Cool Custom Work... Specialized Stainless *PICS*

Here's a full set w/ custom etched flames for a 2008 Corvette. Can't wait to see them installed




Here's some custom work I finished up this morning on a Customers car.
This is what it looked like before... Bunch of hoses and a MSD box.


And after; added a clock over the MSD box and a "kick panel" Happy Holidays and thanks for looking!

Always have loved seeing your work, I dont think i'll ever get over your signature engine bay though. Wish you would do something for Dodge Ram's. I just traded in my Camaro today.....

Not into flames for my car, but the etched flames add nice visual texture to that engine bay.

it would look unfinished because the seam wouldn't be completely flush. It's kinda hard to explain but picture a nice rounded bend and then a flat edge sitting on top of it... I could of done what you said and then welded the seam it made, but they guy I did the work for didn't want to pay more than he had to.
