curt raitz Posted April 16, 2012 Author Share Posted April 16, 2012 I don't know about that "55" being all one piece right over the door opening... I know Harry... dang, the more I tried to get the decal to "suck into the door gaps" the more the ink dissappeared from the decal. will go back in and try to clean up after it's had a chance to sit awhile and I get inspired again thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curt raitz Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 Went back in and cleaned up the panel lines and flowed a little "black-wash" to accentuate the doors and front bonnet area. lookin' much better... thanx for lookin'...
