I've always wanted to do a nose art piece but an authentic aluminum skin from an old warplane was outrageously expensive. So again, I turned to Craigslist and found a fender from a late 60's Chevy Pickup. The seller also had a matching tailgate (which you'll see in another project) so I took them both. The hornet is Alameda High School's mascot while the machine gun is a tribute to the USS Hornet.
Under my brother's art direction, I later modified the hornet to make stickers for my niece's softball team. Go Jackets!
