!!!!help!!!! photoshop a bed on my bobber

Can not decide if my truck will look better with a bed or not. Was wondering if the photoshop ****s could help me out. Plan on going all black or all black ch***is and rims with blue - green grill,cab,and bed. !!!!!!pease help!!!!

 

Why not bolt on an old trunk ? That would look good, either that or a fuel tank.

 

Totaly out of proposion?
you need to put the cab half a meter forward,you have no room for a bed?

Just looking to put a 40" bed on. Has a gas tank mounted between rear frame rails.thanks for suggestions.

 

You like T bucket pick-ups? You could take 5 minutes with a piece of cardboard and decide if you like it.

 

I know it's your truck, but I'd design a hood long befor spending time worring about a bed.

 

You did say 'bed'

 

were your first intentions for an engine a streight 8 because the nose is way tooooo long. i would move the cab forward a foot then you would have alot more room for a bed
just my .02
tk

 

yea the trunk sounds cool

 

Its your truck and I can see a ton of work that you have put into it. What several of the posts have tried to say is that it appears somewhat out of proportion. Looks as if the floor shift may not even make it into the cab. Maybe someone can photoshop the body moved forward. Your car sits good, looks great from the rear. My thoughts are to leave the bed off to better expose the rearend. Again, my thoughts.

 

definitely need to move stuff around: both the engine and the cab need to move forward to give you a better look.

 

I really like your framework...lot's of work, and shows nicely!!
If it were mine, I would build a narrow enough box to show off that framework!!
Nice rig...I like it..
Keep us posted..
Cheers,

 

Hood don't need no stinkin hood

 

thanks for the help guy. FOR some reason i knew someone would photeshop a real bed (sleaper!!!!) on my truck. believe it the shifter is right where i want it or should be . It was supposed to be set up for no bed.just thought a 40" t-style bed may make it look cool. i may run a hood,just want this look taken care of first. thanks again for all the help.

 

Please dont take this the wrong way, but your defiance of the laws of physics may be your undoing.

the frame hieght in front of the rear kickup and under the cab is what 2" tall?

the holes in the front frames rails are too large and leaves you with a front frame that is essentially 2" tall as well.

Scary stuff yo.

 

Trust me it will look better with a bed. I understand that your shifter is where you would like it to land but your engine is way too far from the firewall to look right.

I don't know that I could photoshop anything on there that would look correct but I will try and describe what would look correct. Your bed needs to be a little longer behind the wheels than it is in front of the wheels. i would try and find a bed with a reveal for the fenders and put the tires centered in the reveal.

What would be real sharp would be a 39-41 front end and 39-41 rear fenders. Perhaps even extend the rear fenders a little past the bed for a real custom look. Building it the way that you have has lost the hauler look for you so custom is a good way to salvage the build.

Oh yea unless you are a late model "R" rod type a bobber is also a lady of the night.

 

I think it wants to be a Sedan Delivery.

 

Interesting tread on the rear tires. Who makes those?

 

i like the sedan delivery. rear tires are made by radir.

 

I'm not a photoshopper, but I added a bed and moved the front end around to give the truck better proportions. Right now it looks a like a shoe. Why is the front end so long and the rear end so short? Please rethink those proportions.

 

I dont have an opinion, just tried to do what you asked.

 

I thought a bobber was a motorcycle or for fishing WTF

 

thats a lot of nice work wasted . man that thing is so out of proportion.

 

i think mrjynx did a good job.looks good with a bed . i like the way i built my truck, even if people think it is out of proportion. i wanted the wheels in front of the grill and i had planned on not running a bed. stll thanks for the corrective cridisesm. i will review all my options.thanks again for all the help.

 

Go with the Sedan Delivery. Have you ever seen another?

 

the more i look at the sedan delivery,the more i want to do it!! it just looks bad ***.

 

Spotted this on Speed channel today almost the same scale.

 

yep...

lots of proportion issues as was pointed out...

 

I liked it as a sedan delivery. It looked right.
