I was wondering if any one could photo shop the picture of my car from Blue to Red. And, if possible remove the spoiler. I think that a lot of people will associate the Blue with Ford. My car uses Chevy parts.

John, I'll give your pics to the lady that did my avatar, and see what she can do for you. My avatar is actually a pic of me on a riding lawnmower, placed in the cockpit of Kieth Tanner's Locost which is actually Aluminum/orange & black. I'm guessing she can probably do the spoiler, too!

While she's at it, she could 'Shop out the planks under the front end & the jack just behind the rear wheel.

Should be easy enough to do, though!

I don't have PhotShop, but here's an attempt at it with what I do have (an old version of Paint Shop Pro).

Good idea, Zetec. I'll ask her. She's working on them now!

I guess I was editing my post & adding a couple of "altered" pics while you were replying. They show more or less what you were shooting for, I think...

WOW!!!!! Thank you so much!! I"ve been out sledding with my 4year old grandson. I come in to get warm and see my car in RED! Fantastic!

I'm more anxious than ever to get the body from the fiberglass shop (It's suppose to be on Friday) and get the final build going. It's been 2 years since I started the body shaping.

Looks like Zetec's already got it. Nice job!

You might want to connect the side pipes while you're at it!

Can I state the obvious? If you finish the car, you won't need to Photoshop anything but the color. Just sayin' :mrgreen:

The help I get on this forum is incredible.

I took these pictures part way through the development process to help me see if I liked the direction I was going. The plug in progress was set on the frame. The frame was set on some boards to get it at ride height. The tires/wheels were rolled into the wheel openings. the side pipes are 4 inch PVC tubing that I painted silver. I used spray cans to put quick color on the body. After the pictures were taken I spent a ton of hours on the body to refine it. Then a good friend of mine spent a ton of time getting my body work to the point of being able to take molds from it.

I'm very happy with the Photo Shopped pictures as they are. I know that we could keep having mods done. For instance the final windshield angle is a laid back a little. But, very soon now I will have the final car finished.

My Lady's product looks just like Zetec's, and he got his here sooner. Good job!

I had to read that several times before it made sense. :mrgreen:
