Lefty, any more thoughts to the exterior finish? I am curently dabbling with the idea of a faux paint finish on my TT. Maybe make it to resemble an older wood building. Preliminary experiments proved this to be not that hard to do, I just used a pocket comb and my eye to spread some gel stain over a solid base color (all of this on aluminum panel). The result was not that bad but with a proper faux graining tool, it could be very close to the metallic wood grained panels on an older car.
Yeah, 40's and 50's Chevy pickups were cute but I found the 216 and 235 ci. engines not that freeway capable. If a guy was just to go short distance or off-roading, there wouldn't be a worry.
