Looking pretty cool. Definitely continue and keep us posted with the finished project, it looks like you're on the way to a really custom looking cab.

Those pictures are fantastic!
Keep it up and I'm very interested in seeing the final cab!

What paint are you using? I tried this on my first cab using acrylic and although the artwork was fantastic  ;) the finish was bloody awful as the paint wouldnt cover cleanley with a single coat. Personally I wouldn't handpaint a cab again. Airbrushing is a great technique for painting the artwork on your own cab and gives a great finish, especially if sprayed with some clear afterwards. I'd be very interested to see how this one goes. Keep going!!!

I agree.  Airbrushing is the way to go if not high quality print.  See below link for a nice airbrush from a relative on my cab.  Might also give you some ideas for your cab.  Nice work to...
