first draw the flames on the outside of the body with a sharpie. do one side then copy it on the other side if you want it even. then line the inside of the body with masking tape (use the tan masking tape not the blue stuff, you can not see through the blue tape). cut out the flames with an exacto knife on the inside of the body. it helps if you have a light box or table to make seeing through the tape easier.

if you are just doing flames on the hood or side of the body you could trace out the perimeter of your area on paper, design the flames on the paper, cut it out on contact paper and lay it out on the inside of the body. also get clear contact paper not frosted, you can not see through the frosted really good. hope this helps! i want to see the body when its done!:018:
