Taped up some flames!

Looks like a good start! If it were mine, I would go pearl white with some really frosty silver towards the center of each flame. Let's see some finished product pics, too!

Nice flames. I'm being picky here but, the flame over the passenger side wheel well is a bit "fatter" than all of the rest. You might want to go a bit deeper with the inside part of the flame toward the wheel well and thin the outsides a bit.
Looks good.

Did you sand the surface down? What grit did you use? Also not to be picky but the side flames are not consistent with the hood flames. The hood flames are pretty good. You started with the hood first didnt you? Looks like you lost patience towards the end or perhaps like you said you were pressed for time. I have flames on the side of my car. I think since late f-bodies are so lengthy the flames need to be able to balance the apperance of the car as to make it not look so long(avoiding the boat look). Not trying to rag, just some constructive critisim.

I think they look pretty good. You did a good job on keeping them equal in size and shape. The side flames could be just a little longer but I wouldn't go too far back. If you are going to change anything, I would suggest that you thin out the top flame on the side just a bit. Good luck and I can't wait to see what they look like when you are done.
