Looks sweet, but the flames are weird. It looks as if they start off as orange flames, but then, turn to blue, sorta like an optical illusion. Kinda hard to explain, maybe someone knows what I'm talking about.

MetalliCamaroRS, yeah I was thinking the same thing, those flames are trippy, but still very cool

Thanks for the complements everyone........Ok...first paint your car a solid color..for instance - manderin copper, then mask off your first set of flames and fill in the INSIDE of the flames with tape....then the blue flames you tape the outside of the flames off, no template, and airbrush in you choice of color...pinstipe everything ....enjoy! This took about 12 coats of clear (3gallons) and you cant feel ANY tape edge. You get good at wet sanding, that is for sure.

The car has a 377 small block making 650 hp. Going to the track next month, but it used to run 11.06 @ 124 with 530 hp. OH yeah, i DO drive it on the street, but not much. :rockon:

here is more pics and the dyno sheet....thats my brothers 68Http://www.streetsourcemag.com/Profile.asp?ProfileID=8883 ....hmm..dont know if that worked?
