Real flames or better yet, ghost flames would look great while keeping it classy and not over done. Regardless, congrats to Doc on having one of the best looking trucks on this forum (or any other forum).

Barf!... To each their own I guess. I loved your truck as is, very clean. Don't need those ugly flames.

If your asking for opinions....ghost flames done right or no flames at all. I would hate to see the truck get slammed later too. I HATE lowered trucks.....but to each his own.

thanks for everyones opinions..

i know not everyone is going to like what I'm doing but I like it...

i think that once its on the truck.. and outlined with more hot rod prinstriping... then it will come out great..

BTW ramphreak.. my truck is already lowered... but i dont plan on ever going lower

I just like the old school hot rod look... if i could get some old red steelies i would put those on as well...

anyone can get a black truck and debadge it, buy a drop kit and put some rims on it... im going for being unique... work wont start until a few more days and we might work with the flames a lil more...

thumbs to Doc on having so much fun modding his toy
Have to agree with that maybe he will swap wifes for a bit so I can have that same type of FUN

Good for you. I'm sure you'll be happy with it when you get it back.

If I did that to my truck I would do Ghost Flames.

i like it, it's 1-off. For all the people thinking of ways they would paint the flames on their own truck....why dont you paint your own truck then..

Good **** Doc

I think it would look better with real subtle ghosted flames.
