interesting...looks like a lot of work went into the paint and such.
I'll have to be honest and say I'm not a fan of the horse on the hood...doesn't look real enough IMO... the horse's mouth looks odd to me. Also, it looks as if the flames are mostly red...there needs to be more orange in there to make them look real. but, don't listen to me much on style...I like the plain Jane sleeper look. and please dont take this as me saying I could paint better...I couldn't even come close to what you have there.
I bet your car turns some heads!!!

we did use all candy red for the fire because of the red interior, thought it would flow better.....I had some real fire stuff under the hood for a little while and didnt like it as much as the candy red. Because the horse is defined by the fire its hard to get the detail in it that painting a horse would give , that would stand out too much IMO....we went for the evil hellhorse look...LOL!!! Your right, it does get some attention wherever it is and done really well at the few shows I have taken it to so far...were now figuring out what to do for a motor...I really want 700rwhp and still be able to drive it around whenever I want to :-)

I think that the all red works a lot better then making realistic looking flames. It's not something I would go with cause I just like a good 'ol solid color, but if I wanted a design, then thats something I could live with. Good job, looks pretty mean.

yeah, thats one of the top choices were looking into. I agree about the brakes, I did the 0-60-0 at the year one experience this year and was in one of the top cars stopping , 0-60 was like 4.49 and it was spinning through most of 1st gear but the stopping was as fun as the 0-60 portion ;-)
