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

Von Dutch invented lace painting, Watson perfected it

From Rod and Custom Oct 96, page 125:

One night while laying in bed, his thoughts jumped back 10 years to a long "pow-wow" with the legendary Von Dutch. He had told Watson about the time he lifted up a doily laying on his workbench and the bitchin' design that was left from the overspray in the shop. Dutch liked it so much he cleared over the imprint - and would tell everyone this was his favorite area of the workbench.

bet you didn't know that! Watson used the idea to try something new, it was on Doug Carrey's Grand Prix and won best paint in the '67 L.A. Sports Arena Custom Car Show.
