well the car is a F&F 70 Monte Carlo, so the kit was opened and all that was there were lame lowrider wheels and fruity dub style wheels so i reevaluated the car, so my Buddy Jeryd tryed some experamental ghoast flames and they turned out "i think" great,expecly since it was done with just spray cans, cheap and looks great lol, so why stop there, he scratch built a cowl scoop and a ghoast flame was applyed there, well since i didnt want a low rider or a dub, i decided to go all out and tub this thing, here are some pictures of the body i was very pleased with the shine, as you can see in the pic of the roof it reflects the camera and that pic was taken 2 days after it was painted well enof blabing, enjoy let me know what you think

Well i am glad you like the paint josh! Happy to help my bud! It was a first try for me at trying do a ghost flame, and a the second cowl hood i have made. It was just a practice paint job, and wasn't sure if it would work! I am glad ya like it, and after seeing the mock up pics i love it! I just painted it, now you have the hard part, and the most important stuff ! I should have kept it now after seeing your engine pics! Looks good what your doing! I know it will be awesome! Now get it finished!!!!! Any chance i can have it back when ya finish it! lol!
