i think using stencils to do flames is like using stickers for pin stripes. This said, i dig "The Gold Digger" thats how that car is called right? And Bob, your other son old shoebox, the one in satin black w/ gold flames, that car was pretty neat. and weird too, but in a good way.
This photo was taken in 1996 and is of a very early sectioned shoebox now for sale in FL. It's now all black with blue wheels.
Me and my dad just did our first flame job a couple of months ago. The flames were free handed using 1/8in masking tape. They still need to be pin striped. Sorry for all of the shit in the background it my grandparents place......What do you guys think?
