Photo chop me

[macs55]

I'm looking at chopping my truck. Could a photo shop guru please "chop" it for me? Maybe 6", and how about some primer. Or how about 6" chop in front and 9" chop in the back. Thanks.

[macs55]

I'm speachless. WOOOOOOOW. I love the second one that chop is perfect. I'm walking into the garage and busting out the sawzal today. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif How about chopping out more from the back? Thanks guys. Looks great.

Sorry Mai Ki Ki........I could'nt resist....

Mai Ki Ki is really kool and it should be built. I thought I would go wild and go off the deep end. Thanks for the wide whites

Happy Trails,

Man I could do this all day. I really need to buy photo shop. How about some dark blue suede paint? I like the skirts, and the heavy chop. My goal is to try to build a sled/tail dragger out of the truck. Anyone got any ideas on how to accomplish this. Thanks. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif You guys are amazing. I love photo shop.

Chopped and sectioned

[macs55]

It looks like someone took a steam roller and just started driving! HAHAHA http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[JamesG]

I know, a little extreme, but what the hay? I wainder if he got out his saw?

[macs55]

I'm getting ready for that chop. At first I was thinking maybe I'll chop it. But now I'm like hell yes. I was thinking of blue suede paint, what ya think? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I couldn't agree more

[macs55]

If ya keep that up the tires are gonna be taller than the roof. I thought about a section but that's alot of work. As if a chop isn't. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[BLAKE]

Here's a quick try at the blue suede...

[macs55]

I was thinking a little darker but dam that looks good. Thanks Photo shop is great. I need one. Now it's starting to look like a sled. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[Kilroy]

I like Mi's version the best. Here's my take...

Channeled/sectioned.

[Fat Hack]

Here's my take on it...a little clown car tech in the way of shortening AND chopping it! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[macs55]

What would it look like with a chop and a pancaked roof and dark green primer? I like 62's version best so far I might have to create that one. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[flatheadpete]

Hey 40, How 'bout some meat out of the roof. Ya know, above the windows. I'm diggin this. Gitta get Photochop now!!

[Kilroy]

I think you want the crown in the roof.

I did lighten up the window surrounds a little.

[Tinbender]

Looks bitchin shortened.

[chaco]

I like Mai's.Macs55 I cant wait to see it in person now. get to cutten bro. i always wondered what one of those would look like chopped. Add it to my list of cars I wish I owned.

[Unkl Ian]

Stretched the door,raked the A and B pillars,changed the rear wheel wells,etc.

[macs55]

I like the idea of changing the rear wheelwells to make it look like skirts. Hey Chaco I'll get right on it. Though I've never done a chop before. I'm always ready to try something new. Maybe we'll have a H.A.M.B chopping party. Everybody bring your sawzall's. LOL http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Fat Hack]

I think you kinda have to shorten it a little to keep the proportions right with da chop...

...but I also dig "shorties"!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[76ltd]

nose down and chop http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[macs55]

Cool http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif How about the opposite tail down and a chop? That's what I was thinking of doing with it. Taildragger. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif Hopefully soon I'll be joining you guys in photo shopn other HAMB'rs cars.

[macs55]

How many different color variations does photo shop have? Are you limited at all?

[Mai Ki-Ki]

You can do ANYTHING in photoshop, it just takes a long time to do big color changes and the like....some things are piss easy...

[macs55]

Man I can't wait to get photo shop. Then I won't have to bother all you guys. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Photo shop is pretty cool, I like the fact that you can modify a car and look at it to find out if it would look good before you start cutting. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[76ltd]

taildragger http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[macs55]

I noticed nobody has done a version with a 6" chop in front and 9" in the back. Is that hard to do with photo shop? Just curious. I think it might look good. How long did it take you guys to learn PhotoShop? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Unkl Ian]

Dragging enough?

[macs55]

Nah I think it needs to be lower. I want the rear window on the ground. LOL. Yeah I think it's low enough. I just bought some bags for the rear. Can't wait to get them on and lay the rear pan on the pavement. Thanks. You guys are bad. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[76ltd]

like this

[The_Monster]

chop and sloped the back more, pull out the back bottom end more.

check out all her junk in the trunk! drag that ass!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[macs55]

All I can say Monster is hell yes!! I love that one. Although my wife says I should keep the front of the roof higher and not so chopped in the front only. Can you do the same truck just not so chopped in the front but the rest the same? Thanks. I think she is wrong but lets see. Thanks again.
Mac

[The_Monster]

ok, hows this?

[ziggyf100]

Sorry Mac I had to do it. Some of my best work, I think

[The_Monster]

haha, thats pretty good, i didnt know anyone refered to these years as toaster vans, i always thought it was later models. pretty funny tho! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Kilroy]

I just used Microsoft Photo Editer and Paint...

I have Photoshop at home.

[macs55]

Hey John I'll bring the toast to the next run. LOL

[macs55]

Hey monster I love that truck ya did. Which one do ya think looks the best the first one or the second one ya did? Ya mind if I use your idea and bring that truck to life? Thanks for the ideas.

[so-cheap]

Mosnter, I like that Blue one

[The_Monster]

yea man, you can use any of anyones work on here, thats why we do it!

we do it for fun of course, but we also do it to help you visualize your dreams or desires, so feel free man! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

as far as the first one or second, i think both look cool. its just up to you on what look youre going for. if you want the rear to look heavy and draggin, i think id put a bumper on the back and lose the front. it would give the illusion that the back is a bit heavier i would think. what do you think?

and thanks again for all the kind compliments to all! everyones ideas are cool http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[macs55]

Cool thanks Monster. The look that I want is taildragger/sled kustom. I think that one you did captures it perfectly. I like the idea of a bumper in the rear. I like the heavy chop better cause, to me, it kinda looks like a merc. My wife said that if I chop it like that one then she's gonna paint her mustang hot pink. LOL I guess there will be a pink car hiding under a cover in our driveway. Thanks again. I just wanted to makesure it was cool with you before I went ahead and did it. Thanks for all your work with it. You got some cool ideas man.

[macs55]

Hey Monster do ya mind doing another pic with the same truck only without a chop. Same paint, stance, etc. Just curious how it would look. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[The_Monster]

sure! here you go, I think this looks just as cool, and would save you a lot of work if you choose to not chop.

like I said earlier, feel free to use any idea youd like to use as a reference. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[macs55]

Cool thanks man. I think I'll leave it like that for a while till I can save some money for a chop. I don't know how to do a chop, atleast not now. Anyone feel like chopping this for me? Let me know how much $$$$. I think a shop would charge a lot.

[mikes51]

I think these take a chop well if the front is chopped more than the back. Rake the roof enough so the top and bottom edges of your side glass are parallel.

[KIRK!]

Chopping is for sissies. Now raising, that's for manly men. The look in '04 is garbage truck. I only had a couple of minutes before I leave for the SF show but check this out. Mag cover material all the way. It's gonna need a visor and some 70's van wheels but you get the idea. http://imagehost.vendio.com/preview/sp/speedgeeks/poop.jpg
