Default Pics of Flame Progress

Here's a couple shots I took today when I was there checking out my new hood.
First time I've seen it with the fenders and doors on after clear coating was done. Front cap and hood are only parts left to complete.
Should be finished up by the end of next week!

I am not a big fan of flames on newer cars, but that is one SWEET paint job. I really like the flames on the rear lettering. Can't wait to see the hood. Congrats on the new paint, I know we are envious.

Jim,

Absolutely FANTASTIC. Perfect style, shape and color. I can't wait to see the entire car.

If you're going to Carlisle, I may have to drive up there just to see it.

I have to pretty much agree with yelloyello. I really don't care for flames on anything but a 32' Duce Coupe with the fenders taken off. But DAMN!!! Those look sick! Absolutly the best flame job I have ever seen. Not too much and not so little that it looks stuckon. And the letters on the rear bumper,,,,I'm speachless. Simply top notch. I can't wait to see the hood. I just hope you don't go too over board and spoil it all. However I don't think you will if you follow the theme of the rest of the car. Props to ya man. Just outta curiosity, what kind of green is this costing? And could he do it in black on my Yellow Z06.

[/QUOTE]

With that incredible paintjob I didn't even notice your license plate - but as a Chinese-American I feel I should let you know what AH SUM means in Chinese:

AH SUM: a servant who cleans up after the master.

This is not a joke...sorry.....

But if you ever drive by a Chinese person giving you or , don't say I didn't warn ya!
