Default Flames baby!!!
here are some pics of the project. Still need to put it back together. I did all the work myself..First time I have ever done flames....








Base color...


Drawing out the flames..



cut out flames..





unmasked...



and cleared...





New Tiger Shark front bumper..




I will have about 60 hours in it when its all put back together..Damn my back hurts...:rofl: :rofl:



Nothing like fresh paint and high quality clear coat...So glad to finally get rid of that POS factory orange peel paint.. Just finished my sand and buff on the paint today..Nothing like the wet look...

Wasn't a belt alignment issue..One of the idler bearings went bad and popped the belt...All fixed now... Only ever threw the 1 belt, actually snapped it in half when the idler bearing froze up...
