Ghetto Flames (video)

Last night one of our local FUEL **** members rolled up with his old beater Rustang GT....

He asked if I could do a FlameJob on his car and I jokingly said sure, just get me some masking tape and razor blades and I'll do it on the spot <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

He took it seriously and headed out to a nearby 24 hour AutoZone for some tape and an Exacto knife <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

Came back with the goods and handed it to me and I was like <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Time for me to eat my words I guess <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="gr_emb.gif" />

So I taped down the hood and fenders, sketched out some flames and cut them out in about 30 minutes <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

He had painted the car Midnight Blue about a week before using House of Krylon <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> , so it didn't matter that I cut into the paint with the razor (not the traditional way of doing flames)...

Anyhoo, the Flamelicks came out pretty good and I left it like that for him to paint in his garage today....

Haven't seen the finished product yet (I will on Friday), but I did make a short video of him cruising with the taped overlay <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

Re: Ghetto Flames (video)

If you like the way the T-tops came out w/ the dust, try masking it like that, and use some glass etching compound on it to etch the flames in!

Re: Ghetto Flames (video)

Well, I finally got some pix of the finished product last night <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

He chose a lighter shade of Blue from House of Krylon like I suggested and I must say it came out pretty damn decent <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

The faded grainy texture and similar shade of of Base made it almost Ghostlike...
