Mi Rancho Grande painted by Darryl Hollenbeck at Vintage Color Studio, wow.

The 59 Ranch wagon we had about 1200 total hours, with 150-200 in just paint work, door jams, under doors, tailgate, under hood, and yes it was my first panel job, but something I had wanted to try for awhile. I had done some blended job Back in the Acme days for Johnny D & Rick Dore.













Vintage Color Studios has had a website, http://www.vintagecolorstudio.com/ but it isn't working, and I'd rather they focus on awesome paint jobs instead anyway! Looks like their myspace isn't active either: http://www.myspace.com/vintagecolorstudio

Xtreme Restorations from Rhode Island brought the 59 Cadillac, and showed the best use of mixed colors (IMHO)











Go over to their website and be impressed ; http://xtremerestorations.com/

1936 Auburn roadster of Victor Cacho is a beaut












Compare this to James Hetfield's 36 Auburn speedster: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/01/metallicas-lead-singer-james-hetfields.html I like them both, and if you wanted the ultimate, you'd combine them and make one better than wither

Gene Winfield's shop truck (restored)
