i have BFG Drag radials on it and it runs 1.512 60 foots and 11.5@120 in the qtr. im selling my motor in october if anyone is interested.

joe

 

What kind of motor, and where are you located?

Damn though that paint job is sweet.
It is funny you spent 400 bucks to do that in your garage when the same paintjob at a "reputable" place would cost at least 3 times that.

Excellent job.

 

Looks bad ***! How about some close up pics? I'e been mulling over painting my car myself. What kind of process did you use? Equipment? Did you mask off an entire area of your garage? More info would be greatly appreciated! Matt

 

:hail: that is awesome!

 

its a built carbed 355 with about 425 hp on motor and then a 175 shot of nitrous. im in PA so if anyones interested let me know.


my parents have a 2 car garage i pulled it in crooked and soaked the entire floor with water to minimize dust and masked off the car and went to town with a sears craftsman spray gun. the paint for the flames is a sherwin williams hot rod paint with a blue base coat and a green pearl coat its changes from a freaky blueish purple to a iridescant green depending on light and all.

 

:hail: :hail: :hail:

 

Wow, I want to learn how to paint. That is just awesome!!

 

Midnight Sun: if you find a reputable body shop that does nice custom flame jobs for $1200 - please send their number my way. Their labor must be free. I can't see how that paintjob was only $400 in materials. Not that I don't believe you camaroracer1992. Maybe all body shop supply places don't make you grab your ankles like the one I go to.

It's a sharp paintjob by the way.

 

gallon of paint and clear coat for the base was 168 and the pearl and stuff for the flames was 225

joe

 

Dont forget the cost of bondo, spot putty, sandpaper, reducer, primer, masking tape, etc. etc. etc. I have almost $400 invested in materials, and my car isn't even totally in primer yet.

I like the layout on the flames. Whenever I see a post that says "Check out the flames I did myself" I always cringe and expect the worst. Yours looks great, no matter how much you spent.

 

damn joe, it looks good. I haven't been up at your place lately to see it in person. Actually, these are the first pics i seen since you told me you were getting your new hood. I love it!

 

the car was a dent free car , my mother had it since new. the materials and all maybe cost me $40 it really wasnt much. deadtrend has seen my car he knows its a smooth glossy finish on it. if anyone is interested i can do the flames for $900 a car if you want the pearl paint like i have id do it for 1200.

joe

 

heres another one

 

and another

 

gr8 job man!:hail: :hail: :hail: :hail:

 

Very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiicccccccceeeeeeee! :hail:

 

Can we get some specs? And great job on the paint, wish I could paint.

 

355 sportsman 2 heads, .454/.480 lift cam victor jr intake, and a 750 dp carb built to take abuse and a 175 shot of nitrous = 600 hp roughly on juice.

joe

 

Hmmm. that cam seems a little itty-bitty to me

 

its a small cam, but hte good flowing heads and my non restrictive exhaust makes up alot of the power.

 

Sweet, thanks.

 

:hail: Extremely nice work man, looks plain awesome:hail: ...

I was gonna ask if you have the motor to back up the flames and cowl...clearly you do

 

Very nice. Good job on the flames. I like the dark blue one too. What hood is on ther other car? BTW, what new engine is going into it?

 

my friend don has a cervini's 2.5" scoop i have a 4" cowl

i am putting a ram jet 502 in it. any takers for me to paint flames?

joe

 

Is that an Atlantic Coast Customs 4" cowl hood?? If so, its the same one I got.

The car looks great! :hail:

 

no its a legendary cars and trucks 4" hood. theyre located in PA it cost me 315 cash

joe

 

AWESOME:hail: :hail:

 

ahve the number for that hood? give them a call

 

any takers on maybe parts of my motor for sale? id liek to piece it out or sell it as a whole.

joe

 

I know nothing about paint & equipment but I have been interested lately in getting my own stuff. What type of gun did you use? I know you said a Sears craftsman what model? How much? What should I look for when buying a spray gun? Great job by the way! Where are you located?

 

$60 for the gun, i am located in PA

 

Lol, I was expecting to see something less than that. It looks good. I like how you made the flames butane colored instead of your standard red, yellow, orange, white.
