I just finished this Harley for a customer.I tried to find the thread for ' tell us what you do for a living',but I couldn't .I do custom painting on cars and bikes.With the bike craze going on,it really keeps me busy.By the way,that's me kneeling behind the bike.

Thanks , the green one is a steel flatnose wide body 75 euro carrera, with a mfi 2.7. I have had it for a few years. The Speedster is a tube framed intermeccanica. with a built type 4 VW every day driver in the warm months. I also have a 69 912 with a big bore kit that I use when the weather is not so nice. Plus the 914 , in the avatar, that I like very much. Thats all except for the tr 6 for winter, only car I have with a heater. Shelby

Cool 356...I have a steel one with a 2.2/6 and a partial tube frame. You can see pics in my BLOG.

Shelby, Who is the model in your avatar? I should get someone who looks like that to pose for mine after I paint it.

Very nice paint job by the way.

Yes, I know I like the 356 alot, always like hotrods. I have the same supertrapp on the 912, I also love the cabriolet 911 you have. Great to the beach car. Shelby

Well, since you do paint, I have a couple of cars here to be painted, maybe you could fly out to California and help me with the paint and then model in front of my car for pictures. I like that idea!! I am sure there would be about 50 local guys to come help too if they knew you were going to be here.

Thanks for the compliments,you made this girl feel good.It would be nice to come back home for a visit,but there are probably a lot of good painters out there that could also model by your cars,if you just look!

Shelby,
If'n you like forums, look at www.airbrush.com
I could use another Porsche person there. Say Hi to AirBoston when you peek in.
Nice paint BTW.

Let's see some other work! Got a website?

edit: got pics of the TR too? I learned how to drive in a '75 TR6. The folks still don't know that I used to take it around the neighborhood on my own... at the age or 12 or so.
