Ya might wanna consider John Deere "Blitz Black" (flat black JD uses on farm tractors) with flames.
I'd say go for the Hooters chicks, but there's only one question, ya gonna paint 'em on or ya gettin the real deal to hang on everywhere ya go? Get some steel and sculpt it like the girlies *hint hint*, weld it to the body and there ya go!
If your goin' after the real deal, I envy ya! LOL...wait I think we all do.

Mikey your getting pretty good at the pic posting! What kind of software are you guys using to do the graphics and stuff?
Did I tell you that we are building a 29 also, coupe though not a sedan, going to channel it 4" and chop it 3"
P.S. its gonna be mine when its done, only fair since he traded MY Pontiac for it!
Rob tells everyone that when he first gets a car its "his", while its being built it "ours" and when its done its "hers"
Trained him good huh??

I think the kit has 12 beers, a quart of gasoline, some matches, and a can of clear spray paint. First you drink the beer then you pour the gas on the car and light it, then when the flames get perfect you spray on the clear so they stay beautiful forever.
It's a pretty complicated process tho and you have to be a native Wisconsin person to have it turn out right.

For you guys down south the kit comes with moonshine and it really doesn't matter if you drink the 'shine or the gasoline. You get the same effect either way.
You don't even have to use the kit for your car if you don't want to. You can flame your lawnmower, your mailbox, your garage wall....you can even use it to put a flamed tatoo in that "special" place. Its great for parties.

I bet it'll make that "special place" glow in the dark!! You "northerners" go first...us dumb old rednecks need to watch for a while just to make sure you "city slickers" aren't trying to pull a fast one on us.

I'm just a dumb ol country boy too. Maybe we could find someone willing to barter some "show me how to flame" time for a couple of car parts.

Debb - Funny you should mention that movie. I was thinking about polling the troops about the name of the flic. I never seem to see the first 10 minutes of any movie I watch and am forever missing the titles. The 53 Lincoln was the star in that movie, for sure. What model was it, a Capri?
ain't too smart, but I sure have fun

Yes, Bruce it was a Capri, just like ours. If memory serves me the first 10 mins of the movie that you missed, lol has a lot of the car in it. Yes it surly was the star of the movie.
Mikey, Rob hates for our lincoln to be called "Hot Rod Lincoln" remember its a Kustom, lol (guess thats why, not really sure why he hates that name so much)
Can't wait to see that 50 Lincoln, sounds really sharp. There are not a lot of lincolns out there, when we had our 53 about 14 yrs ago, you never saw lincolns anywhere, we've had the 54 for 5yrs now, this is its 4th summer out, and they are starting to pop up more often.

Well Deb you were wondering what else you need since you have the potent moonshine. I figured a nice front porch on my freinds motorhome would be a great place to enjoy that fire brew. What a nice way to cruise to your local Redneck hangout. LMAO
