who is this John guy?
he a member here?

**Chevy Fleetside** · 06-09-2009, 08:07 PM

I knew that ghost picture was somewhere. I knew I wasn't going crazy.. And those flames are down the side of the hood and on top of the doors and on the tops of the fenders.
Joe.. I dont know if you joking or not but I am another John on this site. ... Heck I have been John my whole life..

joe231 · 06-09-2009, 08:22 PM

oops, I didn't know you were one of those "Johns"

I was thinking, that truck is the same color as Chevy Fleetside's

those flames are bad-ass!! tell me again, why you were trying to change the color of your truck

These pictures give you an idea of the flames.
I remember people looking in my picture album at the show that I put on the truck. When they got to these pictures they did a double take to find the flames. It took me 6 hours to tape this off.

WOW!

so in this pic, it has flames?

that is how the ghost flames are supposed to be....what did you use to paint them, clear pearl?

**Chevy Fleetside** · 06-10-2009, 09:26 AM

Yes the flames are on in that picture. I used violet pearl in the clear. I sprayed them on to thick and it took alot of sanding to knock them down. I sanded so much my finger tips bled.

Awesome!

**Chevy Fleetside** · 06-11-2009, 04:50 PM

Update... Now my engine is the color I want it. What do you think? I am either going to leave the water pump black or paint it aluminum to match the intake.

joe231 · 06-11-2009, 05:02 PM

I like the water pump black...

oooo....and I just noticed the blue inner fenders...very cool!!
