Got the flames pin striped.

I redid the flames on the doors and some clear coat. A guy in Moab named Pete Hughes helped me lay them out. Now I'm taking them to a person for pin stripes. I'm almost ready to paint the whole car.

I'm trying to lay out the flames for the doors. I decided not to lay flames past the door into the rear quarter so I don't have to deal with panel alignment later on. I pulled the doors off so I could really focus. I just keep laying down tape and pulling it off. Been through about $60.00 worth of t...

Painted the dash this evening. Not perfect but I don't think I can do better. It's tough to get that right.

I've been working on trying to get the flames laid out on the dash board. After I get the dash done I think I can assemble all the panels and start to paint the whole thing. It's tough to get time because there is so much to do as Spring comes here on the ranch. We're having baby calves born every d...
