Grant Johnson - Grove Fruit Juice VE V8 Ute

[bodgybro]

Currently working on a second build of the Grove Fruit Juice VE.
The first was done for John (Barrel) Pachos, who showed Grant Johnson, the driver of this ute, who also wanted 1.
The body has finishind printing so it is currently being sanded and prepped for paint.

I can't take the credit for how it looks, I'm just replicating the original design
No one seems to know who did the original design, someone must, but no one can remember who it was.

That decal of the oranges tho. It's wrapped around the edges so smooth

That's coz i am the decal master!!
but if you look closely, you will see the pattern is darker on the corners... sneaky trick the darker part of the pattern conceals the slight overlays
Mr Mark Softer can take the credit for the smooth curves, best thing since Mr Mark Setter
