Peach Festival Show and Shine
One of the small towns near us had their annual peach festival today. Our Street Rod Club had a great turnout and managed some trophies. Here are some pics I took at the show, hope you enjoy:

One last pic, this '50 Merc also won a trophy. Those flames change colors as you walk around the car. Owner said if you don't like the color just move a couple feet!
Oh yeah, I was fortunate to win a trophy for our Studebaker also...
Of course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!

Thanks, Stu Cool, That is one of my favorite body styles. Guess I am just kind of a Luxo rodder.
P.S. I sure wished the body on my F100 looked as good as that 56.Last edited by Oldf100fordman; 09-18-2004 at 11:19 PM.

Jerilynne,
I see the Merc's owner from time to time. He's not in our club. I can ask him questions if you have specific ones. Those flames are really not Ghost Flames per se. They are more of a chameleon paint in that they are different colors based on the direction you are looking at them from. What I know about that method is it is a multi layer with one layer for each color used. The paint uses a prism effect so that they are directional. Maybe SprayTech or one of the other painters on the board can explain it better.
By the way that car is a driver, he has put a lot of miles on it. He has a few rock chips (worn proudly I might add) to prove it. That is the downside to that degree of custom paint. It is very difficult to touch up.
PatOf course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!
