Alright guys- We just added a pinstripe to our '51 Sedan Delivery and now we are thinking we need to add something on the front of the hood. Any ideas or photoshops are welcome. Or should it stay the way it is. We don't want any thing radical. Subtle like the one we just added. Here are the pics. Let me know what you think

Personally I don't think they should go all the way to the nose. They should just run along the sides up the the front fenders. They look nice though. I like the flames

^^^that's it, remove the v-stripe on the hood, run it along the fender to the headlight

with the lines of the car it won't work. The rolled fenders do not have a place that would allow the stripe to look right.


I had the idea of a celtic cross or something of that effect would look good.

Right now we're leaning towards removing about an inch of the stripe right in the middle and turning it upwards and putting another set of small flames.

I agree but make it two tone..........

I would love to 2-tone the whole car (Candy Tangerine on top with a silver stripe to break it up and black on the bottom. It would look sick) but I do not have the time. Its getting shipped to an auction in Reno on Friday.

How about getting an airbrushed version of the factory emblem they were using that year with some flame work in it?

It wouldn't be an old car project without working on a deadline!! Been there done that. Post us up plenty of pics when you figure out what you wanna do on her. Good luck!

Will do. I don't think it will be to crazy though since we only have a few days.

Yeah i know about old cars and deadlines. We have 18 cars that are going to Hot August nights auction and we have a few that are no where near done. We have all been working from 8am to at least 10:00pm 6 days a week for the past 3 weeks. Its killin me.


Keep the ideas coming guys. The stripper is coming again Thursday so I have a day to brainstorm
