That's beautiful man. I restored a 1930 Model A standard roadster about 50 years ago. I know exactly how much work and $$$$ it takes. Great job.

repainting my 2000 gmc truck. I decided to try my hand at vinyl decals. they say to use a professional to install this. I would recommend it.

giving her a muscle car look.

this is with the mask or what it holds it all together.

http://www.bananas.org/gallery/watermark.php?file=63031&size=1
finished. when I paint the rest of the truck, dark red metallic, the edges of the hood will be that color. this is my car hauler and that is a late 70's firebird eagle.
