some paint starting Monday. She already looks so much better..

Re: 66 Buick Skylark - Ruth
What's not to like about that? Mirror finish and black.... Sure glad you switched from the blue. It would have been nice blue but I think it will be over the top black! More pictures!!!

Re: 66 Buick Skylark - Ruth
Thanks Mark! Kinda reminds me of a certain truck.... Quote:
I sweated the switch from blue. The more time went on, the worse I got. I was undecided between the original blue and navy blue and black. Kyle and Sarah convinced me that black was the way to go. I'm anxious to see how well the blue interior goes with it.

Re: 66 Buick Skylark - Ruth
I'm sure the blue interior will look good with the black paint. Nothing to sweat there.

Re: 66 Buick Skylark - Ruth
Blue interior? Worst case, if it doesn't go, you can always change that, too.
