One is on an older HD, with a 'scalloped'/indented tank, the 'lace' is in the 'scallop', base color is 66 HD 'burnt orange', lace is snow white.
The other??? On the Ol' Man's work truck. Hey, GOTTA use whatever 'canvas' is available.
That's too cool for school Daddy-o!

I remember that I was so happy with myself the first time I shot a lace job, man that was more then a few years ago .
