Hi guys. I was just on a short trip up to Alabama and on my way back saw a cool car.
I was on the roughest damn road in Alabama at the time, so sorry if they turn out fuzzy.
I thought this was really cool, cause I was out in the middle of B.F.E. at the time.

Is that just black primer? That looks awesome!

Black Sabbath is looking good!

Thanks guys! It is dupli-color acrylic flat black paint--29 cans worth--
I did this for one reason really---the look notwithstanding--but my painter told me that it is an excellent base for him to start with--that is a couple of years down the road when I can afford to have it done right---
But I like it too--got a little wet sanding with 1500 to do yet, but it is coming along--
Cool thing is--when I originally painted it, it had the traditional blotches associated with bean can--but after three weeks of cure--they all vanished!! I just did the hood two days ago--so it has awhile of curing left on it--it was an unexpected surprise!

Aparently so did he!!
Pretty cool, considering 9 out of 10 times when I compliment someone on their car while driving all I get is a nod.

But primer is NOT waterproof, mostly, and it'll rust right through. The Cap'n

I bet he would like Sabbath too, seems to be into the "redneck rear" look! High and dry baby,ass gas or grass nobody rides for free, WOOOOHHOOOOOOOOO 
You given any thought into some old school pinstriping on Sabbath? That would be tight! Big pinstriped skull on the hood, maybe a couple of scrolls coming from the turn signal towards the windshield.

Nah a real red-neck look is a chrome cow catcher on the front and fake bulls balls hanging under the back bumper

You think the 356 was a real carrera?
Black sabath looks nice. I want a satin finish on my lightweight (when I finally find a car dammit).

The hell with the car. How about more and bigger pics of the avatar?
Cheers, Elliot

Been posted before Elliot.....
BTW...not a Carrera....looks like a crappy 64-65 "C" model. No 356 Carrera would have that cheesy sticker on the side...

NOPE just a C model with some BAD body werk. Check the drivers door on the panel and all of the edges

Youre right. A Carrera wannabe.

I must agree. Its been my experience that primer actually draws moisture if not painted in a timely manner, and will accelerate rust.

Dude, if you like 356's and other cool antique stuff (they even has a 914 last year) you have got to go to the car show in Mt. Dora 
(FL, of course) last year they had one in April and it was really sweet. The show taks up the whole town and there is a huge selection of early 911s and 356s (with concours restorations of course).
Sweet 356, thought I agree that the badge is kinda tasteless. 
Your teener looks good, 
but you gotta get it painted because as others said primer doesn't protect cars very well.

I had a friend in high-school that had a flat-black 60s Camaro. Had sweet red and white pin-stripes. It wasn't primer, but the flat-black was really cool...

To hell with primer...I need a new fish'in partner like that. 
Posted by: mack914 Apr 8 2005, 05:56 AM

What are you talking about??? I have stared at this picture for two hours now and STILL don't see any fish! Am I missing something???

The one on the right is bigger. 205 on the left vs 225 on the right.

"The one on the right is bigger. 205 on the left vs 225 on the right. "
Great response! I've always felt that "Tits are like Tires" . . . both require two or three different measurements in order to determine the true size.

I once went out with a girl that had one "C" and one "B". I liked the "C" better...
OR, was that car a 356SC ????

Two lobsters. This one happened to arrive this week via the e-mail joke circuit.
With the following caption:
This is much more fun that that old picture where you tried to find the man's face in a bunch of coffee beans. Ever so often a clever picture comes along that camouflages something for us to find. This is one such picture. Hidden within this picture, I am told, are two lobsters. Go ahead and try to find them. If you find the lobsters within 30 minutes, the left side of your brain is normal. Adam looked for 45 minutes and didn't see them. I guess his brain is abnormal.....
