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

I want to give credit to Moguy for the incredible job he did helping me with the flat cad aero work. I had some ideas but I wanted to see what the car would look like with the changes. We worked back and forth most of this week. I do not know for sure that these changes will take places but this is what we have planned. The front track of the car will be 10 inches narrower and will have a fiberglass front that may look something like this photo shop version. There are a lot of unusual aero problems when changing a landspeed car and we have tried to adapt the flat cad for possible 200 MPH.

Thanks again to Moguy.

Not so stock

 

No problem at all, I think flames like that give it a more sinister look LOL. Is cool looking the way it is also IMO (Blue looks kinda cool also).

 

Im not sure you have anything to change for this beautifull grill

 

Hi Gents - a couple of you were gracious enough to try a couple of different color treatments on my 50 Shoebox. I'm getting down the the wire for making a paint decision, and since it's going to eventually be my 4-yr-old daughter's car, I let her have some input. We like 2010 Challenger Plum crazy, so can one of you wizards transform my paint to something similar? Thanks!

The car:


The color:

I don't know what you've tried so far, but this is what a friend did to salvage the bumpers on his Plymouth, since he couldn't afford to have them re-chromed.

Crumple a piece of aluminum foil (about 12" x 12") into a loose ball, dump Coca-Cola on the foil and the bumper, and rub gently. He did it shiny side out, but I don't know if that's important or not. Start soft, and work harder (just a little harder!) until the rust goes away. Use regular Coca-Cola, not diet or lite or anything. When the foil ball gets smashed down, get another piece of foil.

He waxed it heavily to keep it from rusting again, and rewaxes it a couple times a year. This trick is for the chrome, like your front bumper and bumper guards, not for the stainless. I don't know any tricks for stainless, but I bet there's people here who do.

Don't use steel wool or sandpaper or other abrasives on the chrome!

 

Did this photoshop for somemone else in 2009. Inspired by a 58 Ford grille

Thanks for the tip! Might have to try that on the bumpers. The stainless looks good it is just all beat up in spots.

 

Perfect, thanks! Any chance of throwing these wheels on it? I'm most likely going to run it without the skirts.
