flamepainter Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Another Chevrolet! Built this a while back. Pearl White with red flames (don't remember the exact color) all acrylic craft paints. Cut the mask for the flames by hand (not an easy task). No wiring on this one, just wanted to show off the paint. Everything out of the box. Thanks for looking.

mustang1989 Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 That's a good lookin' car. Would love to see more pictures of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamepainter Posted May 11, 2022 Author Share Posted May 11, 2022 Thanks to all for the positive feedback. I didn't actually paint the flames by hand but I did draw and cut the stencils for them. Thanks to all that thanked me for my service in the Navy. I spent 22 years there and do not regret a thing. Also thank you to Peter, Zippi and any others of you who served in the military. Thanks again for looking. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Hay Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Nice build! Not to nitpick, but that's a 39 Chevy, not a 38. Flames are awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TransAmMike Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Cool old Chevy Jim, great job on those flames. Thanks for your service....I can't even imagine what it would be like being underwater for hours on end!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't sure and don't have the box anymore. It was a long time ago. Thanks for the info. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the compliment. For the record, we (the crew) didn't spend hours underwater, we would be submerged for more than 2 months at a time. It isn't for everyone.😬 Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
