I really don't know how to respond...

let's try this.

That is incredibly nice work. I wish it was on something other than a headstone, for your sake, and your friend.

 

I really need to take a camera to the cemetery where my uncle is buried....the family joke (now that he's been gone for bout 2 years) is that he eternally has to put up with the smell of the trash man....he's buried right next to the towns only trash guy for 30+ years, his tombstone is a mid 60's tear drop trash truck...really, I'm not kiddin, it was a big deal when the bloke dropped dead (the trash guy that is) the whole town didnt have trash pick up for sometime till they got a replacement.

 

Well said.

 

Thanks... it's a living, and kinda depressing sometimes... but if I wasn't doing tombstones, I'd starve to death. Then who'd do mine?

 

Is that engraved? That is incredible work.
Was that a car that was in your friend's fleet?

 

yeah, etched by hand with a diamond bit in a rotary engraver...
I never saw this car in his fleet, but it could've been one in the storage shed, his fathers or something.

or just his favorite style.... I don't ask questions at this time in folks lives, I just do what they ask.
