It's one of those paint jobs that looks OK on someone else's goat, but not mine

Beautifully done! I certainly can appreciate the talent it takes to do such a thing. With that said, I can't find the words to describe how much I hate it!

Default Flame jobs

That's a nice paint job. The guy did a good job.

I like George's response. It's quick and to the point. I'm not a pilot, but I think that flames are unpopular with the aviation crowd. I see that he has an airplane as his avatar.

I don't mind being corrected on this one, but flames seem to be more popular on bikes and cars. I've never seen an airplane with this paint scheme.

Boats don't count because the engine is not usually forward mounted.

Sincerely,
Greg

Sure came out nice GREAT job but I like the stock look. Maybe on a Rat Rod.

i think its a nice paint job and works pretty good for that gto but i think it would be hard to find a starting point for the flames to roll off the front and actually start and it looks like whoever did this struggled but managed to do pretty good. the actual work though is excellent in my opinion

You can appreciate the amount of time that went into doing the flames. The quality of the paint work appears very very good. Saying that i would much rather see those flames on a 32 or 34 Ford Hot Rod or chopped and lowered 50-51 Merc. Just does not do it for me on a 66 GTO.

Wouldn't do it to mine! There are well done but belong on a rod.

Would look better on a street rod but man that is talent. I saw that Mike Levalle up in Washington State that does that and it is amazing.

Hey Paul, your car's on ebay.

Flames only look good on street rods, race cars and maybe street cars w/ big rugs. Unless your car is tubbed with a 14 x 32" or bigger, dont do it.

Just my $.02.

I like the Flames. Very nice work. I do like my car plain.
66 GTOs do not need flames to be tough. They already are.
I would like to learn how to do that.

I like the flames, just not on this car. I think they would look cool on a 51 Merc.
