OK is this better...

 

Damn, that was fast! That is exactly what I was thinking of.

I must say, I like the red version better, but the white would be easier to do.

But a paint job is still probably a ways off in the future. The wheels I'm fairly likely to do this summer though. I'm definitely sold there, and it's gonna need tires soon.

Thanks for the rendering. When it comes time to paint this car, I'll circle back to these pictures.

I've committed this summer to turning my '62 Imperial into this rendering.





Gonna be a long road...

 

Pretty cool...are those Lincoln fins?

 

The quarters are from a '61 Imperial, which shares the rest of the body with my '62 so they should line up really well.

The car also has a mangled hood and some rusty spots that will need to be repaired. I'm going to try to match the paint and blend it in and only paint what absolutely needs to be painted, just from a budgetary and time standpoint. That might be the trickiest part. But any areas that are getting painted can get some custom work done there, so some emblem shaving and molding shuffling is going to happen as well.

I've always wanted a '61 Imperial. When I got my hands on this one, I knew it needed the '61 fins (which I already had and was saving), and the quarters need work anyway so it's the perfect time. Now, if I can find a 60-63 2 door hardtop donor car for the doors and such, then this project is going to get more involved.

 

I'm trying to decide whether to leave the wide whites of change to black walls. Can someone photoshop this pic and give me a visual. Thanks for the help.

 

Black walls PLEASE

 

Help me figure out a classy mid 50s color for my 53 Buick Roadmaster. The interior is dark red and black. Id like to see what maroon, dark green, black, light grey, maybe even a pale yellow would look like. Thanks in advance

 

Not a Photoshop, and I'm sure someone who's good at color changes will step in and do one on your 2dht, but my dad had a '52 Roadmaster sedan that was red and silver and I always thought the paintjob on that car was perfect, would go with your interior, too.

 

Is that your dads car?

 

Thanks so much. I like it that way. Maybe rear tires need to fill up wheel wheels a little better

 

It was, he sold it. It had been burnt in a garage fire but only the old paint melted off and the windshield shattered, the rest was OK, so he bought it burnt and changed the color from black to this.

 

Here's a few for you to ponder....

 

Hello
I bought this car last summer and found that the engine is very worn out, had gearbox trouble as well so decided to hop up a bit with a french flathead and a T5 transmission working on a Chevy rear axle. Mechanics are well under way but I want to decide about the final paint. Moose or anyone else having the ability - could you please change color brown to black and white to mouse grey. Would like to paint the car but might paint the roof and upper hood black.(everything above the door opener)
Thanks so much!

 

Moose, Thank you. Can you do a much lighter yellow? And bubble skirts!

 

I always wondered what one of these would look like with the tail lights removed from the top of the fenders and different ones cut into the bumpers:

 

Thinking about Scallops on my '31. Cream or Silver, or any other color you think. Also I'm unsure about starting it in the cowl area or just on the sides. Can someone do me the favor? Thanks in advance.

 

Here are three: Mandarin Red, Mandarin Red and Dark Grey, and Sapphire.

 

Mmmm....that Mandarin Red and Dark Grey is tasty.

 

Here's a similar Imperial I did awhile back. Taillights in the trim.

 

Thanks very much, version 2 it is!

 

Can you show it to me with white wall tire and black wheels and maybe even black walls tires and black wheels.
Thanks for your help

 

This cleaned the lines up greatly. I like it way better than the factory version. Thanx.



And here's the original for comparison:

 

This would be easy enough to do using a '63 Imperial rear bumper and putting tail lights in the reverse light holes. I agree, the design is much nicer looking without the "flashlights". I'm still going all-in on the '61 fins, but that is a nice, clean look.
