This is some really cool flame work from the West Coast, I am leaning towards this style to be painted on my HHR

That has to be one of the nicest real flame paint jobs ever. I love how they did black tribal flames over the real flames.

That would be a 1932 Ford, most likely a Roadster, but can't see that part.
