    I don't have photo shop, and even if I did, i'm just not artistic.

    Can someone please photo shop this with fade away fenders( i think that's what they're called when they fade back into the doors), and lower it a couple of inches? If you can add burgandy for color, that would be great!

    Thanks in advance.

    Your pic won't open.
    Do mean like a buick or a cadillac on the fenders.

    James D, that awesome! Could you possibly add a dark burgandy, and tail drag it a bit? Any chance of making it a convertible? i have two, and i'm thinking of taking the top off of one.Sorry to be a pain, i'm just trying to figure out my final look. Thanks again!

    I´ll have to do it later. Lunchtime is over. I have to pretend to work for a few more hours.

    What exact year and model is this Caddy? I may be able to find a better photo to use.

    It's a 38 lasalle coupe. Same as a 38 cad coupe.

    I really appreciate you doing this.

    Now i just have to find someone to do the fade away work for me!

    I took James version and chopped it a little more. Raised the rear of the extended fenders, and lowered the back a bit more.
    If you are really serious about this project its best to find a Better photo as James D already suggested. This photo is to small to some nice Photoshop work with.

    Thank you! That's the overall look i was after. Could someone make a vert out of it, for car #2.

    Thanks again.

    You guys are great!
    Maybe this pic will work better, this is Buckndol's car, a fellow hamber. It is virtually the same car.

    I'm also open for ideas. Mechanically, i know where i'm going. I just need to find the look i want for these two cars.

    Rikster's cad is awesome!

    Rickster, can you remove the carson top, so we can see what it would look like without it?

    Rikster, i think that's the one! If it was a better photo, like buckndol's, where it showed all the hood/side trim, i think it would be perfect.

    Many thanks.

    If anyone has any ideas, please feel to post them, or modify the pics.

    Sure the other photo would have been better. But I did not have the time to start all over.

    And what would be even better is a photo of your friends car from a little higher point of view. This low angle is nice, but you don't really get a good feel for the overall look of the car. Plus when doing Photoshop customizing you always need parts that you take from other photos. This low angle view is hard to find on other cars, so it will be near impossible to find the right parts to use.
    So if you have a different photo.... Better post it here. Perhaps somebody will try to make it a convertible custom.

    Rikster, i appreciate what you've done. I wasn't impling to start over with the other car- i just meant that in real life it would look better, like buckndol's, with all the proper trim.

    I'm open to ideas, if anyone has some. I'm just trying to settle on a look, so i can get on with the body work.

    Any ideas?
