 hammered metal give more life to metal

final result

create some spots in background for more effect and contrast

start the polishing

vmax metal shaping

i like work on motorcycle because its really more fast
than work on car , and  we have no limited  imagination.

usually on vmax we dont have real gas tank,
so for this project i create one

gas tank

this is the back seat of  the motorcycle

the cool vent  on each side of vmax

the front 

big vmax with rear wheels of 300!

Judez pedal car restauration and patina

   yes  again a Judez pedal car model alfa romeo racer....
   i make new trim on hoode side and make new grill and new gas cap.
   all in aluminum, so i create some tools special for the gas cap end the grill.
   i use my pullmax machine for the grill.

   i restore a pedal car its cool but, new paint  brooking the feelings of age!                                                                                                  
   so i try to create a patina for give more  vintage effects

               this was the original front of the car, no bad , no good , but i prefer rebuilt all

                 the nose of the judez completly planishing , for this operation ,
                 there is no place for hammer and dolly 
                 so i cut the front drive system for working more easy

                              i make new trim and new grill with my nibbler pullmax p21

this was the simple tool, i make it with regular wood and use a good press for block it

                                          all the aluminum parts are polished
   

                   yu can see the patina , this look really like a original old paint
