The darn thing looked great at 10 feet, but you couldn't read it from the stands, where it matters the most...So, I've been wanting to re-letter it ever since. Well, after 2 years it was time for a new look. The theme for the sides of the truck are based on the airbrushing that I had put on the hood back when we lettered the sides.
The nasty green flames started out to be a ghostly white vapor trail, but after Eric and my wife seen the concept on the practice piece, they both said it needed more. So that's how the wicked flames came about...I gotta say, it was the right choice.
I used Planet Color's candy green and yellow for the wicked sick flames rolling down the bed sides. Everything is airbrushed with my Badger Renegade Velocity airbrush. The smooth action and fine quality of the Renegade airbrush made the 20+ hours of airbrushing real easy on the hands. And after this project, I was ready for a break...
Restoration House Collision Center out of East Alton Illinois, is the body shop that has provided a fantastic base for me to work on and also the clear coat. Great quality work from a shop that specializes in collector car restoration.I'm looking forward to seeing this truck on the track down at Big Rivers Sand Drags in Bonne Terre, Missouri. The best sand drags in the Midwest...This will be a crowd pleaser for sure.
I'll post updates as soon as the truck is back and race ready...have a great day.
