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

Thank you squablow. That’s the most important money shot. Hopefully it’ll give him some insight.

 

@Petejoe

Here's my version. I can see that conniving Squablow beat me to the punch.

 

Thank you madfish. that roofline is pleasing too. Doesn’t look like as much work.

 

Could someone possibly change the look of this by moving the grille an headlights back much closer to the engine? Maybe lean the grille back a little too. If you're feeling really adventurous add a hood and hood sides. Looking for ideas and not happy with the current look. Thanks!

 

Could you please extend the rear fenders, and raise them up to match the body line of the cab. Want to build a Cameo, or fleetside style out of a step side bed. Don’t want the Cameo taillights just the slope of the rear fenders

 

@Rand Man like this? Or would you eliminate the end of the box sticking out? That I think might look weird, but I do kinda like the extended stepside fenders like this. An interesting enough idea I had to try it just to see for myself what it'd look like.

 

Here's mine. turns out I took the fenders a little farther back than Squablow, so I think that might help to answer his question.

 

Added cameo trim just to see...

 

Thanks guys. I’m not sure about the rear/tailgate area. Will think about it. I found out that Cameo repro bedsides aren’t all that expensive. I found this 55 GMC project that could be really cool.

 

The sides aren't bad, but wait until you see the price tag on the trim bits!

 

Oh yeah, I'm liking that a lot! Thanks very much.

Well, that GMC project I wanted sold. Here’s what I think is a long bed.

Changed my mind, sorry. The extended fenders is what I can afford.

 

If you don’t already know, I’m a dreamer. Here’s another project car I want. 51 Chevy already has a lot of work done to it. I think something like 53 Cadillac tail fins would look great on this Chev.

 

That looks killer, wonder how good it would look with a little altitude adjustment on both ends?

 

@Rand Man

 

Thanks Moose! You do awesome work. I love that look.

 

Sorry guys, the long bed truck is the most affordable, and could look pretty cool. Maybe just take this rendering and extend the wheelbase and bed. It might be cool if the wheel arches were moved back a few inches. The extension would be more in front of the wheels. Could lower it a bit too. Thanks so much guys. I will settle down after this one.

 

Whoa, I appreciate your effort. Looks like you you stretch out the wheelbase to 130 inches. I think you stretched out behind the tire also.
I plan to cut off the extra bed side at rear. I want the tailgate to line up like your previous image. The bed will not be 8 ft, more like 7ft. Thanks for all the hard work. Don’t mean to complain

 

Better?

 

The problem with starting with an 8 foot box and then just bobbing the tail for length is that the rearend is going to be in a really awkward spot, more like this. I think if you're going to do this, you have to be willing to cut the frame down to short wheelbase length, or find an SWB frame to build on.

 

Yes, it would be better to correct the wheelbase. I can’t do a lot for myself anymore. The more mods can price me out of the deal. That last one looks pretty good to me. Thanks guys!

 

Long fenders look like a coffin to me. Hard to beat stock or Cameo.
I would to see a Cameo with a better designed tailgate … It looked liked the designers stopped a little to soon.

 

Yeah, this this 58 or 59 I found could use the fleetside bed. They can look really good.

 

Yogi's truck is pretty sweet

 

@Rand Man

 

Awesome! Like the way you cleaned up the front end.
One more idea. I could buy a panel van or whatever the correct term. Cut off the roof behind the door , weld in a new cab back, with the big back window. The “bed” body line matches the door perfectly.

 

Looks like the wheels might have been too much so I did something a little more conservative.
