    the before pic looks like it drove out of 1985... and the guy wanted traditional 'hot rod' flames on the car. :D
     
  5. I also like the before look, but its the jeckyl / hyde thing, I also dig the flames bunches.
    One car, two different attitudes completely

    Shaun was with us almost 2 years ago . He lived pretty far from our new location (like 50 miles) and didnt want the commute, I think he moved back to Cali with the girlfriend- not sure. Nice kid.

    Did you guys make those mini tubs? I hate yellow. ERspecially when it is on a 150 with no trim. Major improvement!

    yellow looks good on a 150 with no trim, but a bit odd on a 210 that's missing the side trim (like this one)

    I had a 55 210 2 dr sedan like that back in the mid-seventies, old lady green with a white top. I painted it the same color yellow as the before pic. I swapped it for a Model A coupe. The guy I swapped it with sold it to a guy who made it into a pickup. That was a rust-free Oklahoma car, too. What a waste.
     
  15. Looks great Lenny, although it should have been orange, :D By the way I sold my 55 after all these years Carlg

    Looks like you guys do great work, but I'm a first picture guy. All it needed was a straight axle and a bad ass small block. Gary

    Yep, I understand that, it's the same round here. They can't seem to dump enough salt on the roads. You guys do a nice job of laying out flames. Very tasty. Gary
