Ghost flames are hard to beat and look great if done correctly and the blue is a perfect example of how its done.

Thanks for the kind words about my car. I just love the way it looks. I'm going to do some pictures of it at night with some bright lights shining on it and the flames will really kick then. Gary.

I have a 402 strocker with a Vortec supercharger. Running 604 rwhp and 568 rwtq. Don't want to run meth so I will stay were I'm at. Guy's run a lot more boost than I do but mine is safe. Wouldn't run more than 12 pounds even on my strocker motor. Running 10 pounds as of now. Gary.

My ghost flames are a very light pearl red. They come of of the side coves and the opening on my MCM hood.

I'm a vote for a whole new color...



Otherwise, I did the halo and top black, and Kind of like it on blue:



Also, Chris, I haven't seen your car in that state, looks AWESOME.
