Harry P. Posted December 28, 2012 Author Posted December 28, 2012 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!

Fabrux Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 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...

Fabrux Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 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.
blunc Posted December 29, 2012 Posted December 29, 2012 maybe Harry could try that trick with a modified 67/68 Firebird front bumper/grille assembly.
darquewanderer Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) A few more... 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.

blunc Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 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.
dpride Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 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.

TooOld Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 The Riviera wagon looks pretty good , I just might build one !

blunc Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 (edited) 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. Edited February 4, 2013 by blunc
Fabrux Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Now THAT is buildable...! I'm going to have to try it one of these days...
blunc Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 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.
Harry P. Posted February 5, 2013 Author Posted February 5, 2013 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.
blunc Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Your Photoshopped Ford almost looks like a Riviera. 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.
