Default Finally got my engine covers done

What's up guys,
I know that I haven't been on the site for awhile. I've been getting some emails from the some of the guys asking where have I've been and how I'm doing. Well, I've been working alot with renovations at one of the Casino's downtown in Vegas. But I've still been airbrushing and spending time working on my engine covers and other projects for other people too. I finally got my covers done, and it took a couple of months because I only spend about 4 hours per week working on them. I sanded down all the lettering and grooves down smooth on the top cover and got a cap from lowes to hide the hole. Man, was sanding those down and bondo them was a bitch, but well worth it. I'm still working on all my other engine parts right now, and can't show those just yet because they are not done. I also made a fire station sign for our local fire station, and delivered it to them last weekend. They about fell over when they finally got to see it. There was about 15 fireman all standing around the sign all in awe! I felt really good inside and had goose bumps knowing they all were so excited. Anyway, enjoy the pictures. I took some pics before and after clear coat. I have to wait a few days to install them, but I'll post some up when they installed next weekend. Hope theres not to many pics.

Terry

Yes, I airbrush for a hobby. These are all done by hand. I cut and made my own stencils. Some of the cutting on the fire sign was very intense, because they are so small. I use to paint ghost flames on cars and trucks. Now I just airbrush in my spare time.
Thanks,
Terry
