I like your style Saul. Not everyone is in to this model, and I am not a
huge fan, but I appreciate them. As for the Woodie's, we had a 1971 Olds
Custom Cruiser that was the medium metallic green with the wood vinyl. It
was the 'look' back then.
There are people painting real flames that look really cool, and even though
it would probably be expensive, I would think paint would hold up better if
you could find someone that specialized in it. You would really be taking a
leap if it was real veneer.
