never heard of that one.
Maybe that's the point, sport. And good looking out, Steve.

Pretty much its like this. My car's name is "Red Red Wine". It's got House of Kolor Kandy Magenta sprayed on her body (no kit yet). Just got it painted. Next is 17in. Arelli Assassyns, and I'm paying my buddy to learn airbrush to get a mural of my girlfriend done on the hood. He's a great artist of many different mediums and his airbrush is almost near perfect. Pin stripes will complete the project. I ride low and slow, and this is my first euro. The oldsmobile emblem on the bottom right part of the trunk will read "RedRedWine" as soon as I find a place to do it. And I still want the wineglass as an emblem. I do not think I'll look like an alcoholic. Most people with knowledge of the song will appreciate the sentimental tone of the car. Its a metaphor for how working on my car helps me forget about the problems in life. Women, work, all that poop. I stopped coming to the forum for a minute because I didn't think I could get any help from folks who think I'm an idiot. And since all I do is read your forum at work all day, I might as well just explain and hope someone can help. Just for clarification this is all going to be done on the trunk of the car. Not the front. The wine glass is not a hood ornament. It's just an emblem image. Not an actual glass.

I found this place online

Says ball park would be 350 for one. I'll probably spend more around 900 on it to be honest. The sizes I'll need may cost more. Six to eight weeks sounds great. I could also do it myself and get it chrome dipped. But what material is easy to work and carve but wont burn or melt if dipped. I heard of a place that has perfected dipping plastic in chrome. Doing it myself may be a better option. Suggestions that dont include pointing a finger while laughing will be great.
