I`m working on a few more versions of the flame job.I still have some finish body work on the fenders and hood so I can prime and hang them.I will paint the engine compartment next so I can start putting the car together.Exterior paint won`t be till sometime this spring.

Torred, nice progress.  Of the two drawings you posted for your possible paint job combinations, that first one looked like it would be awesome.  The main body color is sweet, too.  :o '01 Amber Fire Metallic...NICE!!! :o
