I love the bird on the hood but.... something doesn't look right about the flames on the door.. You know what I mean?

It's a kick *** paint job and love the art work ... just something looks off.

I agree, it's quality work and looks great. The flames on the white look, to me, like those airbrushed shirts you buy at car shows and flea markets or what have you. I think the outline of the flames is a little much and should either blend in better or dial the outline back.

Not trying to knock the paint job at all, it's just nit-picking at this point. I still think it looks awesome.

The flames coming from the hood blend to dark and to close to the door causing the flames on the door to look like they don't quite matchup... the fine details of the hawk down to the metal feathers are top notch none-the-less... I would see if they could re-touch the doors and see if the could stretch the flames further back to help with the blend work(very hard to do with big designs on limited surface...
