Thank you everyone.

I am not a fan of custom paintjobs either, but I have always wanted to do something a little unique to separate the car from other corvettes on the road.

I will post pics when the car is finished

I am pretty sure you could have done that by putting your foot half way in the throttle. Nice car. I think the flames are gonna look incredible.

Richey Collision is the one doing the work

I know the feeling and keep kicking around an idea unfortunately very similar to what you're having done.... I'm looking forward to seeing the how it comes out.... as I go back to changing my design... AGAIN.

Psssst. Some of your flames are going the wrong direction.

Sorry, I hate tribal flames. They are halfway away from a good paint job and a shitty tattoo from 1996.
