Jimmie L Holmes' 54 ford "Poison Ivy",

 

This was done in '84.

 

Tarlo , Just to set the story right , The car was restored by Carl Olsen . What I did was all the paint work , including the flames and the silver leaf lettering along with the pinstriping. The ironic part of the story is that the car originally was owned by Billy Wilkerson , who lived on the street behind me when I was a kid !!

 

Awesome

My historical owners' informations shows that the
Flames have been painted in the early 50's !
Second owner was an auto body repair man from KY
The man puchased the car, Painted the flames
and customised the car somewhere between 1950-1955,
Drove it up into the early 60's before sold it...!

 

Killer Thread........... I got 33/34's
