photoshop chop up my 62 comet

[kustumizer]

Hey guys. This car is lowered now, but i was just wondering if you could go crazy with it. do whatever you want i just want to get some ideas. Does anybody have pics of 62 comets or anything i can check out. Thanks Nate

[Fat Hack]

Start out kinda subtle, maybe...

[Fat Hack]

Hey...making longer doors is too much work...so I just filled 'em all in...got rid of the posts...jump in Duke boys style....YYYEEEEHHHHAAAAAA!!!

Crazy enough? Did this a while back when Jerry was doing Comet articles in Custom Rodder.
hmmm, so kustomizer, how would we suspend that rear axle? Doesn't look like enough room for a normal driveshaft with u joints.

[kustumizer]

hey what do you mean suspend my rear axle? The pic of my car or the photoshop car you did. My comet is now lowered 4 inches all around. it doesnt look like a 4x4 anymore. Thanks Nate

Fat Hack, THAT is an AWSOME idea!

Seriously! I have never thought too much about getting a four door, cause....well, they are four doors. BUT a street bruiser with all four doors welded shut and filled in like that would be too friggen cool.
No paint, no interior, Just two race buckets and a whole lotta mean under the hood!
Oh and by the way. I LIKE the stance of that car in the first picture. If a car is gonna be mean, Its gotta have a "HEADS UP" stance. Up in the air rocks.

why not take the front wheel openings and weld a pair in place of the rear ones so they match[plus rear tires fit better!]

[mikes51]

Regarding the concept drawing,
If you have a rear engine setup, with almost no space for a driveshaft between the trans and rear end, where do the u joints go?

[kustumizer]

is there anyway you could mount the yokes together with one u joint? nate

[hatch]

got the wheels back where they belong!!!

[Tim]

for the rear engine set up use a toranodo or the like front whell drive set up and put it inthe back;)

[mikes51]

Tim,
That sounds like a real world solution, hadn't thought of that. I had only imagined some kind of Jag or vette rear end coupled closely to the trans. Is it a big deal to make the Tornado trans or axles run reverse?

[Blownolds]

Nope, them wheels need to be forward 4 more inches. And there needs to be straight stacks coming up out of the engine bay.

Can someone do that to the no-door version? I like that idea too. Though I doubt it would pass inspection for licensing.

[Fat Hack]

Bring it to Michigan...no steenking inspections HERE!!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I think the "doorless" car has a neat, sorta flopper quality to it...the long window openings and lack of door lines give it a cartoonish look that would be kinda fun, I'd imagine!!

I did this photochop awhile back for some other guy. It was just to show that a simple clean-up and lowering would look good. Of course, yours is a four-door, so you should probably just smash it up and burn it for the insurance money. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

No i think my car is looking pretty sweet all lowered the handles are shaved so you cant really tell. I dont know why people dont like four doors. Its more room and nobody else really wants them and they are cheap!! You can make them look just as kool as a 2 door i think. Nate

[The_Monster]

i agree with kustomizer, granted there are some cars that should of never been made as 4 doors, and some even suck as 2 doors! but there are plenty of cool looking 4 door cars.

I like basically any 59-63 make 4 door. they are so long anyways, a 4 door makes them look longer, stretching their beautiful body lines longer.

But if i got a 4 door, id be proud of it and not try to hide it by shaving the handles, youre not fooling anyone, youre only making a statement that you wish it wasnt a 4 door!

course, they look the best draggin on the frame. just my thoughts http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

uh,theres a reason for that....

other than -mike-'s merc.Seans 57ford and tom greens merc,four doors are pretty lame(JUST MY PERSONAL OPINION)

[AHotRod]

Hey, it's yours and you can do anything you want with it.....how about Purple primer w/ yellow scallops!

[kustumizer]

im not sure what i want to do with colors? I want to do something to match the interior kind of!! Can anybody make this pic black and white for me ? Thanks Nate

[hatch]

OK????? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[quickrod]

man,i don't have photochop,but now i wish i did.you guy's are goin the wrong way with this lump.that thing should be straight up gasser style,straight axle and all.why not just fill in the center of the doors[where the two doors meet]and make it a big 2 door?you'd need a hell of a hinge though. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[kustumizer]

Hatch that is awesome. Thats exactly what i would like my cr to look like. Thanks Nate

[MercMan1951]

I always liked altereds..

[metalshapes]

I like the photoshop Hatch did.
What it needs now is suicide rear doors...

[studeboy]

Like Metalshapes I like Hatch's idea too. I had too play a little though. Hope you like it.

[studeboy]

Looks like I forgot to remove the small post on the rear door. Just imagine it's not there. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Eric

ps how come it show number of posts as 71 for both of these?

[kustumizer]

Looks Kool, daddyo. Thanxs Nate
