    ....You ought to tell him to give you a pile of business cards and cut the paint job in half   :bigsmile:
    honestly, I think he has already. This is way more work than what I paid him to do. I'm not complaining.....

    Hey Eric, the attention to detail is where it is all at.  It does look amazing buddy, and the detail he has put in to every single part of the strobe stripe is remarkable to say the least, gives it depth, and i love the stainless looking spear that pierces its way through the strobes also, the flames do look really well excecuted :2thumbs: Looks like you have your Hot Rod 'Cuda AAR tribute after all, i bet you are so happy. :bananasmi and it is nearly ready for full picture posting for us all to :drool: :bigsmile:

    Holy cr4p! The details look amazing. I'm glad you decided to go with the flames. They add the "something" into it but are not too much. Great looking car!  :thumbsup:

    I too like the way the strobe is connected with the rod. The 3D affect of it and each segment's shadow gives it a "heavy metal" look. The smoke is cool and different too - kind've like freezing cold smoke coming off of dry ice?

    Is definitely one of a kind, I think I would be careful not too venture too much further off though. I think at a point, it can be distracting for all the other quality work thats gone into the car.

    When you said flames I was thinking yellow/orange and NO. Now that I've seen them I'm sold. The blue is perfect and very creative. Your paint guy is hugely talented.

    Thanks for the compliments everyone. There isn't anymore artwork added from my last pictures, at that point everything was under a few coats of clear, and and Steve said "when the clear goes on, the art is done". It might be ready for some shiny pictures tomorrow. Not sure yet.

    looks like next week it will come home, posting a couple of pictures I used to guesstimate where the antenna hole on the passenger quarter should go for another member. If someone has the dimensions of where the hole should be located, could you post them?
