    I just finsihed my first entire flame job on my friend 51 Plymouth with a good amount of help from my cuzins Merc-o-Madness and TheSupersized and my friend Sonim38. I masked the flames a couple days before go for a thin whispy style with a sort of panel style. Tell me watcha think. I put a little pearl in the paint just to give a slight shimmer. It still has needs to be pinstriped and cleaned up a bit. What a pain in the ass to mask!

    good job,,,you are right about the masking being a pain in the ass,,i flamed my 51 ford,,,,,,i did seaweed style flames on the hood, roof, decklid, and a few licks running down the sides,,,i spent 17 hours laying them out and masking them,,,and about an hour painting them....

    Damn i seen your car at lead east looks bad ass! I have a 53 chevy im still contemplating what to do on it. I was thinking seaweed style but then i saw a 50 ford that Watson did with the flames looking like thier blown in the wind. I just love his style the 57 buick he did is just rediculous!

    A roll of 1/8" blue masking tape and some 6" paper would have made your masking go a whole lot faster. Id never have the patience to use that much tape. You did an awesome job though. I say gloss black on the pinstripe.

    That looks sharp. I kinda cheated a little when I did my Hood I useda Bead roller to imboss the flames into my hood. And will alsodo them in paint should give a Nice 3D kinda look.
