Hot rods and flames are very common, but a flamed out muscle car is a whole different type of cool! In todays world of numbers matching, over restored american muscle I long for the old days, when a tunnel ram and a flame job made your camaro, mustang or cuda the baddest bitch on the block! How about some pics of real american iron with some classic flames to set it on fire? I stole this pic from the web just to get it started.
the Chevelle was a Hot Rod cover car and in all the shows in the 70's. it still looks exactly the same. I have seen it at Goodguys over the years. I have pics somewhere but they may be on film
Seen a lot of lace, endless lines, fades, murals, custom candies of all sorts and shades, etc, etc. Can't say flames were much of a thing on the muscle in these parts. That Chevelle is a beauty though! Had a '69 myself so I might be biased...
Yes! That is what I am talking about.that black 70 camaro is almost perfect. I dont know about the gold as the base for flames, and the endura nose should be painted flame color, but aside from that it is perfect!
damn... I just saw the Chevelle SS cover car in August of 2024 in Pleasanton. I remember the HOT ROD cover from 1995 but not what I saw last summer. my C.R.S. is getting worse.
One of my ongoing daydream projects is a design of car for open-source, open-ended, IP-free decentralized manufacture, capable of being made in hundreds of different configurations. When it came to drawings, of course I had to do the hot-rodded two-door sedan first: There are a whole lot of more utilitarian versions, but I haven't got to drawing them yet. It's no huge priority.
Anymore pics of the 70 camaro, or some more like it? I am doing a camaro, and I am leaning twords black with flames.
