    Does anybody have a profile shot of a '47 chevy coupe? I'm trying to make a photoshop print as a christmas present for a 15 year old kid that I'm helping build his car. I can't find a profile shot anywhere. Oh yeah, it can't be chopped. Thanks.

    Keep in mind, though, that the quality of images from the internet aren't really suitable for printing, as they are only 72 dpi. Your best bet is to find a book and scan a photo....well no, your best bet would be to take an actual photo of one, and have that image scanned, but I'm guessing that's not really an option. The very minimum resolution you should print photos by is 300 dpi.

    That'll do. It doesn't really matter if it's that high resolution. He just wants something to show his friends who have no idea what he's doing. I looked at Carnut and there are only front 3/4 shots on there. Oh, and taking a picture of one isn't an option. We already took his apart and there aren't too many car shows here, since it snows every week.

    ah, i just noticed the reshaped trunk area, I wouldn't have time to get into reshaping all that ****. I was thinking more about chopping it so low it would just flow into the trunk like a fastback.

    switchblade, you can figure it out. Just measure the height of the side window in the before and after pictures and the height of the side window on a real car. Do some math, and you can tell how much the chop in the picture is.

    yeah just find something to reference your measurements off of and you can scale it up.

    i choped that in paint! thts why the trunk is messed with big time to make it work. if you were going to do it you could get the same look but leaning the back window in

    i couldnt re angle the pix so i just did what i could
