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

That would be a cool cruiser! I wonder what it would look like chopped?

 

Chopping a Willys is problematic because the top is almost bubble shaped. On a coupe, you can fair the rear into the sloping trunk. But on a ute, the pickup bed is tall and straight, so it can be difficult to get the proportions right. And there are two schools of thought on a chopped top:
1) If you're going to all the trouble of chopping, make sure everyone sees it.
2) Chop in such a way that few see the chop, but everyone think it just looks better somehow.

Her are two versions of the chop. Both are chopped the same amount.

 

That custom is a great idea and I’ll definitely keep that in mind! I know it’s a lot to ask, but are you able to make an attempt at artillery wheels in the color green?

 

Or go full custom with a Carson top!

 

OK, but on which version? Stock or custom or hot rod look?

 

I say leave the ute alone. Give it time and place to sell. Who could upset this face?



By the way, what year/make/model?

 

Hello,

I, too think it needs to be left alone. The above fast change is not the best looking with green artillery wheels or any wheels I put on those tires on my drawing board. From 5 spoke American mags to Halibrand mags, even a set of Buick Skylark Wire Wheels looked better than those artillery wheels. One last choice was to put on some Model A wire wheels, but they just did not do anything to make it nicer.

My brother called them Shark-Nosed Jeeps.

 

Someone took that idea to heart...

 

hot rod I guess.

 

Might look something like this...

 

Here 'tiz:

 

I’m diligently working to make my car look similar to this one, and can’t decide between black artillery wheels or true red. Can someone please change the wheels to red?

 

Thanks a lot Moose, I think I like the black wheels better.

 

OK here it is with your sample color...

 

Oh I like that

 

Wow I’ve been stalking this thread for years and finally gonna post.

Is anyone interested to help with ideas for my 59 Rancho.

Colorwise I really like emerald green which is the color of the roof and the dash/ interior parts. (the hood is currently in dark green primer). I also envision some black outlining and highlighting the belt trim. The car looked great with chrome reversed wheels and www tires but those are long gone. Spoke wheels might be in my future. Have at it boys!

 

Here it is in green, without striping.

I can shift the color if you like.

Maybe someone else would like to take a shot at some stripes?

 

Wow that’s awesome! Thanks I’ll add it to my album

 

Here is the green I’m going with. I probably should have added this in the first post

 

Hope this is a little better.

 

I have always liked the DeSoto bumper on 57,58.59 Fords. First one I saw was on a blue 57 Ford Fair lane in 1958.

 

Nailed it! How did you add the eyebrow trim? It’s still sitting on the shelf lol

 

Here's another version....

 

Caddy hubcaps? I didn’t even think of that. This is cool

 

Thanks Moose.

 

My body guy is making progress on my Ranch Wagon so I need some ideas about paint. Could someone two tone my wagon like the example but cream instead of the white shown? And maybe show the wheels both in cream and red with black walls. Red and cream samples attached. Thanks in advance.

 

I love those DeSoto bumpers -- but -- sometimes they appear an inch or two too wide for their adoptive mother. Can someone give them a vasectomy? (you know, just a snip here or there.)
