Tony T Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) Hate to say it...but it's too nicely finished! It needs to be more beat up and weathered, in my opinion. They were fighting a battle...no time to shine up stuff...patch it and go! I do still love this! It always amazes me where and how you use what is at hand...low-rider wheels, tank halves, jewels, grebelies...great stuff!
