[lulabelle]

This has been done before,but,I lost the pics.Anyone want to give it a shot?I'm looking for ideas on lines.I'd like it to slope hard to the back.Thanks ya'all!(Sorry for the bad quality of the pic)

[lulabelle]

I'm a NOVIS!This is kinda what I'm thinkin'.

[Ron]

I can't Photoshop but I really liked this one

[lulabelle]

Yeah Ron,that car is cool!That's the stance I'm going for also.It won't take much to get it there.I have alot of things to consider now that I can stand back and look at it.

Thanks for the time Rodnkustom!I don't know how to "paint" with ps.How'd ya do it?The only thing is,My son has to have his side view,so it's gotta have a slight quarter window.My wife says my photoshop looks like the car has an afro! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[rodnkustom]

No prob man! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif That's what were all here for!! Simplified (I did a lot of stuff to make the paint smoother), if you put a layer over the area that you want "painted," then you paint in only the part of the ride you want modified, change the layer property to "Color" instead of "Normal" then you can change the color of the layer easily under, "Image," "Adjustments," then "Hue/Saturation" or "Ctrl+U". Then on the right side of the window that pops up click on the check box that say's "Colorize," then bring up the "Saturation" and change the "Hue" and "Lightness," until you get the color that you want.

This color better? That was an intial color anyhow, http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif , hope that helps man!

Lulabelle!!!!!
what kind of front suspension do you have?
It´s so low in front,do you have airbags?
I have lowered my 51 so much that i dont have any suspension left,but it is still not that low.

[lulabelle]

The frontend is S-10.

[Hubbcat]

What is a s10?

[lulabelle]

87 Chevy S-10 truck.It has dropped spindels and cut coils.I built the rest of the frame.

[Hubbcat]

Wow that´s nice work man.

[ShortBus]

Hey Ron, That's Miguel Zarate's Chebby. That car was bone stock when he picked it up. Home built. and it's lifted.

HubbCat Your car is KOOL.

[Hubbcat]

This is how i want it to be.
maybe some day or night.

Lulabelle-
I'm not to great with Photoshop, but here's my rendition of your car with a removeable roof....

Damn, that's the only shot I could find of that car.
Would have worked so much better with a side shot.
