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

Trying to decide if I can make this "driveable" or not, so I'm here asking for some help...how about an al***ude adjustment, some saltflats (or your choice of wheels) and redlines or just blackwalls...Thanx.

 

Slam slam it. Wheels tires. Drive drive

 

One lowered and wheels and one with a haircut...

 

Here is one I did a few years ago. Unbolt the fins from a Stude Hawk and bolt them up to the Lark. Lower it, paint it, and add the wheels of your choice. Instant custom!

Euro Lark: Chrysler Hemi, 4 speed, Corvette suspension, Red leather interior with Recaro seats, Boriani wire wheels...

 

Love this one, Madfish, The new grille really sets it off.

 

That looks terrific Madfish.

 

Yup, Madfish, love the Euro look, but not sure I would want to spend the Euro $'s !

 

Thanks, James. That's high praise coming from you. Hope all is well!

 

For Southerncad - here's a '60 Lark Hardtop drawing I did many years ago. Stock Lark trim from rear of door forward. Modified '55 Chevy trim and paint divider on rear quarter. Also has after-market Lark fender skirts.

 

Respect to the photographer and owner, believe it to be one of the Bones cars, if someone could work some magic on mine would like to see a black top or tan top? Thanks

 

Thank you so much! Maybe someone else wants to play around with some different colors? I like that color and scallops, but my wife does not.

 

I found this photo. It’s pretty close to my idea on the hood/center grill.

 

@Unclebrad

 

Can someone photoshop my black steel wheels in something along the lines of like a Wimbledon white?

 

@Randman
Here is a different take on the baby Lincoln. In 1942, DeSoto introduced the first flip-up headlights on a m*** produced car. Lincoln planned to copy the idea and designed the front with a flat panel. When the bean counters ni**ed the idea, Lincoln was forced to use the sunken headlights. I put the flip-ups back in place and used the DeSoto grille since I already had one in the digital garage.

Here's a bit of a different color combo that the wife might like better.....

 

Thanks, but the scallops are the main thing she is complaining about. My daughter would probably love that purple.

I welcome other grill ideas. That Desoto is a good choice.

If I am going to put Merc style headlights on it, I’ll just put a whole Merc front clip on it. There are a whole lot of “Mercs” out there that started life as baby Lincolns. Remember I said I might make round headlight covers? Removing the headlights might be one of the last changes I make, so let’s not get fixated on it. I believe Photoshop is a great way to explore ideas.

If and when I fill the headlight holes, the headlights will be located at the those bullets on the Dodge grille halves. I may increase their size with other, larger bullets, maybe 57 Chevy maybe bigger, like a 56 Packard.

 

I dont know if Im allowed to borrow pics online but i really want to see a 37 Dodge truck grill or the famous fordson thames grill(37 Ford truck lookalike) on a fenderless 30 Ford coupe with hoodsides. Just want to see if it can work. Car in question is 4inch chop, slightly raked channel, tire rake.

edit: maybe one can play a little with the pic of Eli’s coupe. A slight channel, a bit more rake and a full hood.

 

@LarsL

 

Thats bad***. But i would like less channel. Dont like the rear tires over the body. But hey, it Works.

 

@LarsL

 

Here's a Channeled version....

 

Thanks.
The Dodge grille dont work as good as the Thames/37 truck one in my mind.

 

With the real marron the placement of the headlights sure are different…

 

I like this, but I feel like there might be a bit much height in the nose, above the grille in particular, there's a lot of real estate and the front corners of the fenders could be softened up. I guess this would involve a tapered section of the nose of the car. Personally, I never liked that metal 'moustache' that the Lincoln has above the grille either, so that's gone too.
