Art & Inspiration The Photoshop thread to end all Photoshop Threads!

Could I get the license plate removed on the Willys please, thank you

 

Thanks guys, my friend is weird about that

 

Can someone do a slant vs straight B pillar comparison with all of the pieces obviously in the right places. Hopefully get everything fit tonight and finish welding it all tomorrow and build a new catwalk. The rear spring is on backorder so this is close to the stance. Lowering it 3” in front 5-6”in the rear. The tsildragger rake should be close with the front wheels on the skates.

 

I like it. Its pretty subtle.

 

im not sure what goes on over here . be gentle its my first time . im just trying to see if someone can alter my pix to show what my 41 will look like dropped 3 or 4 inches and maybe chopped the same . its all above my pay grade . so if you could it would be grt.!!

 

Looks to me like 3/4" doesn't make a lot of difference. but...

 

I suspect he meant 3" to 4", not 3/4"

 

Would look better if the rear wheel was centered in the rear fender.

 

sorry for the confusion . 3 to 4 inches . is what i meant . my wife and i have had similar miss communication . several times ! and i will never understand why the wheels werent centered as built . but i guarantee when i lower it i will fix that . if nothing else

 

how about a straight b pillar , never saw that in a cheby coupe ! and maybe sme un hamb 20 inch steelies with knock offs ?

 

No, no, no.....

 

no to which ? or all the above ? the only thing likely to materialize is 3 inch drop . but some type of 5 soke wheels will probably come and go . depending on my mood . once im rid of 4.11s my wheel tire options are wide open . well not to wide . tubs are not in the mix !! but shorter tires with thinner w/w might give a totaly different look . right or wrong !

 

The rear axle of a '40 Chevy Coupe that I owned at one time had been replaced with one from a '57 Dodge.
The holes in the perches to align to the springs of the Chevy and Dodge rear-ends were not the same, and it caused the rear-end to be forward too far; just like the pic above.
I can't remember which was off-center, but one was, and one was on-center.
Seems like it was only about 3/4" or maybe 1" at most......enough to make a difference.

 

maybe , but these chevys were built with the rear ends off cntr. . my best bet is it was because the rear w/torque tube moved back under compression . but im sure the engineers new more than i will ever figure out ! i think all gm cars had the same location in these years ?

 

Someone else is going to have to do the wheels (I have to do some other things today) but here is a chop and drop. I can go farther if you like.

 

thnx , thats where im heading . the chop will probably .never happen . i did sit and dream about the first cut . but i did the glass and headliner to put it out of my mind . still i could get a wild hair . the altitude is in the very near future . if my shop wasnt such a mess id start today . could set my goals a little lower and clean the shop .?? what the hell . im pretty good at stepping over shit . havnt had a real bad tripping incident . yet !

 

thats just bad ass !!!

 

A straight pillar chop would be tough to pull off in real life, you'd probably have to source some 2 door sedan doors and pillars to make it work. That said, I don't hate the look, it's actually much nicer than I would have thought.

No fucking way am I adding 20" wheels to this picture though.

 

it was really a joke pertaining to the 46? ford coupe chop above . but it does give it a unique AND cool look ! if it was only that easy in real life . as to the low hanging fruit . it sucks that i am getting to where i dont want to cut something that is original and in decent condition . but the beauty of a 41 sd coupe is it seems like there are more around now than were built . so not rare . id hate to guess how many chopped are around .and throw in the 46/48 and im sure i cant count that high. if your real good a 3 inch chop on a ford will almost make it look like a stock chevy ! dont ask how i know !!

 

Make a hardtop out of it and don't worry about the center post. And if you drive it seldomly, screw the side glasses for style.

 

@buick bill
OK...Get out the torches , body hammers and lead.

 

thats what im talking about . i never even dreamed that approach . the hard top would be so cool as well . im not sure where you would start . hammer , chisel ? .......hacksaw ? those wheels really work to ! id really hate to replace my rambler wheel covers , but at least they were cheap !! im really wanting to see the stock roof line in silver or silver metallic !

 

Like the Cadillac Sabre wheels.

 

While not wanting to step on the toes of 7berkmerc and Moose, they both did
a great job eliminating the newer vehicle, I wanted to take the pic a step
further. Not knowing what the lettering on the radiator shell signified, I removed
it. I had to wait as the street sweeper rolled through and cleaned up the leaves,
then tried out the black & white look. Now it looks like it could be on Ricky Nelson's
block. Cropped as a 5x7.

I don't have Photoshop so I'm pretty much limited to simple "repairs", but I have to say
that you fellows on this thread sure know your stuff.

 

Good change, but I wouldn't mind having the Camaro, with the 200s'.

 

are those wheels sabre . i thought they were spokes ? whatever they are they work. if i had that drop with those whees and a silver top , i think id be good ! would be interesting to see the hard top treament though . i dont think ive seen it on a 41 . YET......................

 

Lowered with no chop....

 

They make reproduction sabre wheels for between $1500 -$2500 each. I've got a set of originals that cost me $1000 and they wanted $1000 each to restore when I checked about 5 years ago.
