Hood Art

I had this old hood from a ‘55 I picked up. It had a lot of rust and didn’t look usable. I washed it down with some Muratic acid. It look just enough rust off to bring out some of the old color. It looked pretty good.

I thought it would make a cool wall hanger with Eugene on it.

Here’s where I ended up. I’ve got rough it up a bit to make it go with the rusty hood. But I think it’ll be cool.

 

Your art skills vastly surpass mine.. That's very cool man, can't wait to see the end!

 

It’s pretty easy to cheat. If you make a grid of the original artwork, and make a grid on the end product, you just transfer the lines in the square.

 

Very cool.

 

I think it is very cool. So few people remember Eugene, and the historic link to Jeeps.

 

^^^^ that's what I wanna do! I'll hafta sneek it past the missus though...

 

All done! Slapped some rattle can clear on her and hung her up. I’m actually thinking about putting it back on a Jeep!
