No joke, it really is custom. I had to make a mailbox out of sheet metal when I was in street rod and custom fabrication in school. I finally got a digital camera, so now I can show off the bad ass paint job I put on it. Enjoy. 8)

hey, my friends love that stuff and I can tolerate it. I used to like it a lot, but not so much anymore. I've graduated to Guinness!

Thanks. Thats the first thing I ever painted. It took me almost 6 hours to get the flames laid out the way I wanted them and masked off.

I would have, but my teachers wouldn't have given me any points for that. I was actually gonna just leave it bare metal and clear coat it, because I didnt use any body filler and I wanted to show off (you'd be suprised how much body filler others had to use), but again the teachers wouldn't give me any points for that.

They wouldn't have given you points if you used yellow and red? Did they have to be done with only certain colors?

not that, I had to paint it completely, no primer.

Plus, I got more points for ghost flames than I would have gotten for regular flames
