That's some cool stuff.
Totally the reason for this topic.
The paint on the Billy the Kid car reminded me of what we called "torch" paint. Paint the base coat. Get a oxceytleen (spellng) torch burning black and just dust it over the color. Clear coat it to seal it and man did we think it was cool.
I never was too much of a painter as a kid but sure had fun trying to figure out how all of the real painters did it.

I think I have seen Bucky Hess on here once in a while. I would like to read his thoughts or see some of his work regarding this thread.

I wonder if the Chevy II is the old CKC Racing funny car. Only three fastbacks were made they had the most success.
