Black, white and gray are the hardest colors to manipulate on photo alteration software, in my experience.
Here you go. [ATTACH]
Could be! I played around for an hour trying to get a good root beer color and could not come close. So I tried ChatGPT just to see what it could...
I did the wheels. ChatGPT did the rest! [ATTACH]
I borrowed themoose's final version to do a 1955 Belair-ish two tone. It's quick-and-dirty, but you get the idea. Steve Stanford drew something...
That's a beautiful color, but hard to recreate; grey, rose and violet undertones, plus it's metallic. This is as close as I could get. [ATTACH]...
Great car - subtle custom. Headlight bezels are perfect, whatever they are. And those wheels!!?...
Hot damn thats nice! Thanks! If you need some ideas for the front... [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I knew I forgot something! [ATTACH]
Sorry it's not exactly what you asked for, but it should give you an idea.[ATTACH]
When the new 2-seat TBirds came out, several companies sold "retro-kits" to backdate the 'Bird. They all looked horrible because they were...
Sorry, I can't take the time this week. Maybe someone else can give it a try.

Gone! [ATTACH]
Since you're open to suggestion, I chose two types of Hurst wheels that recall Studebaker's Bonneville days. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
@fastcar1953 Another variation on the the top bar style. Hood and fender line dropped down a bit. This time with 1959 International Harvester...
@fastcar1953 1948 Olds grille with bumper and over-riders and '52 Old 88 headlights. Customs usually delete the over-riders, but I think the big...
Here's a '51 with a 6-bar grill, using the top bar for all bars. Stockish, yet kustom! Oh, and '54 Buick headlights. [ATTACH]
@Outback Slight drop in back, whitewalls with chrome reverse wheels. Trimmed the hedge, too! [ATTACH]
Here's a Renault Dauphine I did last year using a scaled down '54 Mercury sport coupe roof. [ATTACH]
@chopdtop How's this? [ATTACH]
I had an idea. Take a 1955 Packard Caribbean and use the grille and middle bar with Dagmars. Then drop the car so the middle bar becomes the...
@LarsL Here's the result. I left the Olds "mustache" so you can see where one ends and the other begins. [ATTACH]
Lars, I think the square Mercury and the round Olds grille could work if you drop the idea of canted quads. There just isn't enough room. With a...
@jsxtreme If this were my car, I know what I'd do! [ATTACH]
Here you go! [ATTACH]
@Kellys Hot Rod Parts Here's a simple cherry/maroon and black combo. [ATTACH]
@Phillips Here's a similar '67 Ford Taunus 12M I did in 2022. [ATTACH]
@Leon Sandcastle If it were mine, this would be my model: Joe Cruces' T coupe. [ATTACH]
