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

And the '53 Chevy in the '53 Olds two-tone scheme.

 

Thank you sir for the terrific job on the colors you applied to my 53 chevy --- we are amazed at how helpful this work is to our deciding paint job for the 53 !

THANK YOU !!!

 

Please add your suggestions for color ideas and lets see them .

 

Something to stir your imagination......

 

You all are killing me with your amazing work ! My friends are going crazy with all the color examples ! It is soo helpful in my decision making ---- PLEASE keep the ideas coming!!

 

Moose just nailed it!! Look no further, just start painting. That last combo looks perfect!

 

That is the best looking color combo by far!

 

Some other amazing colors

 

You posted this scheme a couple of times so I thought we could take a look but not sure how much I like it. I lowered it a bit more and added tinted windows and wide whites. I couldn't tell if the front wheel opening had a lip or not so I put one..

OK, gotta' ask for some help for my buddy's F100, maybe an altitude adjustment and for damn sure a wheel change...your choice.
Thanks for any ideas, hopefully they will save the looks of this rascal.

 

You did amazing work -- I have a few favorites at this time. again this is of tremendous help. Thank you

 

Amazing work !

 

Just a cleanup and some old-style slot mags: little bit custom, a little bit hot rod.

 

Went with simple chrome steel slotted wheels, lowered, smaller side mirror to replace the monster and side outlet exhaust. Everything else about the truck looks really nice to me..

 

Dropped, ditched the bumpers and changed the shoes.

 

It not often that one see a Cortina these days anywhere......let alone in the 70's when my dad traded in a 68 Firebird 400 in for a brand new one and got money back :/.
We drove that car for years on vacations just transportation until my sis ran it out of oil and we lost a rod on the 10 FWY on the way home from Santa Monica.
I pulled the engine out of it in the early 80's took my dad to a place that had a few 1600's and thought that he was going to commit-nope.... It sat a few more years and I came home one day and my late brother Gary sold it to Ecology Center (Junkyard).
I was bummed-pissed as I drove that car when I was 10 to 16, I can't tell how many times I stole it before I had a license, but my ass could as I got beat...
Ours was a light green metallic wagon, thinking back on it, it was a damn practical car that preceded the whole SUV/Minvan deal by 14 yrs.
I remember getting a set of Capri wheels for it, it woke it up a bit. It's funny how such a non-performance wagon could be so special to a guy that had bought a 65 GTO Ragtop at the time of its engine demise for my sister and later a 68 GTO ragtop stick car for myself as the poor Cortina just waited it's turn to see the road again....
Sad seeing it at the boneyard......I looked at it for a second see it getting stripped, it was like losing a family member.
This is the only pic that I have if it. Yup that's me, but I intentionally cut my mug off so you guys wouldn't razz me.

 

Thanx Moose, RotNkuston, and Oahueli, I think the truck may just be able to be saved from the massive uglies!

 

No probs, I remember when those wheels were $36 a piece at the tire store and the salesman told me they almost couldn't give 'em away. Btw your buddies truck looks pretty good otherwise, what does it have for a drivetrain?

Guys, you all see b-bops thread where he posted this pic he took?

Anyway, he mentioned he wished he had noticed the power poles and missed em out, so I thought someone here could help get rid of those lines and poles.
Thanks, this is such an awesome pic, it deserves to be perfect.

 

One more.

 

Hey guys, would someone please the colors from the 56 and put them on the 53? I suppose one color for the roof and the other color below. Then reverse the colors. And take some artistic liberty if you want. I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks, NRM

 

Those are some pretty wild pictures Jeff.. I'd be headed in the other direction.

 

ok, throwing around an idea for my Cabriolet.

something like this.


but on a Cabriolet with a stock height windshield.


of course lower, and level with 40 ford steelies. in White

Can someone do this white with a burgundy flake roof and lowered a bit maybe narrow whites and Astros too for my buddy Flash? Thanks

 

With a little work, that '56 trim will fit on that '53 coupe if you really like the two tone. I have a set on my '53 from high school.

 

Wow, squablow that is cool. Lots of mods! I wasn't actually planning on putting the 56 trim on but the more I think about it.......

 

YIKES!
