Sweet!
That makes me want a tri tip sammich!
Very nice. The details are what make it cool.
I like the shiny look of the stainless. Are you planning to do more of that?

Probably. It's a lot harder to work with. I had to go over the outside like 4 times to get the raised edge to look decent.
I like it. I don't much care for the step dies. Think I'm gonna have them machined down some.
A friends wife wanted me to make this for his birthday. He has a kickass blue bug that he built up and finally brought to silver lake last summer.
Jesse did the imaging stuff for me from real picture to outline so I could make the sticker.

A drill press, an abrasive pad, and alot of time
Regarding the swirls, you can search the term "jeweling", quite appropriate for dueling, wouldn't you say? All very nice by the way.
How do you make the panels so they don't warp?
They all warp lol.
Lots of bending etc by hand to make it minimal. If I get an English wheel, there are ways to pre stretch areas so that you don't get the warpage.
On a side note, Jamey Jordan got ahold of me through instagram and hooked me up with a bunch of dies he had left over from his class with sosa metal works. And a t shirt 
I thought it was something I did wrong after seeing yours nice and flat. I did a floor panel over the weekend and it came out pretty warped.
I've been wondering if by using a shrinker / stretcher on the edges of a panel where you can see the warpage, if that would help any. Then trim the excess.
How effin awesome is this!?
I bought two dies and Jamey threw in 2 more from his class with Sosa Metal Works last week. He also gave me a shirt and a couple of his IMC Marks brand paint markers (also a US product).
