Hot rods and flames are very common, but a flamed out muscle car is a whole different type of cool! In todays world of numbers matching, over restored american muscle I long for the old days, when a tunnel ram and a flame job made your camaro, mustang or cuda the baddest ***** on the block! How about some pics of real american iron with some cl***ic flames to set it on fire? I stole this pic from the web just to get it started.
the Chevelle was a Hot Rod cover car and in all the shows in the 70's. it still looks exactly the same. I have seen it at Goodguys over the years. I have pics somewhere but they may be on film
Seen a lot of lace, endless lines, fades, murals, custom candies of all sorts and shades, etc, etc. Can't say flames were much of a thing on the muscle in these parts. That Chevelle is a beauty though! Had a '69 myself so I might be biased...
Yes! That is what I am talking about.that black 70 camaro is almost perfect. I dont know about the gold as the base for flames, and the endura nose should be painted flame color, but aside from that it is perfect!
damn... I just saw the Chevelle SS cover car in August of 2024 in Pleasanton. I remember the HOT ROD cover from 1995 but not what I saw last summer. my C.R.S. is getting worse.
One of my ongoing daydream projects is a design of car for open-source, open-ended, IP-free decentralized manufacture, capable of being made in hundreds of different configurations. When it came to drawings, of course I had to do the hot-rodded two-door sedan first: There are a whole lot of more utilitarian versions, but I haven't got to drawing them yet. It's no huge priority.
Anymore pics of the 70 camaro, or some more like it? I am doing a camaro, and I am leaning twords black with flames.
