Project finally making progress!

So for a little back ground. My dad bought this car four years ago for $400 from a woman whos son beat the hell out of it. The car had been through a gas and go involving a cop chase and was driven into a ditch. When he bought it there were no brakes and it barely ran home which was just across the street. We put lots of tlc into it to make it run well, and then it went onto the back burner. Now its got a new paint job and all of the dents taken out. It isn't done but getting closer all the time.

In the last pic you can see the ghost flames that we painted onto the front. You can't see them as the car drives by but if you're up close you can see them.

We did all of the work ourselves and sprayed the car in a friends paint booth.

Thats pretty nice looking. Ghost flames are subtle enough to not be cheesy on a car w/ less than 150 horses

Thanks yeah we put a lot of work into the body. The right fender and door were thrashed from hitting a deer. We put a new fender on and the dent in the door was pulled out.
