Cerus-ly quitting my day job!!

[Bc'z]

Congrats Brett, there is nothing quite like being your own boss, and working on things you are truly passionate about. Best decision I ever made, and I have no doubt it will be for you as well! Good luck my friend here's to your new found freedom!
Paul

Thank you Paul as well as everyone else for thier support and encouragement.
Got a package coming your way Monday I'm looking forward to sporting your work on another rifle.

Congrats. But I do pity those old VW busses you were working on a while back. Who will finish those or are they done and gone?

Congrats on the life change Brett! I walked away from collision work in 2013 and haven't regretted that decision a single day since. Cheers!

Thank you, the busses are cool for sure, I'd do another one if they're willing to pay, it got to the point of always wanting more for less pay so we parted ways. My nephews 61 11 window was the last one, its turning heads down in Scottsdale AZ.

Phil congratulations to you for getting out sooner. Lol
It's gotten to the point where I receive zero satisfaction/gratification fixing wrecked cars i guess it lost its joy a while ago.
I truly enjoy the stocks as each 1 is like doing a mini show piece.
I'll be going back east and grabbing a 68 Chevy Suburban for body and paint.
Frame, motor, suspension and brakes along with metal work will be done when I pick it up and drive it back for a really sweet paint job.
Only doing the "COOL" stuff here on out!!

Were any of your VWs in this weeks Barret Jackson auction in Wesst Palm Beach? I saw a 70ish Toyota Land Cruser P/U with a diesel that i wanted so bad I could hardly stand it, went for over 60thousand.

Congratulations Brett, I am glad to see you finally decided to take the leap!! I hope it exceeds your expectations and you never look back. Now let me go get some stocks boxed up........ lol

Congratulations Sir Brett,
You’re a mad ninja with crazy skills. I heard a couple backup barrels arguing again the other day. My wife was like what the hell was that, I explained to her the painting node, every time I get that Bc’z painted stock out the barrels get into an argument on who gets to shoot next.
Wish you happiness, thanks Jeremy

Jeremy explain to the wife the easiest way to keep the commotion down amongst the barrels is to build another rifle....
Or 2!! Lol

I've got some cool stuff I'll be working on this week
Blue dye and sky blue candy on a maple Xring
Red with black ice crystal
A couple rootbeer candy with pagan gold burst
A 3 layer marble job with Cobalt blue candy
And a black to gold fade foundation for some TruFire flames.
It's gonna be a fun week!!

A 3 layer marble job with Cobalt blue candy. WOW, I see my paint job in that batch. Cannot wait to see that bad boy in the flesh.

 

[JFrank]

I want to see the flame job

 

[BlueWater]

I want to see the flame job

HOK Pavo Purple with faint silvery-Pavo flames. I wonder if that'd work.

Say, something like this ...?

 

[JFrank]

Whatever the man comes up with is good by me.

Save the flames !!

I have very specific detailed instructions on colors to be used and design.
Shooter has a blue TruFire br rifle painted by Mike Lavallee that he wants replicated.
Jason Titus of Sucka Punch will be executing the artwork.

 

[JFrank]

Sounds awesome !

Of course.

I was simply responding to an idea another had considering a neat concept (for his own hypothetical cool rig), with my own imagined hypothetical cool paint job. Wasn't implying you ought to be taking suggestions on alterations of customers' spec'ed jobs.

 

[Elwood]

Good luck Brett.

The good news is I'm doing my level best to keep prices just as they are.
We all know the price of everything has gone through the roof with the new administration, you know build back better off the backs of the middle class.
Paint and packaging has gone up a bit and is included into what I charge.
Everyone can thank UPS for increased shipping charges forcing me to use USPS.
Conversing with Speedy this morning I'm gonna be looking at a wireless Hotspot and Bluetooth printer and set up a UPS account to help curb costs on the shipping.
