got home at 5 yesterday and had this done by 1:30 in the morning. i hurried on the back tear part because its going to be 6 inches from the wall anyway, i just wanted to try some quick minitruck style graphic. there is a seam down the middle so it was a biatch to pinstripe. i ran out of green so i have to go back and stripe the charcoal graphic before the final clear. the cloud thing didnt work right so i'm going to delete it probably. tonight i sanded it down with 600 and tomorrow hopefully i can start the pinup girl on the front if i can find a place to blow up a picture for me. let me know what yall think. i dont know why i'm wasting my time, its never leaving my shop and its going to get covered in overspray next week hahaha.

i didnt even do the drop shadows on the rip because the clouds wouldnt work and it was getting late. would've been cool to have a tear with heaven/hell or something like that. i'll save that idea for the Millermatic

Looking good. I told some of the guys I work with about a year ago
when I started on my truck that it would be neat to see a truck painted to
resemble a b29 bomber with the rivets holding the different size of metal
skin and with a pin up girl on each front fender. Be sure to post new pics
when you finish it. I sure do envy you guys with the talent to do this type
of painting and art work.

this is what's going on the front. I'll prob put an Iwats paint gun in her hand and make the hose wrap around the whole tank, maybe through the rear graphix. i figure it'll take me 3 weeks of 10-15 hours a week to do the girl, i'll post some progress when i get started saturday. i'll prob put a logo on the front too to make it look more like a plane pinup girl type thing, so i need to get around to drawing up a logo.

You mean like this? It even has a real P-51 Mustang engine in it!

Yo - X - If you ever get up in my neck of the woods, I got a lot of stuff I would like you to do !!! My compressor looks like crap now and I'll never like it again. I'm guessin you've ruined a lot of us. Sure do like your imagination !

screw doing this without a projector. i hate drawing and cutting transmask. i'm tempted to wipe what i've done so far off and wait till i get a projector to finish it. pain in my ass. anyway, here it is after a few hours. the colors are off but i dont know if i'm going to bother to fix it. i might make some truefire come from the bottom so i dont have to do the friggin shoes. i have alot of work left prob going to try and finish the legs/stomach/arms tomorrow so i can start on the face and hair. prob going to save the white clothes for last, then add a hose in her hand with a paint gun attched to it. i wish i wouldnt have started this on this compressor, i should've painted it on my hood so atleast it will advertise.
