Hello Folks,

This is my first thread start here.
I look forward to being more involved.

This is a 72 Nova that I heavily modified from a straight racer
to a canyon carver. It consists of 5 photos and extensive airbrushing.
It was all done in Photoshop. Nova wallpaper http://autoartshop.net/wall.htm

This is a 1969 Firebird project. It was done in Adobe Illustrator and colored
in Photoshop.

LOL, I would if there was any actual progress on it. I haven't had a second to even put a finger on the car since last fall believe it or not.

yup, the nova rocks. the changes you made from the source are really cool. coloring is solid too. btw, do you use PS? i think the Firebird colors kick ass too and so do the mods, but the proportions are a little odd ... normally, i think that is cool but it's a little too squashed is all. no biggie really.

Cool, thank you.
Please give more details on what you are talking about (side view, front view or both). Probably the side view? This brings up a point. I really should get a model of a 69 Camaro or Firebird to use to check proportions. I worked from some photos in a book for that side view. Cameras are uniocular and distort. Viewing a model will help this and I should start doing that.
I will fix it in Photoshop :yes: .

Yes I used Photoshop for the entire Nova image.

Someone asked for a larger RedBird I will do that and make the changes that
City_ofthe_south brings up. I also noticed that the far back tire just looks a little too small (side view).

Thanks again to you all
Al
