It may take a while, but a journey of a million miles etc. etc. Wish me luck!

That's just too damn sexy as is!

Personally, I would just build it up and rock out

Nah, it's a crime against nature as it is with all that grain on show. Mustangs were born to be covered up!

clear guard + neck/electronics = rock

Looks badass as is. Can't fake that kind of funk, if you want a purdy shiny black stang, you could always buy a cij

I used blackboard paint, by the way. The spunky-looking stuff is some Beeswax Balsam I impulse-bought from Ikea years ago.

I really do hope you're going to make use of the blackboard paint and occasionally draw on it with chalk.
