That color black looks so rich. You must have thrown 50 clear coats on that.

Nice.

But why would he photoshop the wheels off the car and photoshop in the tubular framework?

Incredible paint job Tom! It's pretty incredible that you started with this a little over a year ago. Thanks for sharing your build with us.

That's hot.

Thinjim, it's looking great. You've really put a good spit shine on that car since you've got it to say the least. Love seeing this thing built from the ground up. Keep the pics commin

I don't even want to imagine the price tag on that paint job. That had to cost at least $600 or $700 of Earl Scheib's Finest.

But seriously, it looks amazing man, the flames have depth which make them seem 3D ish and not just 2D paint on a car.

I'm a little slow, most other would have it done by now, but then again, they have larger budgets. Good to see you around.

as for the comment on clear coats, it has 6 minus the wet sanding. any more than that and you risk cracking the clear coat. It is way better to see in person and came out far better than I ever expected.

LOL - I was thinking you've made good progress on a project car in a short time. You're doing way better than I would be doing.
