here is a sneek peak at my new Street Pro, called Snake Eyes.
not painted yet, the taper off stripe will be red with black on either side and black and red fenders. yes, those are real dice on it, that was hard, i shaved them on my band saw. they will be cleared over right where they are now.
figured i would show ya all the front as most will only see the back......

how are the fenders attached? Epoxy or wood glue? And are those the DD4H fenders or homemade?

they are epoxied in place , they are the DD4H fenders, and they are VERY nice.

well, the blue went on nice till i lifted the paper for the red stripe, and saw it had bled through !! not what i wanted to see. it still looks cool, but not what i wanted at all. kinda disappointed in the whole thing. so it better be fast cause its not very pretty.
i will post the pics in a half hour or so. then to top that off, i set the shaved dice on the desk last night and when ready for them i just grabbed them and and dropped them in place, and guess what?????
i forgot to wipe them down ! i think i fixed it well enough, but wont know till the clear dries.
 
here are the pics of Snake-Eyes.
first is before any paint, just the mask for the stripe and the flame template with some tungstin to hold it down.

next is after the blue , things are still looking good at this point,

next is when took a dump...the blue bled through the mask and the template moved just a bit. hard to see it, but the mask area is LIGHTLY smudged with the blue, not much but enough to erk me.

at this point i just about did not care how it turned out, so i missed a few pics, here is the red and the dice already on.
