Yeppers that be the car WIll.

Flying, The paint was still tacky when I took that pic. So we didnt bother to mount the attena back on to the car yet. -In matter of fact the blisters are just sitting on the hood not even bolted down. lol

It's staying there. Too much work to remove it and we didn't have the time to really mess arround other than just painting the flames.

Nope. Dark Maroon Metallic. It's a PPG color.

I'm not all into the traditional colored flames with white, red, orange. My favorite flames are ghosted, I never see enough ghost flames. Id like to see more ghost flames. Not bad on the Maro. I think ghosted would have looked awesome.

Thats the look we were going for... BUt the guy at the paint store gave us the wrong colored paint.. We asked for light maroon metallic but he gave us the dark stuff. Oh well. We like how it turned out tho
