I love it! The skull does stand out in stark contrast to the subtlety of the rest of the art, but it serves as a nice focal point. A fierce cartoon crow or even Heckle and Jeckle might have kept the theme tighter.



Maybe the shadow of a crow dining on carrion? I do love the body, and the craftsmanship is excellent.

Thanks...

I am going to make stencil kits to sell, and I cant resell that skull due to copyrights on the image, so I will draw up a crow flying (use one of the ones off the hood) and just use it for the roof... Heckle and Jeckle will make a sweet theme in itself!!! I got a new body coming up soon... we are going comic book style for this one!

I'll do my best to "nasty" it up.

It's going on my new KK/MOA rig that I am building.

Thanks Silas

Geez, you guys just make me sick. How do y'all pull off these amazing paint jobs???

Last time I painted a body I could'nt even correctly mask a front bumper and fender flares w/o one color bleeding into the other.

I typically spend an hour prepping, 10 minutes spraying, then 6 to 8 more hours cleaning up the mess I made. 50% of the time I end up with a crappy half-ass paint job, the other 50% I end up chucking an otherwise perfectly good body in the trash.

Last time I specifically purchased real auto-body masking tape made by 3M. Tried to make double-sure I pressed it down tight and did'nt have any wrinkles or anything. And I still had paint bleed through into the areas I was trying not to paint.

That looks absolutely fabulous. Bravo...
