The woody yes, this one will be natural patina LOL and 101% reliable. Not gonna get carried away with cosmetics..

The woodie I did.

and My Lil Woodie is gold leaf.......

All the wood for windshield frame dash and all other cool wood was 1x12 Clear Black walnut some lady had in her attic for walking boards, I told her I would buy her BRAND new pine boards and replace those old boards haaaaaa what a score that was. The window trim was a brand new shower door I had, I ran it through the table saw and made my trin. Turned out nice. The break water you see on the front of the boat took me I think around 50 hours to build. Lot of trick lofting a pattern, and had a friend out in the islands weld it up. I cant weld stainless steel. I polished it to a mirror finish That was some work..... BMW engine and outdrive. and WOODY sitting on the dash. People got a kick out of that!!! And thew stereo, I would turn it on and a retracting antenna would squirt up between the trumpet horns you see on the front deck. Very cool boat. I miss it.....

Re: "That "My Lil Woody boat I posted a while back took me 5.5 years!!!"
I'd have thought cars were harder - except when you're trying to make art, which it sounds like you are.
