Rolling along

The VW Bus dresser is coming along nicely now. I got the windows, wipers and the headlights on! 

It just has a few more steps and a clear coat before I can call it done. 

I put a VW symbol on top just for fun as well. This little baby has come a long way! 

I couldn't find the hood ornament I wanted, so I cut one out of wood and patched and painted it to look like an authentic one. I was happy to get some use out of my Ryobi bandsaw I purchased early this spring. 

After I glued and wood filled the cuts, it painted up nicely. 

Here it is before the windows and the detail striping. I had just clamped the headlights to estimate the location they would be mounted on. 

I sponged on the top logo and then I went back and did the edge in metallic silver as well. 

Here it is before the lights. 

And here it is again after.  I am going to finish with a few more details but this piece doesn't have an owner quite yet. If you are interested it will be $199 for pickup here in Utah.  Please contact me if it's something you would like in your home.
