    Check out the custom paint by Blue Moon Kustoms on one of our Model T tanks. An amazing job, lots of metallic effects - you can't believe how nice the paint is. (It's for sale)

    No, these are by Wayne Saunders, from Birmingham England, worked for years as a painter in the automotive concept car field, saw a flamed fish in Rodders journal, and was unable to get the guy to commit.. So he designed his own, made the molds etc... He has opened a Hotrod paint and body shop in Colorado called Alternative Automotive Design and is doing quite well, the fish are a sideline but cool as hell!!!! He also does woodgrain and did the rust patina on my 53 Poncho.. here are a couple pics of his latest. Hes from the same area as Steve from Limeworks..

    Those are drawer or cabinet knobs. It is an old custom trick.
    Check out Aaron Grotes custom bubble top. the grill in that is also cabinet knobs.

    So go to your local home improvement or hardware store and buy enough chrome cabinet knobs to fill your grill area. You will probably need some metal screened mesh to fill your grill area as well. ;)

    I thought that was probably it but it seemed too easy!

    Kinda feel stupid (but on my way to the hardware store).

    Thanks
