For all the time spent you could really end up with something that looks obviously fabricated or just butt ugly. The best way if you absolutely want to go that way it to have a professional put a paintjob over the top, maybe a set builder or a real artist from the local art district. I've got some skills but only one Drifter at the moment to screw up, but I love the look, just fearful I can't pull it off myself. Hard to find a really good example of something like that too.

Converting my 2002 Ebony 800 with its shiny chrome front end and engine covers (yuck!) to a more distressed vintage look is my vision.... not sure yet just how to pull it off.
