Dr. Cranky Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 Love the skull ornament, and the engine is coming along. I am building one like it for the BURLESQUE MERC. Keep it going.
59 Impala Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 Looks great Bryan. I really like the rusting and the interior. I built one awhile back using the Sophisticated Finishes rusting system and it looks somewhat like yours but more rusty. Keep it up and keep on keepin on my friend. Dan
Brendan30 Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 I like those sophisticated finishes, I can't get enough of this site! every time I look I learn something new!

I was checking out your site all last night. All your tutorials have been really helpful and d*mn creative. I have the same pins I wanted to use as a shifter but never thought of painting it like that. BTW that skull hood ornament is killer! Edited May 14, 2012 by JasonFL
