Spent some more time shaping and shrinking. Still needs a bit more work, just trying to find time is the problem.

Re: 1953 Chevrolet Truck Aka the money pit

looks good. just takes practice. def an art to it. I had 25 hrs in a rear fender with a hard patch and tons of hammer dolly and shootin epoxy. this was years ago. It was overwhelming with my schedule thinking how can I do a whole truck like this! Still haven't pursued that one but did some other patina builds. Needless to say proper metal work isn't for the faint of heart. Getting it close and using filler is fine. I wanted that "no filler" effect which is just not realistic for the most part. Keep at it and you'll start cutting that time down.
