Since I couldn't find any "Italian Job" stickers, I made it myself.
What do you think?

Is that black chrome paint?  That is really impressive.  Did you take pictures during the process?  Very cool.

Your do it yourself projects, wheels and graphics, are inspirational - maybe more of us will be motivated to try some things ourselves.   And thanks to Cristina for the pictures!

Thanks, Stefano and Jack.  Actually, I just provided a forum (garage) and Mitch gave the best advice (head to WESCO for materials and the real how-to).

How many coats of each paint did you do, Stefano?

Stefano -- I loved seeing how you lined the wheels before spraying -- that's exactly how we did our wheels on the former Catlvr when we sprayed it with the plasti-dip.  Your wheels look great!

What is on TV these days is a far cry of what was there 40 years ago!

A friend of mine's father was always taking random video photos with his 8mm home movie camera, and he left the camera out so as to be available for the quick shot.  His daughter and I set the camera on a tripod behind my 1937 Ford Panel Delivery truck, got into the truck and started rocking it.  I got out of the truck, doing said "Baseball adjustment, and she got out , fumbling with blouse buttons and we shut off the camera and put it back onto his shelf where it normally resided.

A month or so later he had a party showing his latest film footage, and right smack in the middle of birds, sailboats and general nature shots was his daughter and I.  The place went silent...
