OMG, my hoods on fire!!!
Not really, but give my friend 20 minutes, some tape, and a spray can and this is what happens,


I think it looks pretty damn good. He was doing this while I was getting my interior put back together, had wires all over the place.

That looks pretty damn good!! Just throw some orange around the edges, and put yellow trim, oh yeah, and remember to sometimes cross the flames. Be sure not to use so much crab hand flames, make em thinner as ya got to the top, flames are always different like snow flakes they don't have to be patterned, but if thats what you're looking for cool... where was I? Oh yeah great job!
Looks good, especially for a quickie job. Your friend has talent. I agree with ChevyLuva3 though about skinny flames, I think they look better. Here are a couple of pics to give you some ideas

Thanks.
We might do some other flames to the car as well, just for fun though.
Car will be silver and black when I get her painted.

Flames are friggin' awesome!!!
If that's what a quick job looks like (from a spray can, no less!) then I'm lookin' forward to painting my car... Looks good, Zepher. Here's what I want to do to my car

Thanks.
That 350 block is for sale if the price is right.
No, it's not aluminium, everyone asks that when they see it.
I am going with the no spoiler look, doesn't look too bad.

Please add a spoiler. Cmaros without a spoiler are tolerable (still need one) but birds just don't look right without one. I think I missed something though. What happened to the one that was on it? I guess you're getting the car painted now?

Car was towed to the muffler center to have the y-pipe made and the rest of the exhaust attached.
I'll sell the block $125.

Spoiler or no spoiler, I can’t say it looks good or bad. It does look good with it and now that you took it off it still looks good. Well I couldn't tell you. Either way looks good but I just wouldn't of went through all the trouble to find out if it looks good or not.

It looks good without one on the picture of your car from the front/side. Really resembles a corvette IMO. But other pictures need a spoiler, lol.

I think it has to be shipped UPS Freight due to the weight of the item.
I don't think there is anything wrong with the block. I'll have one of my friends that builds motors have a look at it.
I also have the crankshaft for the block as well as pistons and rods. Don't think you'd want to use the pistons, though, since I don't know which cylinder they came out of. I heard that you are supposed to put the piston in the same cylinder it came out of when you take it apart and put it back together.
I don't like it without a spoiler, but I had to take my heavy cracked one off (still off, until i find replacement or make GTR one), all my friends loved how it looked. Said it looks sleeker. However, you have a 4th gen wing don't you?! Why not throw that badboy on? (After all, you paid all that $$ for it, right?)

I am selling the 4th gen wing to a friend now.
If I put a wing on the car, it will be the 2002 FireHawk Spoiler, that bad boy looks awesome.
