Flame eater
« on: January 28, 2020, 03:42:39 pm »
Getting back in the swing of things after being down for a while . Did a little work on my first flame eater today still got to do some touch up work after the paint dries good .Not sure if I like the red are not. These are cool engines I may have to get a few more. I really enjoyed meeting a lot of you folks at cabin fever looking forward to a lot more shows

very nice, I've never seen anyone paint one of those before Stewart, this is the best flame eater that PMR makes in my opinion. 😊

I like the look of the red also, just not sure how well it'll hold up to the heat. Did you use VHT Flame Proof header paint? It's rated from 1300-2000 F.
PMR makes the best flame eaters and I see your's is one of the newer models looking at the base and position of the port.  Don't they sound great.
