A guy wants to buy the engine out of my '94 and said he would do some airbrushing on my '98. I was thinking some ghost flames would be nice. What color do you think would look good with Light Toreador Red? Or maybe some other type of graphics? He is going to get rid of the pinstripes too.

Honestly, I'd just go with a pin stripe delete and leave it at that. Car looks good like it is but would look better without the stripes.

I was thinking something like this, kind of subtle.

Those flames on the vette look cool. Do what makes you happy, it's your car.

I've always liked Lonnie's Mark VIII ever since I first saw it.

So you're swapping the motor for the airbrush work?

If you're dead set on getting some flames just do them so they are barely visible and really subtle. Something like this wouldn't be too bad.

They look kinda cool on the Vette. If they were very subtle it might be cool but I am on the single color bandwagon.

Bill, if it makes you feel any better, I took your sig pic weeks ago and put it on HP Advanced photo paper with a HP Photosmart printer and cut it out. It's laying over on my dresser right now but people have seen it and they know nothing about Marks and they love that car when they see it. "Who's car is this" is the first thing they say.
