really I didnt know that was going on...I remember him making some headers for some people and doing seat/int. work.

Best of luck to him...I would rather buy from him with how well he builds around things with quality than a "kit".

Looks gorgeous, it really does. Incredible job...


The only thing I'm on the fence about is the painted white plastic Mustang rad cover.
It's not bad.

but that's me being picky.

Tell you the truth, I am not 100% sold on it either. You know me, I'll see if I can work up some magic to make it work!

It gives it a REAL clean slate, which is good. Think of the potential: carry over the flame job, put a decal of some sort (name the car and make up a logo like I did ), etc.

It's tough. It really is. I was thinking of a few things to suggest, but it's not easy.
I don't know how well a polished one would look. The black looks nice, but stock... and the white looks a bit too clean.

Now that's an idea.
But how do you incorporate that without going over the top?
or making it look cheeseball?

I think something like this would be a nice touch on the rad cover. It would break up the "too clean" look that has been mentioned. I even think a subtle color choice like this would look nice. Obviously this shows a valve cover, but something similar could be air brushed onto the rad cover. Of course you would have the immense task of deciding on a name! lol

A log or the flame carry-over? If the logo, that's simple - make it simple

If the flames, I think most would have to be orange since that's the dominant color, and even leave half of the cover white. Add a little bit of red behind the orange or add some of the red flame "chips" (like the ones breaking away on the doors) at the top of it and call it a day. One can easily mess that up though, so I'd definitely draw out some plans first.
