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

any photoshop ideas on a 1950 studebaker champion starlight coupe.? i am finishing up the metalwork on one this winter and really dont know witch way to go..... GASSER or TAILDRAGGER any ideas would be really helpfull in makin-up my mind.i would be willing to cut my rear fenders out for the gasser look but thats the only bodymod i would make.

 

If you have any side pictures post one and I'll do a gasser style 'shop on it.

 

this is the only side shot i have....i hope its good enough.

 

Studebaker Kustoms are rad !!

 

I like the one Pininfarina actually did too.

 

Actually that was too small but I found a stocker on the 'Net and 'shopped it Gasser style. These cars look good either way as long as you lose that ugly ass front bumper. Hope this helps.

 

I think I could do that later, I did these with your source images and they look to be close to 2 inch white walls... I can find a narrower one if you like. (the rims are larger then your real set, because I had made this for my own amusement)





I really like your Pontiac BTW!

 

That's what I wanted. Thanks MOguy

 

That sort-of inspired my more mundane update.

I like this one, too:
The Giorgio Giugiaro designed, Bertone-built Corvair Monza Testudo (turtle).

 

The front end of that (kinda) made it onto the Vignale Fiat Samantha.

 

And one of my all-time favorites:
the Lamborghini Miura - oooh baby!

 

THANKS OahuEli thats right down my alley if you know what i mean ?i think i'll go with that stance. and the front bumper was the first thing i sold.

 

You're welcome. I'm glad you got rid of that bumper and please start a thread so we can watch your progress. What drivetrain are you planning on using?

 

Hey, that's nice!
When I first removed the center aluminum piece, I thought the center line looked a little bland, so I added some detail back. I like the way you resolved it by dropping the hood line down. With the single headlights, it looks wide and sleek.

 

Anyone wanna do a color change for me, please? First pic is my '33 Plymouth coupe in front of Honest Charley's last summer, second pic is the color I'm contemplating painting it.

 

Hillman IMP separated at birth!

 

Love that car too.

 

can anyone take this and turn it into a 1959 four door El Camino while retaining the '59 rear roof overhang?

 

Can any one do this to a chopped top 54'
Chevy post car
I can try to get a better if it would help. It will be for a tee so nothing to detailed just want know it a been 54thats been chopped and slammed. Thanks

 

This was an interesting exercise. Getting the proportions right was problematic.

I finally took the A-pillar and reversed it which makes for a weird look, but the roof length is about where I like it. I lengthened the front door and shortened the rear. The spear got longer, too. And dropped it two inches closer to the pavement.

Dick Dean did a nice 4-door '59 El Camino and I remember seeing an extra-cab version in Rod & Custom. I'll look for photos after work.

I think I'll give the rear roofline another try later on.

 

Here´s my go at it - a stock door-and-two-thirds and a re-shuffle of the roof parts gives a pick up profile to the window frames, with (possibly) still enough rear passenger headroom.

 

1959 El Camino, take 2:

This time I took the roof from a real '59 El Camino and stretched it.
Much better than my first attempt, I think!

 

Not the most realistic way to do it, but it was fun to make.

 

Back again with a request on the wagon.....

Would like to see it in Semi-gloss or Satin finish Baylor Green with the Orange Flake roof. Orange wheels with dog dish center caps and wide whites. Oh and ditch the ski rack!




Thanks in advance!

If anyone wants to throw some astros on there for the heck of it, go for it!

 

OahuEli it will be sbc of coarse and auto. working on a prostock trans tunnell for it now.... lots of room for any trans.and resseced firewall.i have a few pics on my page....will post more as i go.

 

Thanks JamesD, pefect... except you got overspray on my grille and running boards - haha

Just what I needed though, thanks.

 

Anybody??

Can someone photoshop a new grill on my truck. Getting ideas, i think a brand new grill would look out of place. My truck isnt a 100pt show winner, so i didnt know if a brand new grill would look right. Or if i should find a better shape grill and make one good one.

Thanks
David
