Is there going to be ghost flames or graphics?
Keeping the Rod Lites?
It's going to be a great looking piece of art!!

Yeah buddy! Your coupe turned out awesome! Congrats. Oh yeah, I'm also mad at you now. Every time I see another black one it reminds me how much I dislike my purple/electric blue. I'm going to have to do mine even if it is a rattle can job.
That has to be better than faded purpleish blue. Ha Ha
