[sunnydog]

A few of ya'll seen the coffin I been workin on, well...time to finish the finish on it.

Here's how it looked prior to start of painting


I used a stencil for my emblem


Then hand painted painted some "dimension" onto them...I know, looks goofy, but wait

[sunnydog]

Also pinstriped the edges


Say hello to my leetle friend...Vars Olsen


Q-tip and elbow grease...


Lotta pissin around but Has the effect of ageing the paint...this is about 1/2 done

[sunnydog]

So follow that up with 400 grit to get rid of staining from paint thinner treatment, and roughs up pinstripe to age it as well


And here's how she looks...hope ya like it...gonna clear with Eastwood two part spray, I really dig the antique look, think ya'll will like it when ya see in person

Did Carlos start a healthy diet Jan 1? I did then got sick 2 weeks later. Screw it going back to sugar and salt.

Tank gonna look ok i think. Besides it only matters how you like it right?

Here's the finished tank, once again Hambone came thru with his great welding skills, he tigged a mooneyes bung into my tank so I could run my Moon Spinner gascap. Then last night I added a bit more pinstripe around the bung, and handpainted a couple touches on the underside as memorials to some rockstars I've enjoyed over the years...

That does have the vintage look.Especially with the Moon spinner.I wasn't aware that the caps were part of his parts creations.It is odd that I've never seen one til yours.
Just yesterday while researchin "vintage" water tank bungs on Google images, there they are.
Guess those memorial of influences were not in my musical appreciation since I don't recognize any of them.

[sunnydog]

They might be Dennman,
The diamond is Scott Weiland of stone temple pilots
The heart the "cocaine cowboy" Glenn Frey
The club "thin white duke"
The ace of spades...

Those are two good ones for sure.

Two more I like are I don't believe a word; and god was never on your side; cause I never believed in God anyway. Prob going to hell now for saying it lol.

Ain't no nice guy was another I liked and even on the radio once in awhile.

Yes there is still hope that I will only rot in the ground.

[Dennman]

The body's just so much dirt.It's the electric energy that runs the dirt that carries on.

Fantastic - I won't have to pay for a nurse to take care of Tanice when I am gone.

She gets a new shoulder on Saturday.

Gin is in the freezer, scotch is in the cupboard. You have the run of the shop....
