just want some honest opinions i threw this paint job on a few weeks back the main body color is carbon blue w/ balck effect and the flames are a mixture of colors base color is stratus blue with silver tips i then threw kandy cobalt blue on top then topped it off with clear with a little white pearl mixed in. so should i leave it or go with a differ color and design i do this for a living so its not hard. Also any other changes yall would make let me know. Now some pics





Oh and this big headache im trying to figure out how im gonna stuff this beast into the bird its a blown 454 ive been building up for a yr its ready to rumble but im not.

 

Scuse me while i wipe the puddle of drool i just made...im sure that explains it......saaawweeetttt

 

maybe a better view of the side flames

 

And motor

 

ooooooooooo nice ooooooooo i want a blower...you suck :hail: :hail:

 

wow, nice looking!

 

man thats sweet!

 

good job, deffinatly looks nice.

 

Those flames look really nice, thats gonna be sweet when you get that motor put in

 

Personally I belive that you have skill. The Flames are really well layed out and flow nice. Alot Better than some other flames that are out there. More pics would be nice!

I would prefer a SBC in these cars but a 454 would be pretty sweet if done right.

 

I love how you are so subtle in the amazing amount of sweetness you possess in those pics; both motor and car...good job

 

I agree with everyone else, those flames look great.

 

So seeing the road isn't important at this point.......lol......that blower is huge.....

 

Thanks for all the comments. The 454 was originally going into the 56 which is a pure show car its real old school style and it sits real high off the ground mainly so you can see all the detail that went into the underside of the car so putting a blown 454 would be a waste in that car. And yeah the motor sits a little high main reason its not in the car if i could find a thinner intercooler and get rid of the butterfly valve intake it wouldnt be so bad, but then again all that stuff on the motor makes it look like it could eat a few small cars.

 

Lookin good! I can't wait to see the 454 in the car.

 

looks good to me

 

Not my style of flames, but looks pretty good.

I think you're going to need a taller hood....

 

I like it.

 

better pictures and some nicer wheels and it could be sharp. looks to much like a rushed monster garage vehicle to me as it sits.

 

i think he's gonna need a saws-all..

 

When I saw the first two pics I loved the side shot but wasn't liking the front UNTIL I saw the motor. Nice ride man!

 

Looks good. I think it needs to be lowered alittle.

 

the design of the flames is not bad but would look killer as a tribal kind of flame and also you should have it fade into the flames. maybe its just me but i dont like flame jobs where it looks like the paint is being ripped off and a new color is underneath. i think the nose should be the body color then have it fade into the flames, makes it look more bad ***.

 

Sort of off topic, but isn't that a 57' in the picture? If so...please PM me pics! I am building one right now for my wife...

I think the blown 454 will do that for him.

Looks great man, I'll love to see her when shes all together!

Its a 56 we built this to aim it to our hispanic customers it represents the old school style mixed with a little lowrider style. Ill get you some better pics soon.


That was the origianl idea but i got lazy i believe this paint job took me about 4hrs to do so it was a rush job. Im fixing to repaint the car so next time ill go extreme on it but i think im gonna airbrush them on for a realistic look.

Im fixing to tear all the suspension down to rebush everything plus ive got a drop kit sub frame connectors and disc brakes for all the way around so next paint job can be a slow one.

 

pic doesnt work ill try again

 

that is fantastic

 

Looks good to me...I''m trying to figure out how to lay flames so that the 82 can have a multi colored layered flame job! Flames are not an easy thing to do!

I like the blue with blue...

Motor kick booty!

Well if you need help or ideas im your man I have my own custom paint shop.

 

I really hate to be an A$$ but the car in the pic above is a 57, or at least a 57 frontend. This is a 56

 

The straight axle/gasser look is pretty cool though. Not really a hispanic thing though...

 

You havent seen the paint job LOL and yeah your partially right about the 57 front end but it was originally a 56 The 56 had been hit in the front hard we had found in a field about 100 yards away from my shop a 57 that had got smacked in the rear so we pieced them together. Ive got a GTO judge we are bringing back to life and a Challenger R/T that we just saved. Ill post some pics of them if anyone ants to see em.

 

heck yes lets see some pics

 

really nice!!! car

 

i'm typically not a big fan of flames, but i think it looks good, nice design and nice color combination
