Default New Pics: 'More' Interior Flames

Here's new pics of my seemingly 'never-ending' flame work.
My friend Mark, the airbrush artist 'extraordinaire', worked on these pieces until after midnight last night finishing up his part of the project.
All that's left now is the finale clear coat and dreaded install work.
Thanks goes out to Mark & also Josh, who owns the body shop and did the prep work/clear coat, for hanging in there late last night to finish this up.
Keep in mind these pics are not anywhere near the completed process of the flame work. The majority are at or near the half way point into the various stages of colors Mark uses for the finale effect.

Thanks Brent.. ..the red gauge numbers are also airbrushed... it's a stock C5 gauge cluster that started out with the normal black face/white numbers....

Looks sweet Jim.
You better watch out though.
If that puppy ever catches fire for real you won't know it.
Please be careful driving by fire stations.
