Flamed 57 (Flossin da new decals)

Post by crazydave »

Nothing too exciting, just showing off some of my new decals, that I couldn't wait to experiment with. :-D

I got my new batch of decals, from radicaldecals.com on Friday, and they looked better than anticipated. I couldn't wait to try them. So I got to work right away, so I could clear coat before bed. Didn't have the time to snap a pic until now. :lol:

They came out great. When I saw these flames on the website, I thought they looked ok, but when I saw them in person, I realized they are the same style I always try to copy. They look even better on the car too. :-o

Oh wow CD, that car looks so friggin nice with those, and if you didn't say otherwise, I would definitely be complimenting you on your new technique. Either way, wow! Course as far as the ride goes tho, that puppy needs different rims IMO to become 100%, but when/if it does, just perfect how those flames are placed on the car.

Oh yeah, what does it say under the flames? Any chance of a closeup?

:edit: where is that track from?

Now that looks slick, reminds me of Tony Christian's pro-stock '57. Those decals match the car perfectly. Just needs some drag racing style rims on it.

@ Finks the decal sponsors are Crane Cams and Hurst Shifters at the bottom, and an Edelbrock above the flames.

The "track" is 8 1/2" x 11", and is paper. :lol:
Something I devised just for taking pictures. I thought it might look more like a real car if it had yellow lines reflecting off it. I like to bend the "road" up into the background because I think it gives it a cool sur-realistic, cartoonish effect.

Here's the pic before it got resized, its perfectly clear.

I think the wheels fit in the "good enough"/functional category. This is my basher car that I race with my kid. I got a custom coming up with one of these bodies and some cool wheels. :-o

Those are awesome dave... That whole style is great.


What happened with the decal on the door? It looks like it didn't sink into the crease very well...

yeah, it didn't on the passenger side. One of the things that more obvious in a pic 3x the size of the car, but I've still been debating running an exacto through the door lines.

Well... That is to say it is the one that gets used lately, and the heavy body is good for knocking my kid's car around. :-o

Yeah, we were just talking about those Alky Hauler decals, and then they arrived. :lol:
Those gasser decals are sooo cool. I can't wait to use those, but I'm not gonna screw around with those.

I had to redo all the trim on the driver's side too. The clear coat seemed to lighten it.

That looks sweet... I've got my black Chevy sittin' on the same chassis right now. I like the way the ThunderCharger wheels look with that body, all tucked in (in the back) & stuff... I want to paint one of those bodies soon.

You kinda have the mini version of this, now...

Hell yeah, hue. Wish I saw that car before. I need to find another die cast with some nice velocity stacks to stick out my hood. :???:
