Flamed my hood this weekend - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

dubie · 06-21-2004, 09:49 AM

Please be kind, I'm a first timer

I only had time to get the hood done this week because I ran out of blue fine line tape and couldn't get anymore till last night

Give it to me straight, what do you guys honestly think??

**Palf70Step** · 06-21-2004, 10:06 AM

Looks good Dubie. You still plan on doing the fenders?

dubie · 06-21-2004, 10:12 AM

yep, I was planning on doing them this weekend, but ran out of time. Hoping to get at them this week

**Bowtie468** · 06-21-2004, 10:35 AM

gr8scott51 · 06-21-2004, 11:39 AM

Looking good Timmy! Did you get flames out of the exhaust this weekend, too?

billsbowtie · 06-21-2004, 11:44 AM

*Slams_58* · 06-21-2004, 12:31 PM

great job tim

ronh72c10 · 06-21-2004, 12:41 PM

Looks good, did you free hand the flames?

Ron

dubie · 06-21-2004, 12:42 PM

I taped them off using 3M 1/8" fine line blue tape by doing freehand. It's a real ***** to do a mirror image on the other side.

70ChevyLongbed · 06-21-2004, 01:00 PM

I like them... the thing I like the best is you did them yourself

Good job.

ronh72c10 · 06-21-2004, 01:07 PM

I spoke to a vinyl sign cutter at the flea market on the weekend, I expect he could do a right and left tape outline for flames. Might be an expensive way just to get the design masked off though. But about the only way I'd be able to do it.

Ron

krue · 06-21-2004, 01:39 PM

Looks good man!

dubie · 06-21-2004, 04:09 PM

All it takes is practice with some tape to get it right. I layed out flames on my beer fridge, deep freeze, Shawnas file cabinet, tool box, did 2 helmets and I started drawing flames on everything I could find

It becomes a damn addiction. Our 6 year old son even wants a monster garage room with flamed walls. He's the coolest

Thanks for all the encouraging words guys. I wasn't so sure of myself when getting into this painting thing, but your encouraging words sure help

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 06-21-2004, 06:43 PM

Those look damn good can't wait to see the side's of the truck done.. If you want the side's to b the same try chalking them...

**BOSS** · 06-21-2004, 06:52 PM

Awesome Tim,you deserve a big pat on the back!!!Cant wait to see it all done.Congrats on the progress.

buckola · 06-21-2004, 07:30 PM

I thought the wildest thing to come from Flin Flon was Bobby Clark !!! Guess I was wrong!

Nice job.

**Canadian694x4** · 06-21-2004, 07:46 PM

Looking Good Dubie!!!

TODDS 72 · 06-21-2004, 08:45 PM
