Where did you get the snakes? [/b][/quote]
Got it now:
Snakes came from Speedsouth in Pelham Al.....

PS= wtf is billett? The men are talking again.

 

Funny, I hear the same thing from people at the local bar :scratch:

 

Adrenalin,
Man, your car looks to darn good, nicest stripes I've see so far!

 

Here is a side shot. Sorry I keep photochopping these to look like the car is in motion but I think it looks cooler

 

Adrenalin, looks very sharp! I like the look in motion.

 

May I ask a little about the stripes? Vinyl or paint and how much?

 

Stripes are vinyl. I put them on myself. I use to be in the graphics business for years (ok, you can call it a sign shop). This car is not the most fun to do these stripes on. You definately need to know what you are doing as far as the racing stripes go. The side ones are pretty easy but there is no actual line to go by. You just have to put them on whatever way looks good.

 

april, just wondering, do you have any plans for a blacked out hood and tailight panel? like the 1973 Eleanor? just curious. man i love that car

 

You car looks AMAZING! What size are the sripes? Also, are they painted on or vinyl? What is the size of the gap between the stripes?

 

Don't know yet......Still planning......

REALLY want louvers on back though. REALLY REALLY want her to look tough like Eleanor.


Some kid asked me today- is that a mustang... yes.....
Is it a five speed? no.......
Is it one of those automatics you can make into a five speed? ......no
Is that a cobra? nooooooooooooooooooo
But it has snakes on the side............ yes..............

I had to be polite you know, it was the pubelicks grocery bagger and they arm wrestle you there to take out your bags.

 

Oh also.....
I MUST have this..........
Leads anyone?

I'm not going to go into great detail here because I have posted this info tons of times... they are vinyl. 10 3/4" wide with a 1" gap.

 

thanks adrenalin I was just about to ask you the measurements lol

 

here try these sites, is that the one from Eleanor in Gone in 60, dont know how to help you with getting it on the side if so, but these all can be used to replace the back trunk fake gas gap (still wouldnt be funtional though unless you add a fuel cell), if you want it on the side Ford is suppose to sell their GTR kit and if they do they might add that gas cap in the rear quarter window, but check these out to start....

I wanna replace my REAL gas cap with it.

That site is car heaven- thanks!

 

Adrenalin your first photo is great but I have a possible Photoshop assignment for you to try, blur the reflection of the trees on your hood, try going in the same direction of your background movement. If you’re not into Photoshop it’s great the way it is, but in case you like to play with pixels you might try it.

 

I was trying to figure out how to do it.....I am a newb when it comes to photoshop.

 

There are many ways someone might approach this in Photoshop but this is how I did this….

Copied the original layer, on the new layer used the filter blur motion. Copy that layer, erased the grill area on both of the blur layers, keep the hood and front wheel on the bottom blur layer, set opacity to 75%, the top blur layer erase the hood and front wheel and set opacity to 45%

See original image on 1st page of this post.

Have fun with it, Happy New Year and God Bless

Dan
