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

I just finished painting my "T" Washington blue with black fenders. I decided to try Wimbledon white on the wheels. I like it, but I'm not really sure it is the right color. To me it kind of takes away from the "hotrod" look. Can someone please change the wheels to body color blue. Maybe a white pinstripe around the baby moons. I would greatly appreciate it before I break out the paint again. Thanks.

 

@jaw22w

This is a quick one.

 

Thank you. Out comes the blue paint. I like that better.

 

Hey Moose... It seems after watching this thread for years one thing you should do after you complete the persons request is do one more with Torque Thrust wheels. You don't seem to ever get a comment that say they look bad.
I know when you did my car lowered in the front and added them and it sealed the deal from me. I followed the photo and still get compliments after 2years....

 

@jaw22w

Sorry, I'm too lazy to photoshop black wheels into the photo, so here's a quick facsimile of what it would look like
without the beauty rings. ( Personally, I think they detract from the simplicity of the car and get in the way of the contrast between hubcap and wheel.

 

I have always been a huge fan of the old style 5 spokes, no matter who the maker, Back in the 60's I had them on my Falcon Sprint and to this day I think they would make a dump truck look good.

It's just hard to beat the looks of a traditional hot rod wheel. HRP

 

Would it be asking too much to Photoshop the stock side trim? HRP

Well Danny I've noticed over the years the more I work with Photoshop the quicker I have gotten and conversely the more I work on my car the slower I've gotten...I wonder why that is.......

 

I think you might have something there. My first real hot rod build back in the early 60's was a 39 Chevy coupe and it ended up with the early version of the Torque Thrust wheels made out or real magnesium and my latest 32 Chevy has them as well only not magnesium this time.

 

One more..Trying to do the hard sell to the Department of War & Finance. I found one of these in decent shape. anyone do a flat black body with purple top? Or slammed and different rolling stock? Free canvas...Thanks in advance.

 

Well shoot, Madfish beat me to it, but hey Danny, if you ever have a free afternoon, a coupla cold brews and a pair of tin snips, how 'bout this?

 

Photoshop parts are cheaper and if you drop the stylus on your foot you'll say fewer cuss words.

 

Hey madfish! I been sitting here all evening with this up my screen. Every time I look at it, it seems it's missing something. Could you possibly throw a set of wide whites on my blue T coupe? I'm not really a WWW fan. But this color combo may just be made for that look. Don't really need new tires, but???

 

OK Jimmy...Time to test your theory...
@mr57

 

moose or madfish, will you slam this in front and take out rear door handle? Please

@jaw22w

CLOSE !!!

 

There are those Torque Thrust wheels again...

 

I like this, even if you're not feeling the white rims. I get it, the original rims aren't "hot rod" and that is a completely legit look to want, BUT, with that olde school body, I like the prim and proper antique body lines, and white rims as a "look" but the engine appearance says "I got some whalebone in THIS corset" to the viewer as you pass. That's what the impression I got from your original photo, fwiw.

 

@jaw22w

Fuck it, let's play....

 

Could one of you talented people move the wheelbase and fender opening back a ways to a MORE pleasant look? THANKS !!!!



Madfish,
Thanks, I agree,
It would involve quite an effort.
Especially the gas tank relocation, and / or replacement..
might not be worth effort. Starting point was also scary.

 

@verde742

This would be a lot of work. It would require moving the axle back, new sheet metal and reshaping the rear wheel arch.

 

HO-LEE SHIT MADFISH!!!! CRAP! DAMMIT! What are you trying to do to me? I absolutely love it. I thought I was done. Shit! Chopped. Lost the headers. Louvered the hood sides. Wire wheels w/ big 'n little bias ply tires. Leather hood straps. Did I miss anything? How much do you reckon that chop is? SHIT!
I have never even considered chopping it, but that version has the sinister hot rod look I love. Wow. I'm blown away. You put the "THE LOOK" on it. I knew it was missing something, but MAN, I really missed it. All previous versions pale in comparison.
I am a welder/ fabricator. When it comes to design, I am sorely lacking.
Madfish, I thank you. (But I'm not really sure you did me a favor. LOL)

 

It's Moose's fault.

 

right on Moose, you should get a commission from American Racing Wheels

OOOOOOKayyyyy
