Default Ghost Flames

We have deceided to get ghost flames after seeing the cars that had them while on the trailridge drive...both looked great. I know Jarod did both cars, what company does he work for (I knew we would forget by the time we got home)? Also, does anyone know anyone else that does quality painting so we can have a comparison?

Here is a link to his site!

Motorsport Concepts

It has his address and phone # on his site.

If you want another place for comparison, you might PM Stan (Glasman66) or hopefully he will pop in here. He just got his done, and I think his came out pretty sweet! His was the '94 navy blue with the white stripe.

I was talking to Jarod at Motorsport Concepts last night and he said that if anyone needs anything done that now's the time to do it. For ghost flames he could get your car back to you by friday if you took it in today (tuesday).

I see you took the car down there! A triple black C5 is going to be my next car - looks so sweet! It's going to look very with the flames!

Thanks Timmy,

We are really excited to see how the car comes out. I am sure Jarod will do a great job...he better or my wife will kill him . We shoudl have the car back this week, complete with graphite pearl tribal flames front and back. It's going to be a long week of waiting.

I saw the car tonight down at the shop! Wow! That's really "ghost", you can barely see them at some angles and then they just pop out at ya when you are looking at the right angle! It looks sweeeet!
Congrats!

That sounds exactly like what the wife wants...barely there until you are right up on it. Trying to stay subtle, we are a little too old for flashy. We are hoping to pick it up tonight...can't wait to see it.

We are trying to get some pictures that actually show the flames. They are so subtle (ghost) that unless the light hits the car just right you would not know they are there. With the current snow, we have not had a chance to get it outside in the sunlight. Maybe today, but still unsure if they will be visible on film.

If they come out we will definetly post.

The Hashmarks he painted on my fenders 6 years ago are still the same way, the photographed it for Corvette Fever Magazine back then and you can't even see them in the pictures which is the whole reason they liked my car.

Ghost hashmarks? That sounds incredibly cool. Do you have any of your own pictures that show them?

Hard to believe I had those painted in 1999.
