HOW'S THIS FOR A RATTLECAN PAINT JOB...

Sunday was spent at the HQ working on Seamus's 49 Chrysler. It was hands-on and we all did our part to help Seamus get his car painted "Rattle Can" Style till he decides what he wants to do in the future with his LeadSled.

17 cans of Flat Black below the belt line and the roof will be getting a "MOSS GREEN" paint job.
Hopefully we'll get a few more than just 1 shot of the roof while its being painted.

WHERE IT ALL STARTED

In 2010 while drinking a few beer at the bar we all drank at "THE BROOKLYN ALEHOUSE" we were shooting the shit and one of our friends was so FUCKEN DRUNK and being a complete ASS that I looked at him and said "You are one GRUMPY BASTARD" so from that day on we decided that our crew would be called GRUMPY BASTARDS. It was more like a name for our Tuesday night hang-out which at the time there was only two people in our circle who had Leadsleds, over a few more beers we talked about a number of us at our DRINKING NIGHT getting Hot Rods and Sleds so slowly but surely it became what it is today...a bunch of dudes with Leadsleds & Hot Rods who enjoy each others company and drink beer.
