Brian Saupe always wanted a "woody" '69 Suburban. Unfortunately GM didn't offer such a vehicle back then. His solution was to paint his truck to look like a woody. Saupe, who works at Custom Crafts Unlimited, is a skilled and talented auto painter as these pictures attest to...

That is just awesome. Great job, looks better than most REAL wood does. LOL
Plus, real woodies are a pain, they warp, splinter, split, crack, and just aren't the ideal exterior surface for a car.
Plain old paint is much better, lighter, costs less, and lasts longer. I say thumbs up.

Would be much nicer with a drop shadow in there to add realism. Some indication of light source, most likely as if coming from above. As is, it's detailed but extremely flat and lacks any punch which takes away from the work.
