    Yea you to the visitor center to get info or you just drive the park and follow the signs ,but you are better off getting the map I cant remember if there is a fee for it but it worth it and there are places to park and walk up to see

    Alright cool. yea, the last time I was there was a field trip in like 9th Grade or something so I didnt really get the whole experience like when I've been with family.

    Maybe I could find a detour on the way home and get a little dirty.. :mudding::burnrubber:

    I have been in talks with a company that does custom work. I've been thinking on getting my interior pieces hydro-dipped. I think it would look pretty cool in some kinda black/gray pattern. I have also been thinking about ways to get my truck to really stand out...
    What would you guys think about black and gray real fire, airbrushed on the entire front end. It would cover the whole bumper, grille and most of the hood and fenders. No red or orange.. just black and gray?

    Personally I think it has potential to look bad ass. However the wife thinks I am ridiculous and is trying to talk me down from "ruining my truck". Thoughts??

    I'd do the flames in black and gray. I don't like the red and orange either. My truck is all black and silver. And to wrap the front end is out of the question because the shop that is going to sponsor my truck doesn't do wraps.

    I would hate to paint the trucks front end and hate it. Ya dig?

    Yeah. I tried to find a truck or car in the paint job that I am looking for and it doesn't seem that there is anything out there in the same manner that I am looking to get done. Mostly hot rods and muscle cars with an overwhelming amount of red and orange flames.

    Its a tough call to just sand down the truck and paint it. It sucks that I can't find someone that has done this before. I'd hate to turn this free paint job down but it's looking to be that way.

    Silver Ghost flames look amazing if its done well, and they don't look ridiculous. However, if the guy doing paint has a crappy day they look terrible, in the end its your call an you can always have it repainted if you dont like it.

    Nah. It's legit. I think it's a good idea honestly. But I am going to think about it prety good before i decide to go with this because it could be a disaster if I don't like the final product. The guy can airbrush real good but it's my truck that is going to look completely different. Everything I've done to my truck took getting use to. But this is more or less perminate.

    Realistic airbrushed flames are awesome if done right and subtle like ghost flames there's a few vehicle around here with them hard to find there's used to be a cycle shop in the area the one guy was really good at airbrushing flames
