Art & Inspiration The Photoshop thread to end all Photoshop Threads!

How about a Bailon style tube bumper? I matched it a up with a tube grille, but you could use anything. Here's
Bailon's Sonny Morris Merc to compare.

 

No way! I love what 1Bad51Merc has got going on!

 

let's revisit this one and make it my own.



first, let's take buzz out of the picture. i have 40 ford style 16" wheels, 4" wide in the front and 5-1/2" wide out back. maybe make them copper in color and shod them with 7.50-16 in the rear and 6.00-16's up front firestone bias ply deluxe champions. blackwall please.
my T body still has the original patina'd dark green paint. make the roof all black. i'm not sure about the white band at the cowl/firewall. was thinking on making a vertical finned aluminum firewall for the mostly visible top half. the deuce grill can stay.
so can the chrome side exhaust. maybe do a better representation of a cast Yblock rams horn exhaust manifold. the valve covers i have are polished vertical finned. that should do it for starters. i picked buzz's car for the amount of chop and it's stance.
one last thing, i'm free to your guy's interpretation if you have better ideas. just don't go cutting the roof off this one madfish

 

Thinking of getting much taller tires for the rear and a little taller in front. And I don't have a current profile pic of my car as it is in my avatar if you can make it red so I get a better idea of the taller tires. Appreciated.

 

Radius the front fenders to match the rear !!!!! you'll like it !!!!

( wish Chevy would have, on Cars and PU's )

 

thanks @themoose what other ideas would you guys come up with?

 

Thank you, moose!

 

copper wheels aren't working for me. maybe another color but don't ask me what. i have a degree of color blindness that negates me me from making correct decisions. i'll probably end up rattle canning them a satin black and not run any caps.
so maybe a version with satin black wheels with chrome lug nuts.
i know, i'm taking this farther away from the show rod and leaning heavier on the hot rod.

moose and the rest of you guys rock, i, for one really appreciate all you do on this thread.

 

Could this get better wheels and the bed and rear fenders reworked to glow better with the front half

Putting a different grille on the front of my roadster meant making a new hood and side panels. Since I can’t match the old purple color I’m thinking of making it all black this time. I’m also wondering how the car would look with painted grille bars, either black like the rest of the car, or yellow like the wheels, or another color. Thank you in advance for any efforts to adjust my colors. HFH.

 

Just a few changes to the bed, front and rear.

 

@hfh

 

Thank you so much!!

 

Could you please add some red scallops trimmed in black. Thanks

 

Thanks Moose. If you don't mind could you reverse the red & black. Sorry and don't mean to be a pain but want to check out all options before paint. Thanks again for all you do !!

 

OK no problem...

 

Thank you very much Moose. Looks great

 

Just my opinion but I like the black scallops better Too.

 

Those upper rear door corners are killing me. Any chance we could see what they would look like if they were rounded?

 

From another HAMBer's thread:

"About a month ago I pulled this 1939 Merc out of a barn in Utah, it was built during the 40s and 50s by a couple of brothers. They chopped, channeled, shortened and sectioned it. Has a lift off top from and old Chevy. Last time it was registered was 64. Has a V8 265 motor. Here are some pics."

Anyway, I'd like to provide a bit of inspiration for him. Can I see this shot with a two tone (gold roof and rear body with dark emerald green on the shorty door and front end)? Of course it needs a trunk lid. I can't tell what kind of bumper is sticking out of the trunk, but if you can, go with that. Otherwise, use your judgment. Maybe some '52-'53 Lincoln caps for something different. White walls or blackwalls...? Not sure what to do with the rectangular rear window.

 

Just one more favor. Could you please make the wheels black with the black scallops. Thank you..

 

Been playing around with two tone on my heap, like this maybe. If I do, something I could remove would be nice. The hood and bed sides are flat, the doors are compound curve. Would wrap work, or something else like that, and come off easily enough? Can a guy with 10 thumbs put that stuff on?

Before photo included if anyone wants to suggest something else. Or tell me to just leave it alone..

 

Leave it alone . . .

But you could put a sign on the door . . .

Leave it.

 

Maybe start delivering for Napa.
