///////art Challenge#6: 02-08-08\\\\\\\

Nate's been busy so he threw the challenge into my court. May I start by humbly thanking everyone for their comments and compliments on challenge #5. I really didn't expect the response I received.
(AND, we're looking for you!)

Without further delay, here's my challenge... (why do I feel like the Chairman of the board of the Iron Chef???)

1946 Chevrolet Pickup, Suburban or Panel Delivery.

Fix me...


Your my only hope...


Refined and nicely finished but I want more...


You get the point,...H.A.M.B.,...Do your stuff.


We'll meet back here when all submissions are due, on Friday February 22nd. I'll get back to you on how long the poles will be open...enjoy!!!

 

Very cool idea.

 

Cool. I may do something for this one and giveit to my Dad. He had a 46 when I was a kid.

 

this one's done

 

this was actually first attempt at building a hot rod....

 

Can it be other body styles?

HEY!!! thats not a 46-48 Chevy coupe!!!

 

This has potential! I can see this going many different ways...Ideas are flyin round my one brain cell! Congrats Jigger on the Chairman of the board position! Fine subject for us to "Muck up"!

Nate quit workin so hard!

 

That is one sweet pickup! Good job! Im gonna steal it for a template, if you don't mind!

 

No it's not but it is a bit freaky how close our ideas were. I think the coupe would present an excelent challenge down the road so stay tooned (oops, I mean tuned,... stupid cartoonists...)

Glad you guys are climbing on board, I couldn't stand to hear you squirming. Get goin'...

 

Dudes this one is gonna be fun!

I predict that I will be a thread hog here, so if I get out of hand just tell me to shut up! Heres a chop job/ idea sheet for Challenge #6!
I chose "Nose Dragger" so look out!

thanks lesabre59 for the deciding pic!

 

Heres one from thirty years ago...Kiwi Kevs yellow truck before he chopped the top and repowered it with a GMC

 

Cool line up! Ya have any "after" pics of the chop?

 

I lost most of mine,but in some of the old New Zealand Hot Rod mags there pics of Kev at the drags doing a burnout...

 

Here's a sneak peek of mine going from picture to pixels:

Thanks,
Kurt

 

Here's that big monster shown at the start of this thread chopped.

Alright, somehow... after hours... not being able to stop... I went from this:


...to this:


Ha ha.

Photobucket won't upload it as a .bmp file, and for some reason the full moon is showing up white instead of pale yellow like the sign background.

Thanks,
Kurt

 

I dig this stuff.

Just so I'm clear, is the challenge strictly based on the pictures you've posted?? The image I've attched for this post is not one of the photo's but I'd altered this photo for someone on the HAMB that asked for Photoshop help and was stupid enough not to mark the post. So, in the interest of the challenge and hopefully finding the owner of their new car, here's my entry.

Chopped, channeled, nosed, shaved, frenched, Bill Hines flared rear fenders, 4-door to 2-door, spotlights, skirts, extended body line, hubcaps. I tried to paint it but wasn't satisfied with my results, so it's primed and ready.

Here is my first one.....

 

First is the concept!

Second is the drawing.

I am still not satisfied with it, but what the hell! Heres a 46' woody panel!

 

I chopped the rusty one also but decided that was as far as
I would go on that one.

Your drawing looking nice, good design

 

Bought this when I was 17. It was my project/transportation for a few years. late 70's.

 

Bump bumped!

 

Bump, bumped.

 

Helloooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Any artists in here?

 

I am thinking of what to do

 

Does it have to be a drawing or can it be photo with computer help?

Jigger you got the last word on this, but I think art is art, no matter how it is produced! As long as it is not copied!
