Thanks to Acadian, I came up w/ a photo chop of an 05 w/ realistic flames, and am now seriously debating on spending more money on my 05. :scratch: We started discussing realistic flames on my 05 in another post since all of my other mustangs have/had flames on them, and then I decided to make the chop. What do you think? Not about the quality of my photochop skills...LOL, but the look? Probably would do some flames on the bumper and hood also. This is just a chop like the Jesse James truck w/ the flames coming out of the wheel opening.
Their is a guy that lives in my town that does realistic flames that look pretty good, so I'm thinking about talking to him. I'll keep you posted.
Also, here's a pic of a buddy of mines fox body mustang that they guy I was referring to, did. I think this was the first realist flame job he did. It turned out pretty good, but they look ALOT better now.

I love the look of realistic flames on black, it's finding someone that knows what they are doing and being able to afford it is the tough part.

And where is the pick you are talking about?

Look up Mike Lavallee, absolute best true flame artist in the world IMO. You've probably seen him on Overhaulin with Foose.

On a side note, a Mike Lavalee true fire job on my black mustang is making me drool at even the thought.

Don't know where you live. But check out hireman (Bill) on the post with the flamed ponys and plenum covers. His work is top notch and he may be willing to take on a whole car....

I agree .....

Make sure you find the best of the best to do it .....

And I would NOT just do the side piece like in that first picture .... you have to blend the hood into the fenders and doors. Just don't over do it.

The guys that did mine to TONS of real flame jobs. The natural Gas Blue flame color looks UNBELIEVABLE on black. You should consider that. I think the orage flames look better on the reds and lighter colors.

my 2 cents.

I think it would look bad azz just don't go overboard like on that fox. I can't wait to see some real photos of one with a real flame job.

Do it Bucky, you're going to let Curtis do the job right? I think Brad's fox looks mean as heck.

No offense, but that fox looks like crud.

Get Bill Coogle here to do it, or contact Mike Lavallee.
