mannyclub Posted February 27, 2006 Author Share Posted February 27, 2006 Thanks Jairus! I was planing on some other graphics but decided to keep with the burst flames (forest fire) I guess i would call it lol I just got it cleared and rubbed out today, now gonna work on the engine and stuff. Thanks Manny here is an update pic of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowrider Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Great flames Manny. I've seen similar graphics on the killerpaint.com website but I haven't got the first idea about how they're done. Anyone here point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance. Lowrider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannyclub Posted February 27, 2006 Author Share Posted February 27, 2006 Thanks lowrider! Well Mike Levellie is the #1 guy for the true fire flames. I bought his CD ($70.00) on how to do them on 1:1 cars when I do them. I just kinda did my own type simular but on 1:25scale. I have the right templete on order still lol. I am working on putting together a how-to on this based on the truck im working on now. And you know......lowriders look sweet with the graphics!!!!!!!!! Thanks and will keep everyone updated. Manny PS. M.L. now has a templete kit that he sells for doing the flames, last i checked it was about $100.00 or so. (Maybe 5-8 temepletes included) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannyclub Posted March 1, 2006 Author Share Posted March 1, 2006 hello everyone! Well got the engine almost done today. however the engine would fit to big lol so i had to change the whole front chassis, and front suspension today too geez. but i think it looks better lower in the front then it did. THanks Manny Thanks for looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

69chevelle Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Hey I was just wondering how you made those flames. Did you use a template or free hand them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
