Now there is clearly a trend developing for late '50s - early '60s styles. I'm starting to see more "heavy customs" with metalflake, panel paint, and "rat fink" style illustrations.

Are any of you doing this, or do you have pictures?
Just did a 1978 Dodge Camper special (cab only) in orange metalflake. Literally, I finished shooting it around 6pm this evening. Heavy, heavy metalflake, will take a picture of it in the am when I get back to the shop and post it then.

Have a 42 Chevy sedan in that I'm going to shoot with a Sherwin Williams 2 part black epoxy primer some time on Wednesday or Thursday...No top coat, just the 2 part primer, again I'll take a picture of it then....
