just done a little photoshop.........
i know i have just finished ainting it but i have just found a fresh tin of blackboard paint in the garage and really think this would suite the 'rat-rod'look more,
what you all think? keep it green.....or do it black (again with pinstriping and metallic red/lace roof)
brad (edit......also thinking some sort of pinstripe desing on the bonnet or on the side...?also remember it has different wheels on it now...)
think i may have got addicted to painting my car... :doh :doh
