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!

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?

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.
