    "Something old...something new" flames

     



    Here is a job about to go out. Stayed with a classic shape, but added an inverted 3D effect. More pictures when it's done.

    Thanks for the kind words. It's more about determination and practice, than raw talent.

    I see young guys starting out that have much more natural artisitic ability than I had. It's just that if you practice something for 40 years, you are bound to improve. :-)

    That's what I say to a few of the racers who show up at Firebird. "There's only one thing wrong with this car, it doesn't belong to me"

    I like it!

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    Thanks. I had done his new Toyota truck in this 3D style, and his wife liked it enough to go on the new roadster. It has Kameleon inside the flames, but this low on the body, it will only show up occasionally,

    Just drop it in a box, and mail it! LOL!

    Seriously, I do bikes from out of state, but it's only about $70 each way, including replacement cost insurance coverage!

    Thanks. What you can't see, until I get better pictures outside, is the Kameleon inside the flames. Here is a picture of his truck, which I did a couple years ago.
