Are those ghost flames airbrushed from the side grille openings ? I realize that you have already mentioned changing the exterior paint colour to something you find more appealing although I believe that is awesome now but your car and it seems a shame to rub down a good coat of paint before it has seen the odd chip from road use.
paint is actually 15 years old

I'm going for a modernized street rod.. adding power windows, already has shaved door and trunk handles, putting in a high end sound system as well.

most of the car is done, the builder started it in 1994 finished in 2002, then started to rebuild it in 2010, but he is 88 years old and his heath is catching up with him, he has a 1932 Ford Coupe, 1935 Chevy Grand Master and an all original 1957 Nomad. He is selling the '32 and I think the '35 when he completes it.

He wasn't actually selling this '39, I went to look at the '32 and I fell in love with the '39 so I offered him his asking price on the '32. he wasn't initially interested but called me back a month later and asked if I still wanted it.

he gave me all the parts to complete it, but there are some that I am changing up that are more inline with my taste.

while the paint is actually in very good shape, I'm just not a red car guy..

and the flames are hand pin-stripped, by him. I won't be messing with those, I will leave the base of the car red, just do a black top and hood, and possibly black fenders.

this style, but in black and red:
