Right! Jeff, would you believe she turned out to be one of my army buddies sister! We had no clue when we first met so we went out a couple times in December, then just stopped talking and both thought we were done. I figured no big deal, she is way out of my league, and never even got her last name. Then on my buddy's birthday a picture runs across my FB feed with her and Ed, that said "Happy Birthday to my little brother!"!!! My first words were "Oh 40RK NO!" So I sent her a message and right away she answered back, and we've been at it ever since!
There is a big change coming to the Rat! Plan is next summer... Both of us work tomorrow, and it's the middle of March so the car dealership she works at is slammed (like all of them) so they keep her late. Sucks, but I still get to have fun with her on the weekend!
Back on track: I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get that dash closer to done this weekend or not... Somebody decided to change the plan for the graphics, so I haven't even got them to Artistic Reflection so they can be cut yet. And it snowed today, so things have to warm back up... Maybe I'll be able to shoot the Olive Green, but who knows.
Got the green done! The color is Commando Green from Jeep... A lot of it will be coming back off, so don't worry it's not done! Still have to get the graphics cut and painted on, then I can start aging it back down into the plate steel. Yes I used the green as a candy by reducing it to a semi-transparent with clearcoat...
I had a Zippo engraved like that in the late 60's. I spelled it D.I.L.L.I.R.G.A.F though. Everyone had an engraved Zippo back then.
