19 owns you (gonna be in truckin too!) worklog!

[expo5.0]

they've been reworked since those pictures were taken, what is it that you didn't like?

it may already have been fixed

 

[Texplorer]

They look good, but it kinda looks like a pattern. Like none of the tips of the flames overlap eachother. Its kinda hard to explain.

 

[expo5.0]

i think i know what you mean, they aren't gonna be everyones favorite flames. there are so many different ways to do flames, he has done a good job of doing what i wanted done.

 

[Texplorer]

Well that is what matters the best though, that you like them. They are not bad at all, just wondering if you were going to overlap a few of them. They look good either way.

 

[expo5.0]

yeah, i'm happy!

remember this truck exhibits the sort of style flame i like in general.

its obviously been tweaked a lot to fit my ride and my colors and everything etc.

but the core type of flame is similar no?

 

[expo5.0]

and actually although i love that paint job, i think the overlaps look a bit akward to me. As do the 1st set of flames overlapping the 2nd. its not bad, its just a bit "off" or something. i wanted mine to be simpler. and because i'm only doing the outline of the flames in color it would look odd with major overlaps

 

[Fish Man]

looking good expo!

 

[mhn3773]

ur only doing the outlines in color? so the middle of each "wip" of flame will be white? i dont get that

 

[etc]

I'm guessing something like this: (obviously in white/blue)

 

[expo5.0]

yeah, it is vaguely similar to that.

ya'll will just have to wait for pictures to see the exact way they are being done.

 

[hydroxy]

you been working on the interior at all? pics?

 

[mhn3773]

drew get ur ass on AIM dude lol...slacker =)

 

[expo5.0]

dude- send me $ slacker...

i have been working on the interior alot. i broke my digital camera and don't have a car to take it to best buy to have them break it worse while trying to repair it under its service plan.

besides ya'll don't need to see pics of me applyin' secret stuff then sanding for 8 hours on each piece etc. its just not exciting.

what you might want to see pictures of though is Mike's truck. since we last got pictures up i finished his box, got it running etc. then made fiberglass pieces for the top of it that run all the way out to the windows etc. etc.

also, last night we did a full seat swap/upgrade to grey leather instead of teh crappy cloth junk. His truck is really coming around quickly.

[expo5.0]

[hydroxy]

I'm assuming the yellow stuff is some sort of tape or something so that he can paint over everything else?


The flames are coming along a lot better then I thought they would...

 

[expo5.0]

yellow is tape
