In the future, it's going to need a new bed, as this one's had a lot of collision damage. Next projects are the headliner, bolting in the seats, exhaust, rear brakes, front shocks, and...all kinds of other stuff... O_o
looking good man.
the flames need work though....
1. it's too busy
2. the flame doesn't flow
3. you need to layer,low/highlight

using the blue kandy is good and all but imagine if you only used it to "glow" the white.
after that's done,go back and hit "hotspots" with the white then clear.

the kandy should have been reduced and airbrushed for lowlights.
the intercoat wasn't really needed unless you started masking on AB work.
you canuse intercoat clear to see exatly what you've got infront of you but a lint free rag soaked in mineral spirits will show you the same thing for ALOT less coin.
is iceman trying to tell you how to paint again??....
