samdiego Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 (edited) I stripped the chrome skull shifter to find swirly recycled plastic underneath. I convinced myself that it looked like woodgrain and gave it a coat of rust tinted Detailer. Ill take the shine down with semi gloss. Since it's a t-bucket I thought a nod to Norm Grabowski would make a nice Easter egg. In addition to his rodding contributions, he was a talented woodcarver. His exotic wood skull shifters are pretty pricey Edited July 30, 2022 by samdiego Typos 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samdiego Posted July 30, 2022 Author Share Posted July 30, 2022 (edited) The radiator mascot is a piece of translucent red sprue chucked into a Dremel and shaped with sanding sticks. Scrap styrene fin and a stretched amber sprue flame. Coated with Gundam marker chrome. Edited July 30, 2022 by samdiego Typos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 I like the skull finish and the radiator cap looks great with it. I'm sure Norm would approve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
