“Ugly as sin”. The handy work of a friend who came over the other night. He’s not happy with how it turned out, but it’s not bad considering it was around midnight when he did it, and was about 6 PBRs deep.————————————- ———————————— ———————————- ———- #ford #modela #model_a #hotrod #ratrod #car #chevy #project #rust #rusty #patina #metal #iphonesia #iphoneonly #jj #jj_forum #iger #1928 #28 #classic #coupe #convertible #igerssandiego #igerscalifornia #california_igers #pinstriping #sandiego #elcajon #california

Project 1: complete. #epoxy coated the #garage floor. #rustoleum #epoxyshield in a lovely battleship grey. Once it cures I’ll be able to start filling this baby up. I think Bettie is gonna like it here.————————————- ———————————— ———————————- ———- #ford #modela #model_a #hotrod #ratrod #car #chevy #project #rust #rusty #patina #metal #iphonesia #iphoneonly #jj #jj_forum #iger #1928 #28 #classic #coupe #convertible #sport #igerssandiego #newhouse #shop
The #purplebaron and I went #offroading in Bettie, then hiking. Fun but bumpy. I would have post the car a little better but we had to be quick in case another car came along. ———————————————— ———————————————— #ford #modela #model_a #hotrod #ratrod #car #chevy #project #rust #rusty #patina #metal #iphonesia #iphoneonly #jj #jj_forum #iger #1928 #28 #classic #coupe #convertible #sport #igerssandiego #poway #dirtroad #daughter #daddydaughtertime

An old pic I posted here that someone recently liked and reminded me of. I likes it. A #rusty #star on Bettie before I foolishly decided to strip the paint and prime it. Biggest mistake I’ve made. ———————————————- ———————————————- #ford #modela #model_a #hotrod #ratrod #car #chevy #project #rust #rusty #patina #metal #iphonesia #iphoneonly #jj #jj_forum #iger #1928 #28 #classic #coupe #convertible #sport #igerssandiego #macro #closeup #microscope #macro_magic #macrooftheday #igers #iger #instahub #instagood #instagramhub
Oh, here we go. I forgot I took this. This #ratrod #cadillac I saw cruising #poway road the other day. I know the guy who owns it but I cannot remember his name. But it’s a cool car nonetheless. So we’ll make this my 6th pic for the #5shotchallenge. ————————————————- ———————————————— #sunset #sky #classic #coupe #leadsled #iphonesia #iphoneonly #jj #jj_forum #weird #Photooftheday #imageoftheday #mobilephotography #igers #iger #instahub #instagood #instagramhub #igerssandiego #sandiego #california
I missed a step here but, as I couldn’t dig up my old pics or find any cool cars in my errand running today I’m using this as my second of 5 for the #5shotchallenge ————————————— ———————————— ———————————- ———- #ford #modela #model_a #hotrod #ratrod #car #chevy #project #rust #rusty #patina #metal #iphonesia #iphoneonly #jj #jj_forum #iger #1928 #28 #classic #coupe #convertible #sport #igerssandiego #welding #welder
This is what it looks like when you drive in a car with no top on a below #freezing night. I hate being #cold, but this was pretty fun. Flying past people on the #freeway and them looking at you like you’re #crazy, which you may very well be. ————————————- ———————————— ———————————- ———- #ford #modela #model_a #hotrod #ratrod #car #chevy #project #rust #rusty #patina #metal #iphonesia #iphoneonly #jj #jj_forum #iger #1928 #28 #classic #coupe #convertible #sport #igerssandiego #frozen #california #sandiego #crazyperson
My little #mechanic helping me out. I had to use a cut off wheel for a little bit so she went and worked on our other car. Too #cute to not take a pic. Love it when she helps me. —————————————————- ————————————————— #daughter #daddydaughtertime #fun #ford #modela #model_a #hotrod #ratrod #car #chevy #project #rust #rusty #patina #metal #iphonesia #iphoneonly #jj #jj_forum #iger #1928 #28 #classic #coupe #igerssandiego #sandiego #poway

This is how I’m spending my #apocalypse, working on Bettie. Starting some of my #sheetmetal work which I have a tiny bit of experience in. So we’ll see how this goes. This is the toughest one I hope. The body line in the rear corner. ———————————— ———————————— ———————————- ———- #ford #modela #model_a #hotrod #ratrod #car #chevy #project #rust #rusty #patina #metal #iphonesia #iphoneonly #jj #jj_forum #iger #1928 #28 #classic #coupe #convertible #sport #igerssandiego #welding #welder

Using a #blowtorch to adjust the arch of my rumble seat deck lid. Hoping to have this baby finished after I go #vote today. Woooo!!! GO VOTE!!! I hope you all read up on your local elections, where you can really make a difference. ————————————- ———————————— ———————————- ———- #ford #modela #model_a #hotrod #ratrod #car #chevy #project #rust #rusty #patina #metal #iphonesia #iphoneonly #jj #jj_forum #iger #1928 #28 #classic #coupe #convertible #sport #igerssandiego #sandiego #poway #california
I rolled some beads into the back back floor Pam of Bettie yesterday, then welded it back in. The NOS part my buddy sold me won’t work with the new rear end portion of the frame. So I now have more extra pieces to try and sell later. Today before class I get to play with fire and try to arch my rumble seat deck lid more to get it to fit on one side.—————————————- ———————————— ———————————- ———- #ford #modela #model_a #hotrod #ratrod #car #chevy #project #rust #rusty #patina #metal #iphonesia #iphoneonly #jj #jj_forum #iger #1928 #28 #classic #coupe #convertible #sport #igerssandiego #welding #welder #sandiego #poway
