Oh…And For ALL concerned… “Have Gun -Will Travel” …have gone to many Body shops all over as Color & Graphic Guy…putting the cool stuff on Based solid color Taped up car ‘in the booth”,do my thing and have the shop then do the final clear-coat , and buff it out. Usually takes two work days and I’m gone. Cheaper too! same result

So …What we up to ? Been a year (Can’t Believe it ) since my last “Bus Note” .Well ,since the economy tanked and no one was even calling for Custom Paint Work…No new cars being built and no Re-paints , I decided to shut the Whole Dino’s Custom Paintworks down.about 6 monthes ago. No more Paint prep help. ..Sold the equipment ,and now concentrate on Design,Signs , lettering and new projects . Have all kinds of things on the drawing board ,as I Re-invent the place. Switched the Drag-Graphics site over to Nostalgia store. About Ready to launch Nostalgia Drag Lettering “division” for Nostalgia Cars. Hand Lettering, Air Brush ,Gold Leaf & Pin striping “Old SKOOL style.” Just did a Rat Rod with ‘weathered Lettering …Boss, Man !…..V-Bob …Bring that Willys down here …I buy the Kilbasa!
