jeff

 

Well Jeff, After these last pics, I'm going to have to order that DVD and try that for myself. Awesome job!!!! Did you say you are using the Essential 7 template set?

 

Hey Jeff I'll buy that ford hood from ya! Looks awesome! How much experience do you have using an air brush> Is this something a novice can pick up?

 

HOLY ****!!!!

thats ****ing sweet man....my ***! **** man your ****ing crazy with that! Sheesh! *** thats nuts. It looks so real. ****....

 

that hood goes on my truck

jeff

yes im using the esential seven you can use almsot any shield that has curves, the more shields the better.


jeff

 

christ, man!
I'm up in Chelmsford.....in a few months you up to maybe doing some flames on the cowl part of a cowl hood for me maybe? LOL

 

Very nice work! What kind of airbrush are you using? Looks fabulous!

 

Man jeff, that hood looks WICKED! that is awesome man, you have a real knack!

 

thanks its way alot of fun to do also... gotta love it at the last couple steps when it comes together.

jeff

 

Have you tried it in the blue yet? I very curious on how that will come out.

 

not yet maybe tonight... its way to hot to be messing with all the safety gear....

 

How about some progress pics of how you do it?

 

holy big-sig batman!

 

wow what responces. i gotta be carefull where i post these. i got a guy that want a 50,000 dump truck done its 2 months old......hes providing the garage when im ready...he is saving money up for it.

jeff

 

Can you do my 55 foot semi trailer?


I dont actually have a trailer, or a semi....Im 18

 

its crazy.... kind cool too at the same time....hahah

 

I think it would be cool to do an actual Firebird logo with this quality of flame detail.

 

that would be sweet.

 

DAMN YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!
YOU STOLE MY IDEA!!!!!!!!!
DAAMMNN YOU ALLLLL TO HELLLLLL!!!!!!!!

 

^^ huggies to tight?

some blue flames to get an idea

 

again

 

Exscuse me sir where are your blue flames

 

pulled my test panel out from the shed and its junk the paint is a mess so i have to candy paint a hood before i do my blue..so it will be a copuple weeks yet. right now i am doing a complete repaint on my f150 so i can sell it. i got a new f250 in january. been practicing paterns on mail boxes for the time being....new term for hot mail....

jeff

ps i got a couple shots of the firbird flaming bird (thanks Kevin Fox) so i will be tring that this weekend...i gotta get a test panel i think i have some sheet metal signs at work that im going work over...ill post up the results good or bad.

 

jeff if you need a test car i am ready

 

whats a danco body kit?

im doing my pickup next week. while on vacation. if that comes out well then i may consider giving you a great deal..... i don;t want to produce a turd so i have to go slow at this point. no one wants to drive a turd

jeff

 

jeff send me your email and i will send you pics of the car.

 

great job jeffw

practice on the firebird true flames and post pics ASAP.

that would look so cool on any color car,with contrasting color flames.

I would like to repaint my 86 trans am dark cherry red and a true flames that would seem to be coming from a large firebird on the hood.

 

I want I need I want I need I want I need......


thats all this thread is now.....

 

whats wrong with kids on crack? get em hook and they keep coming back....

nothing wrong with people wanting flames i like em....

jeff

 

whats wrong with that. I think it's great that some new idea for a paint job has created such attention. most of us here have tried to think of somethin unique and different to boost the image of our badazz car. when most of us only think of doing something once in a while someone actually does try it and we all would like to see the results, and that usually sparks new interest in our car again, and suddenly more people follow the new trend until it's played out, and the cycle starts over again with something newer or better than before.

so now if we all didnt think we "wanted or needed" to buy a 3rd gen fbody , then I dought there would be any one posting here online now would there?

 

you have a pm

jeff

 

to jeffw

could you post a picture of the stenciles you used ?
I was just wondering what shapes were avalible.

 

Bitchin set of flames definitly awesome job. So how much of that was a stencil? I'm more partial to the lay it out with tape and do the old fashioned flames.
No stencils, No videos, just you the tape and the spray gun.

 

no stencils all free hand with shields for sharp edges

jeff

 

I'd drive a flaming turd... and my friends already hassle me by calling my car a fireturd... So...

 

hot mail?

three of my practice peices... on the thirdgen

 

Just put it on the car already

 

thats sweet man... i wish i had the money/guts to try that

 

those blue flames look awesome.

 

Note to self:-

Get Jeff to ship me out a US mailbox for my house hehe. Mind you, the way Customs & Excise are, it may be cheaper for me to buy the DVD and an airbrush!

Great work guys!

Mark.

 

I really like the one on the right. If I would guess, I think that you did that one last. That has the perfect amount of flames to base color.

So what color are you planning on the blue? Still with the orange, or do you plan on a different shade or color. I see this as an easy procedure, but still to complicated for me to be able to attempt.

If I could do that, I would have many things around my house painted with flames. That hood looked really nice too. I just can't wait to see the camaro done.

I must live vicariously thru your pics. I have too much rust to weld up, and engine work just to keep my trans/am running.

Good job jeffw

 

jeff i want a mail box with a 20 on it.....maybe even put"smoke" written on it

 

Oh dear, sorry Jeff, I may have started something...

Mark.

 

I have never seen flames above the exhaust going on the rear bumper.

I think it could possibly look like crap, but maybe not.

Just a thought....

 

i agree. if you are going with true flames it does look best on a black car. the blue flames pictured on the small motorcycle tank looks good but i think it would look funny on a car.

 

was the DVD helpful to you or could you have done without it?



Here is a link i found a few months ago showing the process. http://www.signweb.com/fabrication/cont/deuceswild.html
