On the HAMB site they have a thread where members can post pictures of their cars and ask if someone might volunteer to use their photo editing skills to make whatever changes they have in mind to the photo of their car before they pay big bucks for those new white wall tires or start chopping away at the actual car . I really enjoy seeing the before and after pictures and have even tried to do some Photoshop work myself with varying results. I thought something like that might be a nice addition to the Rustry Bowtie so go ahead and post your photo edit requests here and lets what happens.

Moose, that's a great idea for a thread here. I like some of the pics that come out of Photoshop. This one isn't Photoshop but just to see how my car would like like in a black & white photo. There is a reason for this which I'll post later this week.
-
I too, enjoy watching those clever photoshop guys on the Hamb. I look forward to watching here.
-
I am not on the same level as the guys on the HAMB, but I do use photoshop to mock up stance and chops of vehicles. Here are a couple of my current projects. I photoshopped the chop on my 34 and then dropping my 64 wagon. I am willing to help if someone has a request, but I am not that great with color changing, but I will give it a shot.
-
Nice job Senior31....I hope someone takes you up on your offer. I really enjoy both seeing the transitions and occasionally playing around with Photoshop myself. Lets get the ball rolling.
Moose
-
Okay, one more example. Someone wanted to see what an A pillar on a 33 would look like laid back 10° so I made him this. If anyone has any requests don't hesitate to ask.

Email sent to you Senior31.

cocobolo,
I am not done, but I wanted to give you a little sneak peek. I chopped it 2" and dropped the car about 4". I also changed the rake to about 1°. Like I said it is not finished, but wanted to let you know I am working on it. I hope to do some more this weekend with the other views and a couple different wheel/tire combos.
-
senior..can you block out the rear windows to give it the sedan delivery appearance,,, very nifty...FATnLOW

Wow! Thank you! I'm most impressed. Yes, if you could block the back window that would be good.
I know you said you had difficulty with paint, but red would be nice if it's possible. Thank you again, it's looking great!
-
Didn't know if you guys just wanted the window filled in or eliminated. So, I did both. Not real clean, but you should get the idea.

Let me work on the couple other views first and then I will give paint a try. I have been trying to do paint on mine for awhile and you have the same patina that I do. You have to first eliminate all the patina and then work with the colors. Here is one I did of mine in red very quickly. It needs a lot of work, but I did it in about 30 mins :)
-
Nice work Senior! Going to give Cocobolo some incentive to get going on that 35.

No Kidding! What I'm really waiting for is the weather to warm up...and guess what...today is supposed to be the day we finally get above freezing!!!!
-
Alright a couple more quick ones. If I get time this weekend I will work on lining up the belt line on the doors and hood and then add a few more touches.
-
After checking out what you did on blocking out the window and giving the appearance of a Sedan Delivery on Cocobolo ride
got me thinking of doing my 33 as a Sedan Delivery, with the working back door. Did this on a 28 ford and I thought it looked and worked really well. Gonna give it some serious thought..... SENIOR thanks for the vision of what our ride can be......FatnLow>>>
-
Senior, that is just too cool for words! Thank you indeed!
-
Sorry for the wait, but work has been crazy of late. I still can not quite figure out how to make the car look right in red, but here is what I have come up with so far. I also added some chrome steelies.
-
Wow! Just about time to take it for a ride! Thanks senior! :D
With all this inspiration floating around it must be time to start a build thread. I'll try to get around to doing that later on this evening. Still trying to catch up on the Honey Do list.
-
Can anyone put fenders, running boards, and a hood top only on this picture for me?
-
Like this?

Exactly moose. That's what I'm talking about. Now how about a rag top for it, but with a stock or taller windshield. HEHE
-
That thing looks like a matchbox car! Fantastic.
-
Ghost, Is that car yours? Please post more pictures and information about it. "25-"26?

Naw I wish. It's a picture of a buick I am styling mine after. I do have the nailhead for mine, but I want fenders, uncut windshield and ragtop.
-
ghost28....Here are a couple of color options for you to ponder.
(http://i428.photobucket.com/albums/qq7/themoose524/Other%20stuff/blackTop2_zps8fcce846.jpg)(http://i428.photobucket.com/albums/qq7/themoose524/Other%20stuff/whiteTop_zps93f8ddb3.jpg)
-
WOW YOU ARE THE MAN. Although both color top are nice, but with that black base body I am leaning towards the black top and rethinking the windshield height. Thanks...John
-
It looks a lot like my '26 Chevy. Well, mine isn't that nice, and never will be, but the lines are very similar. Good work Moose. Maybe I should just get some nice pictures and a 3D printer. ;D
-
I know its not a early bowtie .But,it is GM. is there a chance you could drop the body 5 inches and cut the top 3 inches and place 5 inch whitwalls on it ,a continental kit and fender skirts.PK and paint it either burgandy or silver, thanks vette59jdwl

The pic's that you provided were a little low on resolution so I grabbed a different one and made the modifications you were looking for. I hope it gives you some ideas. Here is the before and after shots.

-
Moose thanks it sort of looks out of place with the roof chopped and not the body suppose i will have to put air bags in it to get it down on the ground.I am either going to use the 15 inch buick riviera wheels or the wire wheels with wide white walls 4 inch or larger. I purchased a 14 inch from a GS car and cut that in half to fit the continental kit. Also with skirts.I bought a pair for an oldsmobile and will have to cut them down to fit. thanks wayner
-
I always wanted a Coupe De Ville like the blue one...just Classy looking cars!
-
Ed. The rave around here is to take the coupe de ville cut the roof off them and get a rag top from whatever and graft them . I have seen them done where you could not tell the difference like the 72 montie carlo convertables. GM never made one but they do exist. They were cutting the roof off them and using chevelle ragtops from a wreck. I have two cadillac Broughams one an 81 silver 350 oldsmobile and one an 84 with the 4.1 liter alluminum V8 engine Eleganze.I am more or less making a pimp mobile out of the 81 .But i will also utilize it as a trailer hauler just for laughs and they do so ride like you were on a cloud.
I just got home from a fishing trip out on lake ontario,and on the way home i spotted what looks like a 30/31 chevy coupe light blue heading into Kingston. Looked like a full fendered car and looked prety sharp.I was headed the other way.I am searching for a 54 chevy half ton truck or 3/4 ton truck front axle juice brakes and springs.
-
I was thinking of putting Torque Thrust D wheels on my coupe but really would like to see what they would look like before spending the money. Thanks in advance .
-
I like what you have only thing is where are the caps that come with these wheels they are sharp I know its not my car so you do it your way vette59jdwl
-
How bout these Vette, I'm running them on my coupe. I like the 3bar spinners.
-
Dugeman its not the best pic but

It would look something like this........
(http://i428.photobucket.com/albums/qq7/themoose524/Rusty%20Bowtie/torquethrustD_zps499d70cd.jpg)
-
Thanks Moose, that will help me decide.
-
Dugeman I like the three armed spinners as well, but put them in the corvette centers or the chevelle centers that fit that style of wheel.That would be sharp. O purchased the three armed spinners from summit and made them to fit the new cragger SS wheels on my 59 and they sure are sharp and old school. I guess i am giving up my age AH lol lol vette59jdwl
-
This photo was taken before the glass was installed . I do run the small hubcaps on the car right now but can't find trim rings to fit the 4 1/2" front rims . I just registered and insured it and past the NSRA 23 point inspection. Now I am enjoying the hell out of it.
-
Sammons and myself are so sure that we have both said these are corvette stock wheels could be bought in 6 in. 8in. and 10 inch check for the center caps for a chevelle or corvette.Then put the three arm spinners in the center or leave them plain
-
Dugeman try this go to www. autoamenity.com and 'SMILE' vette59jdwl
-
These aren't stock chevy wheels they are Summit wheels ,made a little different than stock wheels. But thanks for the web site got some info on measuring for trim rings.
-
Glad to be of help ,and i am also sure there are guys out there that said, hey man that's what i am looking for. have a great day

Nice, Moose, I think I like those torque thrust's. I think they will be on the "short list" when it comes time to replace my well worn Cragar SS's.
-
^^^^
I think it makes the car, I like it.
Tom
-
Moose,
Can you try my car in Victory Red (Chevy color) and the Corvette Burgundy? These are the two colors I'm thinking about. If I do the Burgundy I might add some silver ghost flames on the fenders.
Tom

I have a set of torque thrust d for sale if interested.

-
Nice work Moose! I think I like the bottom one the best.
Tom
-
Tom...I was thinking the same thing. The color seems to fit the style really well not to mention that I've always had a soft spot for flames on a hot rod.
Moose
-
Moose,
You're getting pretty good with that software!
Tom
-
Tom I agree on the burgundy, gives it a real classy-rich look. Moose done it just right, love the suttle flames. That really accents the rest of the build.
-
I agree, with those wheels the darker color looks best. Now if it had steel wheels the same color as the body with small center caps and beauty rings I think I'd like the red. 8)
-
I like the maroon one also ,but i already have one with gold ghost flames Now for the Red one i sure would think if you accented it with black and through in some gold colored flames it would surely brighten it up..AH shucks there both great wait a go MOOSE your the man vette59jdwl
-
Thanks for the complements on the artwork guys but what really makes it look good is that I started with a great subject.
Moose
-
Before I had flames on my car I asked a photoshop guy to show me what flames would look like - he sent me this! (and I absolutely love it! :)
-
Talk about realism !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o
-
LOL LOL LOL MOOSE Rusty Bowties
-
Moose how about that charger green and putting 29 front bumpers on it just for sh__s and giggles
-
When I opened this I thought oh crap!!!
-
That some scary looking crap right there. Thank God it's not real.
-
Moose how about that charger green and putting 29 front bumpers on it just for sh__s and giggles
I don't know if I should do that. I'd hate to have to make Tom's wife break out the smelling salts. ;D
Moose
-
I walked out of a Raley's store once to see a crowd standing around my '53 pickup with that amount of smoke in the cab. The horn relay had shorted out and I didn't have a master fuse. I do now. Luckily I had a crapy battery that bled out just ahead of the real flames. ;D

Tom, I too like the burgundy, although the red is a little flasher. Moose, awesome job with the photoshop!
-
I like the red, let's see it with ghost flames.

Chopper,
I think the only thing that I'd change from the burgundy picture is the grill would be chrome. I thought about the red but after seeing Moose's rendering in burgundy I think it fits the car.
Tom

Ok here it is...I don't Tom will mind.

Green was the original color of the car. You can try it but that burgundy will be hard to beat!

Tom..Are you talking about the whole radiator shell ?

-
That did it. Tom I believe that's the right look for your car, stance-wheels-color, awesome.
Moose, I don't know how you do it, but it's damn good!
-
Moose I think you hit the nail on the head with that paint job! I like the light color on the lines and easy on the flames.
But I think Tom will have a hit no matter the color.
-

Moose, you nailed it!!!! Sorry Tom, now you have to do it this way ;)
-
Moose,
Thanks that is exactly what I was looking for! You guys are right I think it fits the car. Now to save up the bucks to do it.
Tom

WOW.
-
Hey moose do you think you could put the street rod black top on the stock buick with the tall windshield? I am trying to decide if I need to chop the windshield frame for the look or not.
-
Moose
Can you show me my 30 in the burgundy that you did Tom's.
-
Munch...Ill be happy to give it a try but if you have a photo with less shadow and a higher resolution it would work better. Let me know..If not I'll get started on this one.
Moose
-
Sorry Moose, I do not. But I can take one this weekend if its sunny.
-
OK Munch...I'll hold off until I hear form you. I looked better at the pic you posted and it's so pixelated when I blow it up to work on it that I can't see any detail at all. Might come out looking like a "FORD" ;D
Moose
-
I definitely don't want that, I'm a Chevrolet guy. :)
-
Moose,
I drove to a school lot to try and get a sunny picture, but I'm no photographer. Still looks dark. Can you use any of these?
-
Moose,
One more
-
Munch
The lighting is pretty good now but the resolution is a little low so they're a little pixelated. I'll see if I can clean it up a bit and we'll see how it comes out. You should get a pretty good idea of how it will look in the burgundy
Moose
-
Thanks Moose
-
Munch are you going to paint the whole car purple?
-
no, it was purple with red trim. You either loved it or hated it. I am looking for suggestions.
Moose has graciously offered to see what it looks burgundy.
-
I'm thinking of painting my 32 with a dark blue body and the lower part black, fenders running boards splash apron
-
I bet it will look great.
I can't make up my mine, I thought black cherry with black fenders and running boards, root beer, etc. and can't decide.
-
Ok munch...Here's the burgundy. Kind of tough to get good detail and correct color with a low resolution image but it should give you some idea of how it would look.
Moose(http://i428.photobucket.com/albums/qq7/themoose524/Rusty%20Bowtie/3_zpsdf0426b6.jpg)
-
Another color combination I like is sun burst orange and black to me its a real eye catcher
-
Moose,
That looks great, I appreciate your taking the time to do this.
-
That looks real good Munch, what color is your interior?
Moose I wish you could paint he cars as easily as you shop them.
-
I don't know about the interior, I'm open for suggestion on both. Maybe I need to start a contest to help me choose. :-\
-
Well, with that color exterior, any interior color would look good. Black, tan, grey, even white. I think my preference with maroon/burgundy would be grey or tan.
-
Chopper,
I like the idea of grey.
-
Moose,
I don't know anything about photo shop, so if what I am asking is a hassle just let me know.
Is there a way to tint the color like the attached photo?
Thanks
-
Hey munch...How's this?
(http://i428.photobucket.com/albums/qq7/themoose524/Rusty%20Bowtie/darker_zps000b3a5a.jpg)
-
Moose,
Thank you so much, I'm sold... It looks great.
-
On the interior I think tan would be the color.
-
That sound good, I like tan. What do you think of the color?
-
Would you call it a brandy wine, I like it as I'm parcel to the red tones. My first thought on my 32 was a burgundy. But my wife is a Ky. fan so blue is where I'm going with this one.
-
I found the picture of a car that color and Moose put it on my car, I really don't know what the color is. But, I like it....
-
[quote I like tan. What do you think of the color?
[/quote]
I like the body color, and with a tan interior WOW.
-
Thanks Ghost, like I'm totally sold. Now when can I afford it???
-
I like the exterior, and the interior I am a coin toss between tan and grey, but I am leaning toward tan because this exterior color is closer to red.
Since we are talking colors let me ask you guys. My car is going to have a black interior, now for the exterior I was thinking either black or yellow. Don't laugh. I'm not trying to be American graffiti, but I am looking for a more traditional, simple color scheme, single stage. what do you guys think? Don't pull any punches.
-
Yellow
-
Chopper why don't you see if Moose will photo shop it for you in yellow?
-
Poor Moose, you are in demand.
-
When you are recognized as a artist as Moose, then your service's are in high demand :)
-
Moose needs a break, his fingers are probably raw and he is seeing double. Maybe down the road.
-
Chopper I like yellow are you talking canary or a pale yellow as there many different shades
-
Plymouth used a yellow in the early 70's that I like. It might be too bright, but I don't want a yellow that looks washed out or faded.
-
Do you know what brand of paint you will be using?
-
Yea, Duplicolor spray cans ;D Nah, I'm not sure yet. Like I said a simple single stage something or other. I'll start doing a little research after the new year, I would like to paint it in the early spring.
There's a couple cool threads over on the HAMB about guys who painted their cars by brush. I don't think you could tell the difference.
-
Chopper....Give me a view of your car that you want to see and I'll see if I can do yellow...Gonna rain around here tomorrow so I need something to keep me busy ;)
Moose
-
I have a buddy who painted a 26 ford with $300.00 worth of rattle can paint. He said he bought all the Dupli-color black paint from all the auto parts stores and even called Dupli-color and told them what he was doing and they sent him a case of paint for free in exchange for pictures. Surprisingly enough it looked like it was done with a spray gun in a booth. He said he did it a panel at a time and black was black and put it on heavy and buff the hell out of it.
-
Chopper....Give me a view of your car that you want to see and I'll see if I can do yellow...Gonna rain around here tomorrow so I need something to keep me busy ;)
Moose
Thanks for the offer, Moose!!
How about one of these? Whichever is best for you. No rush, and if you can't get to it, no big deal. Thanks again. Jim
-
Chopper your body lines look to line up very well.
-
Hours of cutting, welding and grinding. :)
-
Has all the wood been removed?
-
Yes, there wasn't much wood left when I got the car. I took it all out and replaced it with, mostly, 1" square tubing. I got a lot of guideance and tips from guys like Moose, Ghost, Munch, TFoch. I'm glad I used the tubing, it is very sturdy and my wife let me buy a welder :)
-
Almost no wood framing, although the floor was all plywood with no subframe. The body was basically bolted to the frame. After I got the car home and dismantled it, this is what I sarted with.
-
Chopper your body lines look to line up very well.
The body lines sometimes had to be coaxed ::)
-
You've put a lot of time into it, when I purchased my car there was three pieces left in it and I have removed them now. Like you I've put heavy wall sq. tubing in it's place.
-
OK Chopper here she is in yellow..I took some artistic liberty and added some tinted windows for effect. I would have had it done sooner but we lost power this around noon and it shut me down for over 3 hours. I think it looks super in yellow
Moose

-
Moose I'll tell you before Chopper can. That looks great and I think Chopper will be impressed ;D
I like it, you had better keep your talents hid or you will be covered up with cars to do.

Moose, thanks very much, that looks INCREDIBLE!!! I think I am sold on yellow. It's just what I am looking for! I will probably leave the frame and firewall black, but now you made me want to tint the windows. Awesome, thanks very much, you are an artist! Perfect! Let's break out the spray gun ;D ;D
-
Now that looks real nice ;D
-
Chopper...I figured I'd better make the way you want it to look so here's another one to ponder.
Moose(http://i428.photobucket.com/albums/qq7/themoose524/Rusty%20Bowtie/blackframe_zps35dc8c7d.jpg)
-
Moose, you're too much, man!!!!! That's it!! Thanks. (it must be raining real hard where you are at :))
-
Chopper that will give you something to think about for awhile
-
Moose, I sent the pictures of the car to my sons, they went nuts "Yes, yes, let's do it, Dad!!"
-
Chopper that will give you something to think about for awhile
I don't have to think about it too long. Now I just have to decide on the shade.
-
I mean it something else to think about while deciding on the shade
-
Chopper....Sounds like your fate is sealed...Time to start studying those paint chips. ;)
-
Chopper I think Kirker has a color close to that.
-
There's a Sherwin Williams auto paint store a couple blocks from where I work, they have books of chips. I'll be paying them a visit after Christmas. Thanks again, Moose.
-
Hey Tom...How about something a little "Artsy" to hang in the garage?
Moose
(http://i428.photobucket.com/albums/qq7/themoose524/Rusty%20Bowtie/bw_zpsb17abbef.jpg)
-
Nicely done!!!
-
That's Cool as hell moose! Very nice, but....... now your going to have Tom busy for a while washing the surf off ;)
You and RH will have to get together and open an art store :)
-
Very nice Moose! Definitely worth hanging in the garage right next to my Rusty Bowtie calendar.
Thanks,
Tom
-

Sixball,
I have a 3D printer at work. All I'd have to do is create a 3D CAD model of your roadster and we could print it out :)

You guys are stating to scare me. By next year Tamara may have a 3-D Plasma Cutter/MIG rig and who knows what we'll be able to buy in the Rusty Bowtie Store. ;D

I agree. And I like the side curtains on that picture of the 32.

Now don't start giving her any ideas!!

Just got back from a week's vacation, Moose I think you may be wasting your talents. That looks great!
-
MOOSE I thank you I thank you and once again i have a little request could we go back to the 32 chevy roadster could you please make the trunk lid and the upper part of the belt line all a much darker green including the top part of the hood and the doors in the hood sides all dark green
Thanks MOOSE ....vette59jdwl
-
MOOSE that funny rust colour between the two greens is suppose to be gold or gold leaf thanks vette59jdwl
-
Could anyone Photoshop these wheels for me ?
I have the paint mixed in a can ready to go.
Im trying to do a two tone and can't decide how I want it.
Paint scheme's I had in mind.
1. Black center------ Olive drab green (glossy) lip.
2. OD green center---black lip.
3. Just OD green.
-
Hey Moose, would you please add one of these, or all Nuns into this pic of the penguin sign.
Use your imagination, thanks mate.

Rattiac... How wide do you want the lip or paint color break to be?
-
This is for the lip.

That would be a lot funnier for me if it were a berka clad group of middle eastern women with AKs and rocket launchers.
-
Thanks very much Moose, that's great.
-
This is for the lip.
The images are a little low in resolution to work with but this should give you a good idea...
-
Cool. Thank you a bunch. 8)
Now I just gotta decide which to choose.
1, 2, or 3
Poll::::
Which do you guys like best ???
-
My pick would be OD on the rim, Black center. :)
-
2 OR 3, just my 2 cents..
-
Those remind me of the set I built for my Morris Minor woody. They used 14" Chevy station wagon chromed outers with satin black MM centers. They looked good.
-
They are 90's jeep Cherokee wheels, called sawblades.
I like the "artillery" look they have.

Hey Wayne...I don't know how I missed your request but as the say better late than never... RIGHT? ??? ? ::)

I would say #2
-
Moose, I have had much positive feedback, and laughs from your work.
Thank you again, and if there's anything I can do for you, don't hesitate to ask.
-
Mooe that's a good color combination. Kudos to all, and I still love that picture.
-
Thanks for the complements guys...As you know I enjoy doing this stuff ;D
-
Hi Moose. I was wondering if you could put some grey 5 spoke american torque thrust wheels on my buick for me?
-
Here ya go ghost
-
Thanks moose. It looks like I am gonna sell the wheels and tire that are on it so I can run that look.
-
Moose maybe you can make a few of my one dollar bills look like 100's ;D
Nice work!
-
Ghost I like it! Nice work Moose ;D
-
I like the look too, I'm running the Torque thrust II gray centers on my 32
-
I'll have to say, the Torq thrusts do look better on there. ;)
-
Thanks guys it's gonna happen. I just ordered them.
-
Very few cast wheels look right on hot rods. That style looks good on almost anything that leans toward a performance build. For me the basic visuals are wheels/tires and stance. If that isn't right nothing else can fix it. Those look good on the Buick.
-
Photoshop is good fun. Here's a pic of my Buick when I had just bought it and gotten
it up on the trailer. And a first try to see how it might look lowered with a bit of rake and
a visor. Still very distinctly GM and looking good.
No need to chop the top, it looks good as it is, in my opinion.

(http://www.waasadata.com/buick/img/buick002.jpg)
Here's a more recent try at making a sketch of what is to expect from my build.
Hoodless, 3 degrees of rake, slotmags that I had just acquired and a nailhead V12
(would be awesome btw, pity Buick didn't make one).

-
^^^ That looks really cool!
-
I like it! Keep posting.
-
It is tough to get modern wheels & tires in the right spot on the big old cars but if you don't place them right nothing else you do will make the car look good. Photoshop is a great tool for getting it right.

So true. sixball I'm hoping to get it right.
I did a lot of measuring and trying different placement of the rear wheels before lifting the body off the frame. At one point I was thinking about moving the whole rear wheel arch and fender forward about an inch or two, but in the end decided against it. After all that measuring, the rear axle landed where it is now. The result of this decision can be seen many moons from now...
-
We'll be watching! :)
-
I was playing with Photoshop again, trying to hot rod a car that is the same model and even color as mine.
Sorry for using a pic found on the internet...
(http://www.waasadata.com/buick/img/orig.jpg)
Green with black fenders. Like mine, but gorgeous.
I'll keep the fenders, I've widened the visor slightly, ngled it up some and put some custom shape into
the center of it.Lowered the headlights of course. I'm planning on a vertical tube grille. The whole car
will be black, maybe with classic flames. Oh, and two vipers. The right hand one actuated with a rod
from the driver's side one.
I'm going to run it hood less.
I mistakenly forgot to delete the bumpers, those make it look way too Resto-roddy for my taste.

Looks great! I like the wheels. @themoose on here is really good with Photoshop!
-
Looks good!
-
the stance is right
-
I used to enjoy this thread but I haven't seen too much activity as of late. I'm sure someone here must have some request of something to offer. :D
-
I miss it too! Got to put themoose to work! You did these for me a while ago.
-
My car was originally forest green. Could you "paint" it for me please? Would like to see what it would look like in it's original color.
Thanks, Tom
-
Hey Tom I did a search for forest green and I found hundreds of variations so I picked one in the middle of the color spectrum. Hope its close to what you had in mind.
-
Tom just for the heck of it I did one in blue...Let me know if you would like to see any other colors.
-
Great job. I like the green. MY '26 was originally green but not that pretty.
-
Thanks Moose! I do like that green! Might have to consider that.
-
Wow, great work themoose! I like how you got TFoch's car to look shiny, and the coloring really works.
-
Thanks for the complements guys...If anyone else needs to see anything just let me know and I'll give it a try.
-
I'd like to know what kind of bundle of parts/pictures it would take to mock up my '26? I'm sure Photoshop has limits.
-

Yep, me also. I may never get mine finished in the time i got left🥴 I've got all the pieces just not all together at once. Being stuck in my garage, hard to get away far enough to get an overall pic.
In the mean time, i've got the old 1963 b&w pic of Dads '34 standard. Would like to see it in black. Mods being a 4" wider rear tire, i believe it had 6" tread and i would like a 10" rear tread. A set of sprint car chrome headers, orange motor. Grille shell black but grille trim chrome with black grille.
A pic of mine with Sprint car header for referance.
-
That is a nice coupe!

OK I finally got some time to play around with your project and here's what I came up with....
-
Thanks Moose! Great job. I can tell from that...i'm going to need more chrome and pinstripes on mine😁
Dad was a color guy. I think i only painted 2 of his cars black, 50 Merc and a 67 GTO. Both were black to start with.
-
Nice!
-
Moose, i showed that to my Uncle. He said your dad would have painted it red, he's right. Hate to ask, could you change that from black to bright red? Our go to red was 71 Mustang 2B bright red.

OK...Here ya go...
-
👍 Thanks Moose! Yep, that's Dads style right there😁
-
Nice work!
-
Thanks for the feedback guys.. Keep those requests coming.
Moose
-
Dang!
themoose, the glossy paint job on that coupe is nothing short of amazing! very well done!
-
Looking good Moose!
-
Really ice. I like your dad's choice of the Plymouth hubcaps, one of the "poor man's Moons" choices.
-
Thinking about sending Moose my picture so he can show me what I would look like 30 lbs lighter!

Hey Ed...Even Photoshop has its limits :P
-
^^^^lol 😁
Sixball that and Olds Fiestas flippers sure were the go to cover back then. Chrome wheels were out of reach for most. When you ran shy of Plymouth caps you got the cheap chrome aftermarket imitations. I remember new car/ horse trailers came with the chrome ones.
I still have a stack of chromes, and 5 or 6 original Plymouths, problem is they were 14". I seen Speedway was offering them in 14" & 15". Might have to get a set.
Dad's '57 Ranchero had orig Plymouths. Uncle Jim's '57 Chevy had the chrome ones. Somewhere i have a pic of Grandpas new 2- horse trailer with the chrome ones also.
-
Moose your talent is showing.
-
Sammons these Studebaker caps were popular too. My brother put a set on the family '50 Plymouth 2 door. Looked pretty good.
-
Moose your talent is showing.
Thanks Much!!!!!
-
Hey Moose,
My son bought a laser printer and wants to experiment with it. Can you take this image and just have my 33 with a white background? Then he could print an image of my car.
Thanks,
Tom
-
Hey Tom I'd be happy to do that but I will need a much larger image than the one you posted below.
-
