Title: Lets play with Photoshop....
Post by: themoose on December 27, 2013, 08:48:56 PM
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 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.

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.

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.

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!
Title: Re: Lets play with Photoshop....
Post by: Senior31 on March 07, 2014, 12:21:45 PM
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  :)

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>>>

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.

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!
Title: Re: Lets play with Photoshop....
Post by: vette59jdwl on May 30, 2014, 03:28:42 PM
  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.

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. 
Title: Re: Lets play with Photoshop....
Post by: vette59jdwl on September 03, 2014, 05:42:50 PM
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

Title: Re: Lets play with Photoshop....
Post by: sixball on November 01, 2014, 04:16:55 PM
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 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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

Title: Re: Lets play with Photoshop....
Post by: munch on December 07, 2014, 09:05:28 AM
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.
Title: Re: Lets play with Photoshop....
Post by: themoose on December 07, 2014, 02:29:57 PM
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.

Title: Re: Lets play with Photoshop....
Post by: munch on December 08, 2014, 08:48:15 AM
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. :-\
Title: Re: Lets play with Photoshop....
Post by: chopper526 on December 08, 2014, 08:57:45 AM
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.
Title: Re: Lets play with Photoshop....
Post by: munch on December 08, 2014, 10:50:12 AM

I like the idea of grey.

On the interior I think tan would be the color.

Post by: 62131 on December 08, 2014, 06:47:20 PM
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.

Title: Re: Lets play with Photoshop....
Post by: chopper526 on December 08, 2014, 08:17:52 PM

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.
Title: Re: Lets play with Photoshop....

Post by: chopper526 on December 08, 2014, 08:50:14 PM
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.
Title: Re: Lets play with Photoshop....

Title: Re: Lets play with Photoshop....
Post by: chopper526 on December 08, 2014, 08:59:13 PM
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.
Title: Re: Lets play with Photoshop....

Post by: 62131 on December 08, 2014, 09:16:40 PM
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.

Title: Re: Lets play with Photoshop....
Post by: chopper526 on December 08, 2014, 10:39:36 PM
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 :)
Title: Re: Lets play with Photoshop....
Post by: chopper526 on December 08, 2014, 10:53:30 PM
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.

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.

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.

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).

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...

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.

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
Title: Re: Lets play with Photoshop....
Post by: themoose on February 19, 2023, 09:04:55 AM
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.



Title: Re: Lets play with Photoshop....
Post by: themoose on February 19, 2023, 09:06:49 AM
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.

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.

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.

^^^^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.
