Default Lighting Interior #1

Been experimenting with several different colored LED's in the interior to highlight the flames and think I've finally got it. Here's a pic using a red 'high intensity' spot light. ... What do you think?

Jim, as always it looks incredible. Maybe the fact that you cant see the lights means the set up is spot on.

That's what I'm trying to accomplish....the lights are hidden out of view...kind of hard to do with high intensity of the lights I'm using... ...I'll have some better shots a little later...

One more reason to see this car in person... It looks cool with a picture but you just know in real ife and living color is is totally awesome!!

Looks like this years winter mods are getting completed and you'll be ready to roll soon. I'm SURE you have a show or two to get to in March, yes?

Hey, that gives me an idea for a new thread!!

Winter mods!!

Nice work as always Jim!!

Each time you post I think you can't improve it. And then you do. Good work.
