The Packard is, in my opinion, the best of the bunch. Flames, much like pin stripes, have their place. They don't fit every body style, but with the right build they can certainly enhance the paint job.

My current project will likely get flames to complete the rat rod look. Thanks Solon for another awesome video. Looking forward to more as i am looking for my next project ride.

Flames on cars.... I do like it but it depends on the car. Not all cars are suited for flames. Some just don't look right. Then it also depends on the style of the flames... traditional, ghost flames, true fire, to name a few. But all styles don't look good on the same cars... like I said it depends on the car
