Photoshop has got to be the greatest tool for hotrodders outside the Mig. Costly modifications can be made with a squeeze of a mouse. Expensive mistakes can be avoided with the delete button. The skills of photoshop artists are incredible and put my lame attempts to shame. I'll share a few of mine to get the ball rolling. If you need a little photochop work done and you feel more comfortible with a welder, Maybe, just maybe if you ask nice and post a good picture* of your ride, someone will pick up their mouse and hammer your lid, lower your pan, or flame you ( literally). *(personally, I like straight on side views or front/ rear views, no angled shots, but thats just me.) Welcome in and watch where you step. ______________________________________________ stude truck, chopped/channeled/shortened: cruizin in a chopped/ lowered motor home - chopped, channeled and white walled: testing white walls and red rims for a guy... Thinking ahead during a build...
the actual car had all the stock trim and bumper guards. I chopped it and smoothed it out a bit, then dropped it a few inches. other than the 50 grille (mines a 49) and the 18" 5 spokes this will be my 49 someday
I've been working on one. I too use Paint; I'm pickin' at pixels! I was gonna drop this one ('32 Essex) on the '32 Ford H.A.M.B. Art Challenge when finished, and say, "oops, this isn't a Ferd". The hard parts are gonna be getting the front sheetmetal and engine looking decent, like they're at the proper angle. Photobucket changed it to a jpeg so it got a litte screwed up. The other one is a nightmare from an older Art Challenge. Thanks, Kurt
Here's the ones I've done for fellow hambers... mostly just cleaning them up with a set of whites and a lowering job.
This is the photoshop of my current Fleetline project that I did about 10 years ago, before I had the car, actually. I was inspired by this Steve Stanford drawing from R&C in the late 80's.
i have only paint...it doesn't work well in my hands,,,,,,,,,any one want to play with this????????tires, motor whatever????????,,,,
I was thinking last night how we haven't seen a revival of shortened cars line in the late 60's, we use to call "stubbies". I remember seeing unibody dodge and ford trucks, VW vans, 57 Chev wagons, 55 chevs coupes... (all once 4 doors) chopped and turned into stubby little 2 doors. Sure they looked cartoonish, but they were a cool milestone in car history. I wonder if they'll make a come back?
a few the ideas bouncing around in my head, Im going to build the green model a pick up though it will be running a 4-71 now....
Wanna relink the picture? I will do it for you. Also, why don't we start a photoshop request thread? Just somewhere people can say please do .... to my car...
My dream.... one day! Here is how it started. This will be after I'm done with it... all in a mid to late 40's style This one would be nice as well.. although I personally prefer the 40's style version...
