Damn Notch, can you paint my Driver & Woods like that....

Thanks Haole'akamai , Hipipahula
And to paint wood grain would be simple but then that's when the
time make it look right comes in... Lot's of hours...

You got's lots of fun tools there Notch man!...Are you building those frames too? That old fire truck there RAWKS!

Though not what I do for a living, I helped put this bad boy together last year for my boss. If it were my money, I would have brought a second house instead...still, it was a fun project to be a part of. I envy your job :)

Good to see ya posted the pics Notch. Lookin good!

Thanks to all fer dig in my TikiBar, but were not done yet..
It would be great to have my shop to be a stop for the next Tiki Crawl and if that comes true,
it will be ready for all.. Cheers
Now here is a picture of my buddy Steve Sellers shoe box that I painted years ago..
it took 15 hours to tape the flame job on it, and allot of beers

I drool.

Notch,
That is the coolest shop anywhere.
I'm sure the Tiki bar will be the final nail in the coffin for closing those car deals/commissions.

Thanks JT , Unga Bunga
Now that the bar is up and running at the shop , all of my customers that stop by want me to do a Tiki Bar Build out for them! I just laugh and say , lets finish the cars first...

Fuccin' Sweeeeeeet.....I need to get my roof laced and finished! the roof is already metalflaked, and has about 90% coverage over a HOK silver basecoat. I have the lace pattern waiting, and just need to pick up the candy cobalt blue, and some clear! The lace pattern is hibiscus flowers. I want to get two panels on the top, and a panel on each of the sides of the roof. And instead of fineline borders, I'm making a reverse template to replicate a bamboo border to frame in the lace job on the roof sides where the lincoln emblems go. All done in HOK cobalt blue. I just need to find a shop nearby to giterdone! :lol:

I was there this past Tuesday.
simply Amazing.
Thanks for letting us stop by Notch.
appreciate that a lot.

Jeff(bigtikidude)

Looking forward to seeing the finished product. I'm sure it's gonna rock.
I won't be Robin, but if you could order me some Wolverine chest hair that
would be perfect, bub.

Notch, I really dig your art man, sorry it took so long to get here.
Your shop and tiki bar are sweeeet! I was so bummed I couldnt get down to FI
for one of your Tiki Crawl moai mugs. Everything you do is gold man.
I got to sit in a batmobile at a car show when I was 12, I was on cloud 9.
Cant wait to see more pics. Rock on. MP

batmobile is looking sweeeeeet!!!!!!

Notch- I'm hoping the invitation to come see your shop and tiki bar is still open while AceyTiki and I are headed to Tiki Oasis on our tiki road trip. Let me know. :)

batmobile looks like a cool project I can't wait to see the finished product!
This may be a stupid question, but did Big Daddy Roth do the original one?
is that your work space? What's up with the M183 cargo trucks and (what looks like) sherman tanks? Those yours too? You gonna rod 'em out????

that would be george barris, jim. he also made my fave: the munster's koach. do i win a prize?
