Flames on an 8

I was watching Rides the other night and they had some pretty cool flame jobs on some of the old hot rods they were showing.

I was thinking that a cool flame job on a black 8 might not look too bad. Has anyone done this or have pics?

I'm sure someone or myself could photoshop something.

When I have time I might do it.

thanks for the responses. I think if done right it would definitely look good. Of course my 8 is red and i doubt i would ever do it.

I think that ghost flames would look REALLY hot on an 8. Ghost flames are visible in some light whick looks great since sometimes you can see all of the flames and sometimes it looks like they are just licking the car.

I would do some ghost flames if I found somebody capable nearby. That would look sweet.

Theres a guythat lives around here who has a silver Viper with purple flames on the doors. I knowit sounds stupidbut when you see it in personit looks great. Im guessingthat the same would look good on a Titanium Rx8 too. If I see his car around this week Ill take a pic and post it.

That makes me wonder, if you recall the classic paint designs of the fifties and that genre, ever remember seeing a dark blue car, with light blue flames? I have seen a few photos, dont remember where of cars with light blue fron, and the flames nicely receding a little past the trunk, and the rest in a darker blue, was just thinking that would be nice on a winning blue 8 just a thought too
