[QUOTE=C9x]Lessee . . . building a hot rod is showcasing your skills is it not?
I know I don't understand the fake rust look and all, but I do know that I'm not impressed by it.


Personally, I agree. I have spent most of my life trying to make vehicles look better than they were....not worse. It is hard to think outside of that "box" after so many years.

Maybe change is easier for me to accept than some, because I work for others, and often have to become a part of their plan, not mine. Sometimes the challenge is not to do what I think would look best, but to help them to achieve the goal they have in mind.

If left to me, every project would have a unique paint theme, rich color, interesting detail, and a "show finish". Since I am a "hired gun", I always have to remind myself that it is their project, and their money. I just have to decide if I want to be a part of it.
