Here's a couple of pix of stuff that I'm working on and one of a dragster I lettered back in the late 1960's.
The rifle stock for a bench rest rifle chambered for .308 Winchester.The stock alone weighs 25 lbs! The whole gun with bench rest attached weighs nearly a hundred lbs. The surface was done in rattle can stone paint to provide a non-slip grip and was extremely difficult to paint on.

The air cleaner is an original 50's era Cadillac that is going on a 40 Ford coupe.

The dragster was lettered right after I got out of the Navy in 1967.A friend of mine posted the picture on a web site and I recognized the lettering.I had forgotten about painting it.My lettering skills have vastly improved since then(lol).

Last is a picture of a Model A roadster pickup I striped about the same time.I wish I had pics of the underside as everything underneath was striped as well.Done before the body was installed.I can't believe the red striping has lasted this long.This pic was taken about a year ago.

EDIT:The pic of the dragster is a BMP so it won't load.I'll have to figure out how to change it to a JPEG

K7K, if you're working with Windows, open the picture, in the menu at top of page choose "open", choose "paint", choose "save as" and from the drop-down choose the format you desire.
