Hello everyone! Well this is one of my newest projects im working on. Still in the works and planing. Im dropin a bigger engine in there also.

Bed is all aluminum scratch almost done just some final fab work etc.

Black base color is by HOK. Will be using other colors for graphics also.

Inner grill section was removed. Front bumper was smoothed out. Hood scoop was molded in too. Im hoping to get alot done on this before I move at the end of march lol

Thanks for looking

I was planing on some other graphics but decided to keep with the burst flames (forest fire) I guess i would call it lol I just got it cleared and rubbed out today, now gonna work on the engine and stuff.

Thanks

Manny

Great flames Manny.

I've seen similar graphics on the killerpaint.com website but I haven't got the first idea about how they're done.

Anyone here point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks lowrider!

Well Mike Levellie is the #1 guy for the true fire flames. I bought his CD ($70.00) on how to do them on 1:1 cars when I do them. I just kinda did my own type simular but on 1:25scale. I have the right templete on order still lol.

I am working on putting together a how-to on this based on the truck im working on now.

And you know......lowriders look sweet with the graphics!!!!!!!!!

Thanks and will keep everyone updated.

Manny

PS. M.L. now has a templete kit that he sells for doing the flames, last i checked it was about $100.00 or so. (Maybe 5-8 temepletes included)
