Got them on my '65 wagon. I bought the car because I liked the paint job and was looking for a wagon.

Stock tires on a 71 or newer Roadrunner look like toothpick legs and tiny feet on a wide load *** like in RC's pic. I have tried to like that body style, but the ONLY one I have seen that I like had giant fat tires in tubs under the fenderwells and side ground effects. THAT one looked GREAT! The biggest factor to acceptable appearance on that body style is big fatties inside the rear quarters. Just my opinion, no harm intended.

I bought a car i liked, despite having the third-worst flame job i've seen. It's so lame, it's not even on the right end of the car. It's not getting out of the garage till they're gone. No flames on anything I own ever again.

My 600 lb life. On the way to Houston to see Dr Igor. Not much looks like that. They usually drive a Chrysler Minivan. Those poor seats!

IMO depends on the car & the style of flames...

not all builds can pull it off & look good

not all flame jobs are equal, some just plain suck
I do like some of the true flame stuff,
if it's not way over done, subtle stuff
like Mike Lavallie{spelling}, from Wash. state

it has to fit the build style

I use to like it on old 20's-30's-40's coupes done correctly
& Willys gassers etc.

not really on a daily driver type build,
the over the top yellows, reds, whites & oranges can overwhelm
the rest of the car

Ghost flames in a stripe or something is OK, on the right car

IMO great for a show or race car. Not so great for a driver. I found that I was paranoid about taking my truck out in fear that it would get a ding or door dent. Consequently, I hardly ever drove it. There's no enjoyment in staring at it and dusting it in the garage.
In the end it's what you want that's important...

Same here! This is one my son did. Personally I really like the ghost if they are really faint.

Inflation on the West Coast is getting ridiculous!
