Painting the Super Bee Logo

I predict a magazine article on this car in the future, that is if you are interested in such things. Where did you learn to paint like that anyway? Just stunning imo.
 
My friends and family thinks there's a story to be shared, was looking to do something in regards to suicicide prevention at car shows. My Dad unfortunately took his own life, never really was able to have closure due to the pandemic. I learned how to custom paint from former Indy Car driver Herm Johnson, who learned from John Kosmoski "House of Kolor" founder. Herm finished 8th and 9th in the 500. I used to paint Indy and NASCAR helmets for several years then moved on to custom Harley's.

Sorry for your loss, didn't realize it all happened so recently, and how. I think your idea about prevention/awareness is a great idea. Just saw that you are less than 25 miles from me.
 
Amazing car and amazing talent. Hopefully, I'll get to see it in person someday. I'm sorry for your loss, this is a very nice tribute to keep him in your thoughts.
 
Been working my *ss off couple friends came by today and the car is finally back home!

Hoping to get 2-3 weeks of driving in, car has been laid up since last November!
 
You should get some collector plates for that beauty. Pay once and you are done....
 
That was my initial plan to get collector plates, but when I purchased the car last summer no DMV's in the area were open to walk-in registrations due to the pandemic, so ended up doing it at a Harley dealer vs. sending my title thru-the mail. Next year I'll get them
 
Hopefully I can see it at Mopars in the Park in June across the river

WOW = AWESOME
 
Thanks! I appreciate it! Definitely requires sunglasses lol. Miles of tape!
 
This is definitely my style, love it!
 
You should be incredibly proud of yourself. Your dad is with you every step of the way and is forever proud of your accomplishment. The car looks amazing.:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Thank you for the kind words! Only regret is that I didn't do this sooner, it would have been amazing to drop this off at his house and hand him the keys. Maybe would have changed things for him, but just the same I know he's with me. Having the support from this amazing group on this forum/sharing his story and car has been very healing! Glad every enjoys seeing a throw-back tribute to the late sixties early 70's. Can't wait till spring and hit some shows and enjoy the view of the hood from behind the wheel.
 
Here's the motor work he did to his 383 back in 69 at the garage he worked at in high school. I'd really like to replicate my 383 like that next!
