    Im humbled to read your comments. Thank you design-milk.com for picking up this feature.

    Im constantly amazed at how fantastic these finished pieces turn out. not fantastic because of “ME”, but seeing how great these neglected sheets of color come back to life. I dont create their color. I do not alter their color in anyway. That color and texture was there all along.

    Finding old cars and truck is hard because most of them have long since been crushed and recycled. Finding old cars and trucks that have really cool colors is even harder. So when i round a corner and see a winner from afar, it really is exciting.

    This will never get old.

    Thanks again,

    Joel Hester
