Looks pretty cool, dude. I especially love how it integrates the hood scoop. I don't like the licks on the side; too wavy and too many sharp edges... too busy. I do like the flame licks on the hood very much! Did you see my flame idea? Are you gonna flame your car too?

The hood/fender flames would be killer in a different color scheme. Just leave the side ones off.

My neighbor is painting mine teal w/ ghost flames. I don't think I'll go down the doors now that I saw that. The reason I'm going teal is cuz that's the original color and it'll be too much to do the whole car in another color. I think it'll look good tho.

I just can't really get into that color combo. It looks like Marilyn Manson.

If that same pattern was done with pearl-coat, then I'd give it a big thumbs-up

That is BAD ***!!!! Put a flaming skull right on the nose with its eyes glowing and mouth open. Paint jobs like this were very common in the late 60's and early 70's when people let their imagination run wild. Anybody remember the Munster Casket Car????

Wow! I like it, but not a big fan of the color. I think a black car with that purple would look cool, or black with flames that were purple fading into blue.

That orange looks really nice, but I'd still use a different primary flame color than the body color.

Yeah I like the orange one. Door flames are just too narrow for my taste but other than that I like.

Love the orange one!!!:hail: I just saw this 94-99 Mustang that was orange with the Cobra R wheels; it looked awesome. Almost makes me want a 'stang... almost. I just bought this month's Street Rod Builder mag with a really detailed how-to on flame jobs (90+ photos!!!). I would recommend it for anyone who's gonna do this... I know I'm excited about doing my car now! If only I could find the parts car I need to replace all my damaged panels... Oh, sorry, the point is: I like the ORANGE!

It's not the car color I hate, it's the purple stripes. They contrast too much. I like a more subtle effect. A white car with pearl white ghost flames... now that's nice!
