Very creative - and fun. Have you any experience with GIMP? Its free, and a lot like Photoshop.

No GIMP. I already have Photoshop, no need to experiment with another software program that's a lot like what I already have and know how to use. But I understand that GIMP is sort of a "poor man's Photoshop," and I guess you can't complain about the price!

Way to go, Harry. You made me pull out a 66 GTO and a 70 Super Bee and start figuring out where to cut/graft... <_<

A few more...

The Super Bee's openings are much taller than what you have depicted. An extension of the GTO's grille openings would probably work best. Lots of whittling to eliminate the stacked headlights... I may try this at some point.

Since the 300c is based on the '55 c300, this is what it should have looked like.

Just glad Plymouth didn't do the front bumper like you did on the blue '72 Road Runner. Hate it! My first car was a '71 Satellite and I for one like the factory bumper design.

Why is part of it red?

I haven't figured out a good way to change the color on that part of my paste to the blue of the rest of the wagon.

Harry, these are great. I also like to 'mess-up' cars with Pshop and Painter.

Remember those kits that were fiberglass 1940 Ford front section for VW's. :blink:

here is my concept for what Ford might have made if they had made a beefy "big brother" to the 67 Mustang: a 67 Galaxy Sport Coupe

Here is the original in case the changes are too subtle.

Now THAT is buildable...! I'm going to have to try it one of these days...

That's exactly what I said to myself when I got to the point of posting it. :)

Your Photoshopped Ford almost looks like a Riviera. :D

I think I've seen a customized Ford that Barris did with what looks like 65 Riviera headlight covers.

Maybe I'll make similar mods to a Rivy that I did to the Galaxie and see if I want to build that instead. :)
