Description

Edit description

This is a Limited run of 12 Steel Tops based exclusively on the LTD Snakebyte. Each are numbered and come with a certificate of authenticity and hard case. I took inspiration from vintage American cars and Hot-rods and combined it with subtle motorcycle influences. The skull is mounted on individually hand cast Chrysler style V wings while the skeletonised steel plate has the appearance of being welded under the tailpiece. The ‘worn metal’ body and aged nickel hardware are augmented with Allen bolts around the outer edge of the body.
