Photoshop Help Request- Watson style

I'm a ways off from actually doing this, but a little visual inspiration is a great motivator!

I know what I want, but can't quite put it together in my head. I want a gold car with white Watson-style scallops. That I'm sure of. I'm not sure about the roof. Should it be gold and white, or orange/red candy flaked fish scales/lace over white abalone flake, just white flake, or all/none of the above? I'm leaning towards gold roof with white bands separating it into panels. I'm hoping some photoshoppers will chime in.

FWIW, I have a '63 Corvair Monza 900, but I'm going to have to graft on a '60 front end due to some rust damage. The hood will remain the peaked '63 hood. My interior is red, hence my idea to tie it together with some red/orange candy on the roof. Just a thought.

Here's the gold I want.



Here's some cars that are not mine, but should give you a good base to work with.








60 nose - curves in instead of out, and different headlights.

awww... no photoshoppers are slacking off today?

 

Nice! Thanks, James!

Would a couple of panels in the roof be too much?

 

Too much for this evening! I´ll take a look tomorrow unless anyone else wants to chip in.

 

Thanks! That was more of an opinion question than a request, but if anyone wanted to knock out some more images I would love to see what you came up with!

 

James D,
I don't know how you do it mate, but LOVE YOUR WORK MAN.

That looks sweet.

 

any other suggestions?
