;) G'day Everyone,
I love the Kustom Kulture scene, and Rockabilly music.
I found this forum searching Hotrod pics, and was amazed at the amount of talent here. I'm not building anything at the moment (Lack of Cash hehehe) but if I was...... it would be a chopped merc !!!
Although I am interested in making my own custom skull shifter knob, and want to cast it from resin. Does anyone know what I should use to mold the skull before I cast it.
Any help on making and painting a shift knob would be muchly appreciated.

Cheers :D

Oye! Welcome aboard! Here's a shift knob I didnt make, but I did paint it...
Sprayed the whole thing black and then light brushed the white to accent the raised edges.

Fish Tank and Skyrodder ! Thanks for the welcome
that shift knob looks really cool, painting that colour over black really works well.. nicely done. Have to remember that trick for next time :D
