photoshop me some scallops please

thinking about a set of scallops on the 53 any one out there wanna give me some ideas

thinkin white scallops with a baby blue pinstriped outline

the first pic is a pic that the previous owner sent me when we were negotiaing the deal

and second pic is its current state of being but i dont think it is square enough for a good photoshop

so if you do photoshop 1st pic instead of 2nd pic please add the wheels in current state so it helps with the idea process

id appreciate it and thanks in advance

 

anyone interested in some help

 

Just a note to help some of us out. If you are resizing them smaller, make them around 600-750 width. Start with a larger pic and shoot the side that has sunlight on it. Shadows are much harder to work with than decently lit areas..

Here is a quickie before I hit the hay..

Doesnt sound like too many people like my ideas though.. Still here it is.

 

oh i like it but im looking for more of a fender well type scallop

its hard to explain cause i dont know too much about scallops but i think i can see it in my head just would like to see it on a photograph before i jump in head first and shot a set on the side of my ride

 

will have a look at some of my archives for ya

 

Git me a bigger pic, and I will do some different ones after I get done in the shop.. I think I know what you mean..

 

Is this what you mean?

 

yeah sorta tell ya what let me look thru my stuff and see if i can find something similar to waht im talking bought then ill post pics

 

ok lets see if these two pics can get us on the right track




1st i like the way that DirtyT Space Herpie's scallops were done with the exception of the way the bottom lick runs at an upwards angle, im thinking more of a straight out lick.

2nd I also like the way that this Darker Green car's scallops follow the complete arch of the fender well in the front.

Also thinkin id like something along the same designs as the front scallops on the rear fenders too.

dunno just some thought and thanks for the help

and ill try my best to get the 53 cleaned up a lil here in awhile and get a better/bigger side view shot (its been raining here damm near everyday since fathers day and i been driving it in it so it f'in filthy)

 

I was just going to make this a thread like this! same car, just a 4 door

 

Bored at work... took the liberty of dropping it a couple more inches as well.

 

hmmm.... looks like I'll be rattle-canning on some scallops soon!

 

That looks sweet... What program you using?

 

Just Photoshop

 

ok got the 53 cleaned up and snapped a couple new pics a few minutes ago


its the best i could do cause it is cloudy & overcast



boneyard - thats almost dead nuts what im looking for

anyone else wanna try with the new pic

 

Here you go.

 

Much better pic. Looks like boneyard has it covered. My hand quit anyway.

 

I really like the white roof as well. Good job, boneyard.

 

Hey Boneyard, thanks a Million for them scallops ill be sure to post em up once i get em on the car

 

boneyards version with the white top for sure that looks awsome

 

yea i didnt make that lower lick go up on purpose. taping it off with only 3 feet behind you to step back look kinda ****s. look at gl***guys Merc thats where i stole mine from kinda.

 

DIRTYT i love the space herpie and exspecially love the idea that you had never really done alot of the stuff required to get it that way

your definately an inspiration

 

I think a pair of larger, more sweeping scallops would bring out the body contours better. Possibly a very light blue, almost white, faded to a medium blue. Pinstripe the top side in white and the bottom side of the scallop in Navy Blue.

nice ride!

 

hey thats cool Gary but Boneyard's rendition is damm near what i had going on inside the head when i started this thread

 

Sorry bud, too lazy to photochop yours, but check this out.
I'd have done the fat ones on the roof different, and you wouldn't have to scallop the sides like this. I don't think scallops all over is too much...

 

wow i just found my inspiration for my 53' build, does anyone have anymore pics of that chevy above?!!!

 

that chevy was in one of the first osr's i have the mag if you want it.

 

hells yeah i want it!!!! man i love that chevy
