Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10

...and some overall shots to get the feel for the truck as a whole. The patina is actually very subtle, and much of it doesn't show in pictures. We tried to mimic naturally occurring wear by studying photos of old trucks. I did not want it to look like a 'faux-tina' job, or be too over the top, and I think we got pretty close. I do need to do some more work in the bed area-maybe actually using it like a truck will help accomplish that, though I have a few more tricks up my sleeve...

Also decided, by popular demand, to detail the black stripe on the grill. Letters are next
