    a lot different when you go for a big item, like a full size car. so, as stated find anything to practice on and way to match everything on both sides. good start.

    Thanks for all the compliments guy! I wasn't sure at all if this was something that would turn out OK or not.

    Unibodynewbie: I am doing this for a silent auction at a car show that we are going to. So unless you want to come to Williston ND on May 12th to bid on it, your out of luck.:)

    My next attempt will be on the door below that's in the old part of the shop. I figured flame will be really appropriate for it since behind it is the heating system for the shop.:D

    That's a nice looking mail box. It'll be a good way to make some extra dough to fund your project!!

    Thanks! Also I forgot to mention in my previous post that the car club hosting the show is doing the silent auction so there's no money for me as the funds will go to some worthy cause.

    But since I am in the restoration business it's just a little bit of extra exposure for us.;)
     
  15. I love traditonal "crab claw" style flames! Very nice.
