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

Chopped, lowered, whitewalled. Fixed the hood, cleaned up some rust, and found you some side chrome in my garage stash.

I evened out the color a bit, but the stock two-tone just looks so good on this car, especially when lowered, that I just left it that way.

Yes boss...

 

Here's a '61 Pontiac Parisienne Safari wagon that belongs to HAMBer LS7gto that he posted on the '61 Catalina Super Safari thread. Koolkemp commented on how he'd always wanted to make a sedan delivery out of a '60-'61 Poncho wagon and the rest was sorta inevitable.

Original car


And here's the chopped and lowered sedan delivery version using a hardtop windshield.
I like the idea!!


Seems like I've done a lot of sedan deliveries lately. lol

 

Can someone please PS my pile with a HRF copper pearl but keeping the door lettering?
PLease.pretty please?

 

Nailed it Eli!!! Thats the picture I have had in my mind for years Too bad the raw material to build one is so hard to find...unless I lived out west! It will probably remain a dream...but at least now I know how cool it would be!Thanks Eli!!

Here is what I came up with; wish I could have gotten the color and pearl highlights a little closer.

can some one please turn the whitewalls inside out on my truck i am thinking of doing away with the whitewalls. also can some please try some different wheel options.. please private message these to me..

thank you very much heres some pics

 

Thanks à bunch, it sure would be à cool little custom!

 

I seem to be on a little-Ford kick. While looking for some photos of a1954 Ford (US) I came across this '54 Taunus (German Ford). Neat car and rarely seen in the States.

Anyway, I did a quick photo-custom.

Here it is, before:

Neat /\!
Never mind rare in the States - can´t think that i ever saw one here.

 

That's a 12M Super! I own 2 of them, extremely rare in North America!

I hope to finish my good one this summer, it was on hold while looking for parts, took me 14 years to get a windshield for mine but I just got it last fall! Looking at this I think I need to put skirts on mine! (and 13 inch wide whites)Taunus #1 in 1998



Taunus #2 in 2008



I'm restoring #2 but want to rod #1 because it is very rough and I won't mind cutting into it.

According to the German and Chilean Taunus clubs I probably have the biggest collection of 12M's in the world (outside of a couple wrecking yards)... because I have 2 LOL

 

Ha ha! Check you out - Bill Harrah!

 

Thanks, James.
The rarer the car, the sweeter the chop!

 

If you want to make it 3 - check your PMs!<label for="rb_iconid_7"></label>

 

Spooky, I posted a picture of that exact '54 Taunus to Facebook at seven o'clock this morning.

How about slamming that puppy?

 

Now there's a car that's crying for a sectioning job! The design line is nice, it's just too tall & too stubby [F to B] for it's beltline. The skirts & chop look good, but accentuate the need for sectioning, were I going to do one or the other I think I'd section it first, ...only my two cents don't ya know.

...and yeah, drop it a tad!

 

By Popular Request: lowered, then sectioned; though you'd probably have to be sectioned youself to drive it!

Lowered:

Cool little car, Reminds me of a 50's Ford consul I had once (4 door) Couldn't kill the motor. It say for 20+ years, I put gas and electric to it and she roared to life.. the stuff that flew out of the exhaust was ... amazing...

 

raise rear fenders, then add to the bottom,show total w/w on rear tire.

Please .

 

yes please....
thats weird the rear fenders dont look that low in real life,,,
Hey did you sell that COE?
Sorry I couldnt buy it....I gotta raise 5 bucks to be broke...thats how broke I am,

 

how about my new ride? astros? or wire wheels? I know the picture isn't the best but the weather here sucks today.

 

Rear fender raised, wheel well opened up.
Did they actually have high-top rear fenders for the big trucks?
Not sure I've ever seen one.

Ghastly looking thing - you should sell it. To me.



Lovely car!

 

Didn't have the time last night, but I just had to, so here is my attempt.

Stock



Dropped



Chopped and dropped



For a car with a 98 inch wheelbase and being only 13 feet long this would require me to sit on the floor and still have my head wedged in the headliner... LOL

On my real car I would love to put Packard tail lights on it, 54 Merc headlight rings, maybe the wrap around windshield from an early 60's Vauxhall...

I love mine, it sat in a sand pit in Devon Alberta for 28 years, dragged it out with a chain, trailered it home and gave it gas and a battery and it fired right up and ran perfectly, it's never ever smoked or anything!

 

thanks! I've had it all of 2 weeks! I like the astros on it, looks good. Just worry that everyone has astros and that an oddball car doesn't need "bellybutton" wheels on it. I like it alot though.

 

Any idea how much you lowered it?

 

RottenCustom: Right On, that final version is spot-on, sweet lookin' little ride!

 

I couldn't resist wide whites, jets skirts and custom headlight rings.. maybe 54 Merc, maybe 53 Cadillac...
