Show me your classic flame jobs. No ghost flames, no tribal flames, no 'realistic' flames. I want to see old school yellow/red/white flames like this if you've got em. Sent from my Pixel XL using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
This was the first (and only) time I tried painting flames.. 10 years ago this year. I painted the flames on with Krylon spray cans.
My second car in high school, I was only 16, this is my rattle can flame job, I couldn't afford to have it pinstriped though. As you can tell by the hood scoop this was post 1965.

A lot of you guys seem to forget that this is a pre 1965 website...70's, 80's and 'Ohio' flames are OT.
Here are a couple pics of a flame job I did on a friend's 27 T roadster in 1974. As he didn't have a heated garage and it was February he simply moved the car into his living room and that is where we painted it. Used heated alklyd enamel and got overspray everywhere! I think Cheryl is STILL finding it when she cleans house.
I wanted my coupe to resemble the models of my kit building days around the late '50s - early '60s, including the style of flames you may have seen included in the decal sheet; so here I am laying them out: And, this is the result: Dave
Love em... I used to draw pics of rods when I was in high school and I always drew flames on them just like that! Sent from my Pixel XL using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I had a buddy fla me my 41 Pontiac and couldn't find anybody local to stripe the flames so I did it myself on a hot summer afternoon. The 1 shot dried about as fast as I laid it down....and I must have been having a spaz attack that day because the striping came out terrible! I liked it for about 5 minutes and then I was over flames.....sold the car.
I've no idea what era mine are? Solid purple with light blue on fenders and tips, and yellow pin stripping
