'49 F1 RAT Shoptruck

[wendle]

Here's some more info, don't know if this brand is available in the States..?

If anyone is having trouble finding this stuff, try asking for "Penetrol" instead. It is sold under that name in Australia and the US.

It's real good stuff. You can even mix it into primer instead of thinners to make it key into the steel much deeper.

truck is looking good. i have to figure out what i want to paint on the side. i want to make my rat look like a shop truck, just not sure what i am going to do for a name. I still have time to figure it out since i havent found the donor truck.

THAT IS AWESOME!!! Honestly, I'm not even a big fan of stripping. It really adds a whole 'nother dimension to the marbleized paint job.

I know I already commented, but I REALLY like the paint work. That hood is hang in a gallery kind of art work.
