Holy (i can't say it on this site)!!! That is amazing. Another vote for a tutorial.

Man those are too cool. Can we get a tutorial on how you did that. I can't imagine how that's done with a bead roller! Great work!

Need to take a couple and use then for your floor pans or on the inside of the doors.

Very Cool!!!

makes me want the baileigh bead roller i ordered to get here now lol

Thanks, all.... paitience and determination are the key ingredients. I used my homemade beadroller, with step rollers I made, it has an 18" throat, so its theoretically possible [S to reach the center of a 36" panel, though when turning, the panel corners interfere, so there is a lot of back and forth rolling required. Also some of the details are hammered in with various tools, and some cleanup hammering was done to repair some of the overlapping lines. The Rodbenders one is a tailgate skin I did for a guy in MI

Very cool! I have used a bead roller a few times and I can appreciate how difficult that was to do, great work!

What gauge/type material are you using? I assume that is some pretty thin and soft stuff to pull those details off like that?

That is bad to the bone !

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!! I really like the rodbenders panel...

Very cool artwork there.

I like them all.

Totaly Awsom and innovative ...cant belive the creativity that some people come up with .....keep em commin and I aggree tutorial needed...Den

Here's a few more, plus the tailgate I did on my 28 Hennway.

Haven't heard of the Hennway for a long time, are they still about 6 1/2 lbs?

Very cool!

Heh, Heh, it depends on the breed.........

Ok, first of those panels are really cool,very nice work.I imagine there would be lots of areas to incorporate that kind of artwork in a car.What I cant figure out is how you can get bored,with all those cool cars and trucks you build and working ,you must be up 24 hours a day.
