Well, my dad is into hot rods, so im familiar with the work, but im not a rabid fan- enough to recognize a similarity, and thats about it. If you go too much into it, it might look like a rip-off, and i want to keep this original to you (or us).. but as you add more to the design, there wont be as much attention on this one piece here, so keep going with you original thread so fer and see what turns up.
