Art & Inspiration Help: Need really old flame pics

Does anybody have any pictures of the first flame job that Von Dutch did? Wasn't it a gullwing mercedes or something like that? I know I've seen it before, but now I don't really remember for sure.

Can't forget this one, HOT ROD magazine's first cover car.

 

From 1956..

 

Here's another two to add to the thread.

 

Some more I've found:

 

One more of that roadster:

 

Bad pic but early flames on the sportscar in the background...

 

Just remembered I had these of the Ayala Brothers truck:

 

Sorry... another one. These are stored all over the place. Gotta get organised.

 

I agree.

The ones on that 40 Ford sedan above are killer.

I say go that route and leave the "octopus tentacles" in the history books.

 

I don't think Dutch did the flames on the Berardini coupe, but he did do the striping.

 

Dutch was also responsible for the work on George Sein's Barris built 5 window known as "The Flamer". Apparently Dean Jeffries did the striping.

 

From the same issue of Car Craft and featured on the cover of Rod Builder and Customiser was this roaster belonging to Tom Pollard, which still exists today:

 

The Flamer is alive and well and owned by a guy I've known for 40 years in Pueblo. Missing all the flames now, but still has the Jeffries striping on the dash. He plans to restore it back to the little pages days, and is making good progress. Never really cared for that type flame design, but it is different.

 

Here's Jeffries 33 Ford - good looking flame job

 

Here are some more, this time the Rod & Custom magzine dream truck before it went to the Jeffries workshop.

 

A bit more subtle on Gordan Stefans 1955 Plymouth.

 

Bud Parham's '25 Ford.

 

Jim Lytle's 32 5 window, Jerry Sprague's 32 roadster, George Collins' 32 (in the park) and George Cerney's 32 Tudor.

 

Here's some old style flames that I did on a sprint car restoration . www.pwhetstone.com

 

This is from the the great new interview with Radical Ray Erickson. Here's the link:

I know it is on the front page now, but people in the future might be interested.

 

Wow, this is an old thread. Perhaps we could discuss early to modern scallops, too? Gary

 

Sure, I'd love to see some early scallops.

 

Here's some Weesner art that is currently being brought to life by a Hamber.

Here's the link to the build:

My 35 and a another Chevy lurking in the background

 

I've taken the pics from this thread, added a hell of a lot more and started a dedicated thread, to also include scallops.
