Updated true fire hood pics
Looks very good. The blue/purple is a nice touch - blue/purple at the base, the tips could even be a faint hint of teal w/moondust - might sound weird but it really does make them pop, whatever color, moderation is the key to detail in flames.
Mike Lavalle the one that started the Real Fire flames as seen on TV, I spoke with him on the phone through his company KILLER PAINT, and he said got a basic job, which consists of the nose, and a few embers on the fenders he gets $4000 for, and that just you taking your car to a body shop and having them do the paint, before they shoot clear you pay for his flight, hotel, and expenses he comes and shoots the flames, then the shop finishes it...So you could easily get $$ outta it. How long did it take you to do? How'd your "ghost" the RamAir in there?

The ram air was ghosted with a stencil that i cut out and then sprayed with kandy apple on the layers. shows up real well in the sun.

I wish I had a ws6. Then I'd drive to where ever you are at and have you do a huge firechicken on the hood and true fire the front bumper as well. That would look sweeeeeeeeeeeet. 
with work like that you are going to be a rich man.very impressive.i always pipe dream that if i win the lottery i would take my car to lavelle(that doesn't look right)to have him paint it,but after seeing what you can do i think i'm changing my mind.
