Now you just need to paint your front calipers blue and the rears black. Or you could be different and paint the fronts black and then do a flame job on them.

Looks awesome! You should have plenty of work. Could you do somethin like that except black checker flag style? Do you think the flag would look good on a '99 Pewter SS.

My .02 is that that grill aint bad but I am partial to the SLP style. And I will never go retro style on an F body TTIIs and the like belong on '76 and older. Hate them on new stuff.

I've done a checkered flag on a mailbox... it turned out pretty nice - I could definitely do it on a car... actually it'd look pretty sweet w/o the white... just black with just some highlights... hmmmm



PS more pics comin - just need to clean r up and grab my camera!

I like that a lot.

Is it just a mixture of blue and white to get those flames?

I can't really see your grill as the picture is compressed too much. Maybe you could snap another pic of just the front that clearly shows the grill?

That looks AMAZING! Just out of curiosity, how much would you charge for a job like that? I don't plan on doing it, I'm just curious, since it looks very time-consuming.
