Excellent score on the '73 front clip!  And the grill was in good shape too, huh?

Yeah the grill was nice.  You are not too far from me huh?  This guy has a little storage facility in Diamond Springs.

Very Jealous of the Great Clip Score!!! :o  Personally I haven't been much of a Fan when it comes to the "Daisy" 5-Spoke Mags, but the one you posted is the Koolest I have ever seen(Big Fan of the Ol' Skool Cast Center 5-spokes) 8)  Most I'm used to, have always been Full Chrome or Painted white/color matched, and just don't look right on anything..... :-X   With the Release of the 17-20's, and "Twisted Daisies", they have been looking pretty tempting for a "Retro" Muscle Car/Truck...... ;)

Flat black with scallops heh?

You must have been reading my mind when I photshopped my truck last week.  This is the look I hope to be at within the next few months.

Thanks all.  I'm hoping it comes out that well when I actually do it in real life.

Sorry to threadjack...

Man, I need to get with you and try to figure out photoshop better.  We got Photoshop 7.0 and I am still trying to figure it out.

Thanks man!  I'm self taught and have been playing with it few a couple years now.  I mostly play around with cars, but I've done a few other photo/art things for our house and family.  I'm currently running Photoshop 7.0 also but I'm about to pick up a copy of CS3 or CS4.  As for tutorials and such on messing with cars, here are a few links to get you started.
