Projects SHOEBOX UPDATE: yes,,i've lost my miind

I love checking the updates on this one...

 

This one?

 

Ha! Thats too funny!

 

hmmm,,,,i gotta agree with james d.,,the cove does look pretty good with some added length,,,,,,
i hadnt considered the back looking too short and fat with the bubbles,,ill take them off tomorrow and see if it makes much difference (they do look better in person),,maybe a cove at te back wheelwell would look ok....at this point,,its easy to do in masking tape,hahah,,,,

you guys are the best,,thanks for helping with the suggestions and awesome photoshop work,,,,

 

i do like this,,,,,i still have the pieces i cut off,,,,it would definitely solve some of my roofline flow problems,,,,,,if i cant figure out a way to make the taper work,,ill definitely consider doing that..ive been racking my brain so hard to male the tapering doorline work, i hadnt considered the obvious,......

 

i have one of those garnish molding emblems with the futuristic car on it, and have actually looked at it several times during the mock up..

 

If you take a side on photo from lower down, I can re-jig my pic a bit and it should look a bit more sleek.

I just love how many ideas this thread throws up!

 

cool..i will post it tomorrow james,,,,,,,,,,

 

Here one I was working on without the skirts,it's a long way from
finshed,but gives you an idea what it would look like without
the skirts.reworked the rear 1/4s.But have no idea what the
taillights would look like.-------------TwoChops

 

not bad,,,,,,
im not crazy about the light color on the quarter,,might look pretty cool if it was black,,,any chance of seeing like a '59 chevy rear wheel opening?

 

I dunno.... if the trim line curves to match the shape of the roof.... that could be a good thing.



Killer build!!! Nutz-o

 

i like it better with skirts

 

---------------------------------------------------------
Heres the quarter in black ,may have time to do the openings
later.----------------------TwoChops

 

One of you PhotoShopers should add a little flipped up fin, like on the Ford door molding.

What a dream car look, Jim. When it's done it needs to be displayed on a turntable, with dreamgirl models gesturing, provocatively over it. Very Jetson, if you will. Bravo.

 

thanks phil....im going for a sort of a dream car/concept car look,,
its getting there,,,,,,,,,,,,,the photoshop work is a TREMENDOUS help in visualizing things,,,,,MUCH better than masking tape,,hahah,...

 

THANK YOU......
its getting there,,,
the 59 chevy wheelwell could be just the thing it needs,,anxious to see it,,,,,


i REALLY want to learn photoshop...so i can play too,,hahah,,,,,
the only problem is that i'd be on the computer so much,,i wouldnt have time to work on the real car,,,,

 

This is all that I can help you tonight.

thank you SO much,,,,i appreciate it,,really...

now i wont be able to sleep,,hahahaha,,,,,,

i like it,,,i need to study it,,,,,

 

Changing these three curves may help the "Flow" a little better since you have so many other swoopy curves. Just my humble opinion!

the more i look at this,,the more i like it,,,,,,,
and believe me,,,ive been looking at it a lot tonight,,,
cant wait until tomorrow,,,
whoops,,,i mean today,,hahah,,,,,

thats IF i can get to sleep now,,

you guys rule...

 

Hello, yea im a newbe here but i like following threads like this one, so i thought i'd throw ya a little drawing or two. If ya want the original send me your address and i'll send it to ya or i can bring it to hunnert if your going. Thanks for posting the progress its kool.

 

you will have to now change the front openings-LOL

TwoChops

 

very nice chaz,,,
thanks!

 

That is great - You get a matching shape for the front and rear wheel arches and the coves. Winner!

 

i love it too.
i think the front wheelwell would work ok as is,,because the shape of the cove helps compliment the rear wheelwell...

 

With less hood and trunk visible, and other changes...

 

heres a couple of pictures from lower angles,,,,,,,,
mocked up with 59 chevy wheel openings, and no dip in the door,,
sorry for the dark pics,,hope these will work ok,,,,

 

thanks for doing those cool renderings,,,
took some time to download for some reason,,but it was worth it,,,
maybe someone knows how to post them here so everyone can see without hitting the link,,,,,,,,,,,

 

Personally I like the dip in the door. It adds some movement to that top line. If you are going with the two tone paint and the '59 wheel openings I think it complements them and make the profile flow. I really like the look of James D last photoshop the door line, side trim and rear wheel opening all work perfectly together.

 

cool..............thanks a BUNCH.....
i posted a couple of pics for you with a lower angle (see below)..
