What do you do to give the gold leaf that patina/stained look?
Flea has been busier than a one-legged man in an ass kickin' contest, and the boat has been sorta on the back burner. He has sold his business and jumping into another venture, and just for the heck of it, because that isn't enough, he is up to his ear in prepping for SEMA...
Oh yeah, he and his wife are moving, the house is for sale and they are gonna build....about 3 hours from where they live now.
I know lots of people were interested in this build and once he gets on it again I will keep after him to post up some pics. This guy is my dear friend, Godfather to one of my sons, so I am biased...but he is an artist beyond what most can comprehend.
But, I appropriated this pic of the boat loaded on the trailer for the move.

He has ordered up parts for the V-Drive, and once he gets the shop up and the house going he will be back on it. He has orders from the High Command to get it done, she wants to drive it again
There is a guy on here that goes by, "shippingguy" you might try him, but I don't know of anyone who would touch that thing with a ten foot pole, let alone load it up and ship it...WTF do you want it in Havazoo...you moving to the dez instead???
