PAINT BY NUMBERS


Dave Prine has been painting cars for a hobby for more than 20 years now.  I finally got a hold of his scrap book and scanned a bunch of old pictures of his past projects. Check out some of the rides

 

Here's Dave's first hotrod, a 1941 Ford Coupe. Dave bought it just after getting out of High School. He had all kinds of grand visions of a custom rod floating in his head. Alas, it spent the next 3 years languishing in his brother-in-laws yard while he tried to save money to resurrect this car. He did eventually get it done, adding a 4-bolt 350 Chevy and a 2-speed Powerglide tranny. This was one of the first cars that Dave painted. 

 

 

Here's a 1965 Chevelle SS. This car had a 396/325 horsepower backed up by a 4-speed.

 

Here's an interesting one Dave painted for his Dad. He thought it was some type of Mercedes replicar. It had a 351 Ford out of an LTD.

 

Here's a 1970 Buick Gran Sport. Dave bought it and then sold it shortly thereafter. This is one car Dave said, "He regrets selling."

 

This is a 1970 Mustang Mach 1 that was equipped with a 351 Cleveland and an automatic. It was vandalized and at that point Dave painted it the Grabber Blue.

 

 

Dave painted this show quality Mach 1

                                                                                    

1969 Shelby GT-350

 

Here's a 1969 Mach 1 that Dave redid as a favor for his Uncle. His Uncle gave it to his Son as a graduation present when he got out of high school. Unfortunately, the car had an early retirement when it was totaled 2 weeks after his nephew received it.
