Are you doing that yourself or is someone else - looks like that true-fire style paint job I saw on TV before ...

I'm leaning more towards just a few flames licking up from the middle of the front bumper and gradually on to the hood, instead of filling the hood completely full with the fire.
Probably will go with an airbrushed corvette flag emblem on middle of front bumper and have the flames trickle up from it on to the hood.
Also going to possibly have a few discrete flames on back bumper.

Jim, I saw your car at a show in Paducah last fall. That was the most awesome flame job I had ever seen under the hood. Now the rest of the car is going to look awesome too. I can't wait to see what it looks like when done. Hopefully I'll get to see it in person when I'm around Paducah again.
