After 6 months of body work and other associated crappola (Y'all know what I mean-> "while I have it apart I might as well..."), it's finally here!
These were taken in bright mid-day sunlight today. The flames will be more subtle in different light. In fact, as I was driving it home, I could hardly see them at all because of the angle I was viewing them from. They were sprayed with tons of pearl in the clear coat. If you get really close to it you can see flakes of all sorts of colors, but the overall impression is a silvery gunmetal like color.
I'm very happy with the shapes and the overall quality of the job. It's not perfect, but based on the steal that I got the job for (less than $2K for some bodywork, spraying the whole car, and the flame job) I'm thrilled.
I'll post more when I get all the chrome and stuff back on it, but here's how it sits right now.

I've been trying to get tips on what to look for. I'm going to have my 97GT redone. You're car looks great from the pictures, can't wait to see it all put back together. Some interior shots would be nice too. Thanks.

What makes you say it's not perfect? When I get mine done, I'd like to know what to look for.
Thanks for the compliments guys! I'm so glad to have it back and shiny!

How long until you get it back together and have some pictures on here for us to see?

Cool, I'll be looking forward to it. Thanks for the info on the paint. I can't wait to get mine redone. I have a couple knicks and chips I want to get fixed when it gets painted. You know the ones.....other people don't really see them but they stick out like a sore thumb to you. Have a good weekend.
