Default A few tasty pics of "Nightmare"

I recently threw some custom paint on my dad's car, thought I'd share.

I think it looks pretty nice. Defiantly different then what you'd normally see on the street. I love the white SS badges.

The work itself looks good as hell but it being on the car is ok, I will give it that.

Nice! I'm a fan of fire though, guess there is a lot of hate for flames on a 4th gen. Modern looking flames on a modern car, so I suppose I'm confused. Its not like you painted some 50's style flames on it.

We had it at a veteran's day show and it took peoples choice award, which was a $200 visa giftcard, so overall I think it's accepted.
