Can't see them, but you need to dry your hood after washing to prevent those wavy water streaks.










I like the understated look.

I have always been a fan of ghost flames. Those look awesome. Good job. I had given a lot of thought to ghost flames when I was in the painting stages. Just never did do it.

I had forgot about that show. You got a lot better shot than I did. Did you drive from Stillwater for that show?

Damn, those flames look pretty sweet. I used to live in Stillwater. I went to OSU for five years in the late seventies and enjoyed every minute of it. I was only one of about a dozen vette owners in those days. I hope to go back later this year to retrace my times at OSU.
