Don't think I like them but they add an interesting touch, nice job, did you have a flame template or something the look very consistent in the flame pattern.

Funny I have that same speaker/rear well cover in my car, that those parts are sitting on. Removed the large speakers awhile ago, been thinking of finding something else to put over the well because that board is on the heavy side.

Alright:

1) replace the bulb in the fixture over the garage tracks ... move that fixture first to get better lighting while the garage is open.
2) ditch the computer boxes if you set the PC up already
3) throw the bike out, you've got four wheels now
4) paint some flames on the child's bed headboard
5) hang those closet doors already
6) you can't possibly use those weights in that tiny space
7) where's the rest of the drum set



Oh yeah, looks good. Might want to add a little color but I like them.

Thats great I always get a kick when people notice all the background stuff. I am way to focused my mind filters everything out except what I want to see. That does look like a garage sale waiting to happen though.

Not if its an '87... 88 was the first year for L03. Prior to that, it was the LG4.

Thats great, I remember sometime back there was another avatar with a kid looked sorta like you but was in a car leaning out towards the passenger window, with the trucker hat on, and I asked the guy if it was him, he laughed and told me it was the kid from those original Hemi truck commercials where he leans over and ask "That think got a Hemi in it" Your avatar has always reminded me of that.

That was neat. Did you ever say? was that a pattern you used for the flames? Or home made?


[ But don't throw out the bike. With a few junk bikes and a welder you can have one of these.

At the camp ground or the beach you ain't gonna be able to show off them 4 wheels. Talk about a chick magnet. They all want a ride. Wait till the beer cooler side car is done. I'll be able to carry 3. And partying and girls never mix well with 4 wheels.]

What, your car needs brakes now too?!? What, to slow down all that power of the L03??

The paint looks good, post some pics of them on the engine. And don't worry, people will give you a BREAK when they see it on the car.

I like them, especially if the car is either black or silver.

Nice job.

I was debating whether or not to do something to my plain ol' valve covers as well.

i think you should add another layer of color to the valve covers , maybe a red or yellow to add to the flames.

I disagree. I think the black and silver flame concept is pretty original.

However, I think if he sprayed some hi-temp clear coat on them, that it would really bring them out.
