i then airbrushed the edges of the flames to fade them (i mixed silver pearl in with the toyota black used to base the flames and thinned it a little)

Nicely done...so are you getting ready to do the car in the background, or just make all of the other snowmobilers jealous

lol that depends which car your talking about, i did all this at our family body shop..the blue car is an OOOLLDDD desoto ambulance/herse thing with suicide doors...and the primered car is a 69 camaro thats going to paint next week..and in the booth right now is a 60's-70's gto full restored...and outside there is a 50's-60's ford project truck with a built 390..haha..

and yes hopefully i can make some people jelous!! especially since im only 16!
