That was a nice video. If Ohio was not so far away, I would beg to be a member!

Start the Wyoming, IL chapter dude. Hit our main site (www.knights-rule.com), there's links to all our cars and events and stuff. "News" is outdated cuz I'm being lazy, I think on the "members" button there is even a copy of our by-laws. That, and we have the coolest coats in town.

PICS! OK, now this is just fawkin freaky. I have a total of TWO pics of the ghost flames, and when I scanned them, they got all pixelated and goofy looking. Bad enough that the film makes the flames look darker than the car when in reality the flames are actually lighter! The laser red is a tri-coat paint job. Base coat, "Candy" coat, then clear. What we did is lay down the laser red base, then I masked out the flames. We shot those with a vibrant gold called "Vermillion Gold", then buried the whole thing with the candy. Then 6 coats of clear, and presto!

OK, nuf babbling here's the pics:
1 of 2 actual pictures of the flames

2nd actual picture in existance of the flames

"Squshy" looking pic (darn scanner!)

The "Money Shot". By the way, my nickname is "Lucky" hehehe

The sides of my cowl hood.

Since these pics, the liscense plate "BAD APPL" became available, so that's what she wears now. And yes, I know that the apple's leaf would look better green. In fact it was painted green orignally. Then my superstition got the best of me, because green is bad luck on a race track. So I removed the green leaf, and had the painter make a brown one. Superstitious? The car picked up a tenth and a half, and that's ALL I did!

Anyways, hope you enjoy, cuz I sure as hell do!

Oh that's good! I'm gonna use that. With a 12.80 sec 302, that might have been a little brazen, but with the new engine....
