Yes in 1979.... no in 2009.... I've seen a couple that looked pretty decent but that one is just too *BAM* for my taste. The detail and work look awesome, just not my cup-o-tea.

What can you say, it's just a fact of life you won't please everyone. but, that's what makes us all different.

By the way, the car name "Rokn Red" is based on my love for Rock-n-Roll and car is red, hope I didn't offend you!!!!

I love how the bird looks. I think you shoulda kept the flame theme underhood also instead of switching it to lightning. That way you wouldve had one them instead of a couple. But if you were doing the lightning for you rock n roll theme you shoulda just done that.

Car looks great though.

Lightningn is for Rock n Roll...eventually the painter will continue with lightning in the backgorund of the Phoenix (thus flames). Unfortunately, he had to work on the pillar behind the T-Tops from GM wonderful factory gluing (bubbles under the paint). So, he wanted to get me my car back in time for local fall show.

More to come, and all good ideas. by the way, the flame work looks bling only in the sun as it was meant to look like flame, but subdue otherwise.

That is definitely unique. And oddly enough, i love the bird on the hood. I think it looks good. I just wish i had the money to get some paint under my hood like that.

MR. Frost,

It says "Kustom Autographixs"; paint shop who did the work, he signs all of his work that way.

Not my thing IMO.

Why who people detail engines, they're covered 95% of the time. Waste of time IMO.

Granted, my engine is clean, but not painted and polished.

Black,

I did for car shows, engine bay showing is major part of the game. But, instead I have a new problem, try and show both paint on the hood and what's underneath it. That part I didn't think out, but just means anohter mod is in order to get hood converted where I can show both paint and engine bay at the same time.
