Looks good. Once you get wheels and springs, it'll look much better!

Thanks Jack. Yeah, the red and black goes together good on your camaro. It has a good balance.

Yeah, the pins suck. Theyre not doin a good job keepin the hood secure. It flaps around too much. The hood is getting some cracks and will probably need a new one. It should look good hangin on the wall in the garage.

Im gonna eventually get a new hood with a cowl scoop or maybe a SS style. This time I will use some Dzus fasteners. I saw a pic with 4 in the very front and 3 on each side. It should work better by securing the leading edges and keeping them out of the wind.

Thanks, and yeah- I need a hood too. Hopefully when I get back to the states next year! Unless, of course, I win the raffle!

I didn't like the look at first, but when I saw the second picture and the flames faded in from the black, it looked alot better.

The flames will fit better when its lowered with some mean lookin' wheels. I would ditch the hood pins though, get rid of that hellraiser look

I told the painter to make the flames look chaotic without too much symetry. The flames have its charm. Its funny when driving through a parking lot of stores. Little kids stare at the flames. Even cops seem to dig it. One time I was at a light with a cop next to me. He was peepin at the flames, so I threw a lil rev at him. We both started laughing. It was great.

Very unique. I would have let them come down a little farther on the side of the car....at least a little closer to the door.
