Hello.......thank you all for the kind comments......I painted a spare body Alclad to practice on the flames.......this was a 20 minute practice flame job.......I will take my time and try and do a good job on the build body......thanks for looking.

What did you do for the flames? Did you mask off the flames and clear the rest of the body? It looks pretty sweet.

John......I masked off the flames and shot Dullcoat over the rest of the body.......thanks

Wow, John. Looks like you found the way to duplicate the aluminum-on-aluminum look of the full size car. You are the Alclad master.

Did you gloss clear the Alclad before you masked it ? You can't handle the Alclad that much can you?

Pat......No, I did not clear coat the Alclad........Yes, you can`t handle the Alclad that much......when I masked the flames.......I attach the tape to the skin on my arm to eliminate some of the adhesive of the tape......but,enough adhesive to mask the flames.......thanks
