Check out my photo in the first post of this thread. I took the clear vinyl and laid it onto the screen of my laptop and traced the flames on to...
Thank you, honestly I haven't seen too many Chevs that I really liked the flames on. They just never seem just right to me, but I think it has...
I just used a piece of clear vinyl. You could use anything that light would pass through. Even a zip lock bag in a pinch, but next time I'm...
Got everything laid out, now my six year old son says he needs flames painted on his walls in his bedroom.........guess I can't argue with that!

I don't know why I can copy/paste the link right, but search "My 54 hardtop" and the thread will come up.
It is coming along... [ATTACH]
I'll play.....our situations are similar. I had a 53 sedan prior to my 54 hardtop. I too had chopped the sedan and you are right that the...
