Got any sketches of the design to show us? I think it would be cool to do myself but a sketch of it would be nice.

That car that Franken showed is CRAZY!

I'm thinking about doing ghost flames too but not till after
about a year or so. The paint is already so chipped up that
I may have to bump up the schedule...but I was thinking
purple ghost tribal flames on my BOP box.

As for your question, I think if the skull is very gothic, then
yeah, that'd be cool.

Ok I am confused. I always thought ghost flames were a shade lighter than the paint on the car. Thus making it tought to notice unless the car was in the right light. But if you are putting silver ghost flames ona blue car. then isn't that just silver flames ona blue car. The silver will totally contrast the blue.
