    I like the car. Wide whites and striping the flames would help. Cool color combo. Get a different battery though, it kills the awesome look that flathead has. Way to stay away from the SBC.

    Very cool, man.... With wide whites it'll be even better!

    It really looks like something straight out of the pages of Andy Southard's Custom Cars of the 1950s book -- one of my favorites...

    the flames are outlined again but needs to be outlined once more. Also the battery is just in there to start it up right now. The outlineing is hard to see in pics.The car aint for sale

    Came out looking great with all its own accents . You did a bang up job and paint and flames must look great in the direct sun . Cant wait to see it up close my self so if a big 4wd F150 rolls up and is staring down its me .
