1956 Austin-Healey


may08 056, originally uploaded by candice quates.

We ran into the owner of this car while I was taking pictures of it.
Said he, "It's a great little car when it starts!" Swooshy.

I would post about Tomato but I don't want to post before Clay about
his own car. Those of you I have on my flickr friends' page can see
pictures of it, though.

goodbye rust monster

hello rust monster
Hello rust monster.

dear rust monster, meet sand
Meet my compressor and sandblasting rig.

yeah, me and spraypaint, not so much
Yes, I know I suck at spraypainting. Hello primer.

this I can do.
On the other hand, I do not suck at bondo and sanding.

slightly less bad painting
Little bit better on the paint here.

happiness.
Done! Goodbye ugly hole in roof!

Next major rust project: taking the ugly cowling off the
hood. And of course, all the much smaller rust holes in
the roof of her.

Some people wander the garden district and take pictures
of houses. I take pictures of cars. More here.
A little digging tells me it is likely around 1950.

ballet flats


we come from france!, originally uploaded by candice quates.

Found some little 'ballerines' while searching for a pair
of sandals. They called out "Candice, we are your shoes,
take us home!'

little plastic army men

I think someone bought some souvenirs at the D-day
museum and went a little crazy with it. They are on a
bunch of doors and gates in the Warehouse District.

testing flickr post!
