nice car

Yup, it is a true classic. It sure beats the styling of my little Corolla.

simson?? howed you do that???=)

Beautiful classic car!
I bet Mr.Green love it! ;)))

It's gorgeous!!

Zoopy,
To put my Simpson character in I used Gimpshop. It is a port of the opensource graphics editor GIMP. Gimpshop attempts to make the look and feel of GIMP more like Photoshop.

I got my Simpsons Avatar from http://www.simpsonsmovie.com/ (you could also use http://www.simpsonizeme.com ).

Then after downloading the avatar I opened it in Gimpshop.

After selecting my character, I copied him to the clipboard.

I opened my photo of the car in Gimpshop.
I created a new layer on top of the original photo and pasted my character in that layer.

I moved around the character until I got his head in the right spot.
Then, I erased all the parts of my character that should appear to be hidden by parts of the car.

I flattened the layers of the image and exported it as a JPG so I could upload it here.

Yes Poulet,

It was a thrill to be so near such a beautifully maintained 55 Chevy. Mr. Green got an even better look at the car than I did.

Lensvision, yes if only General Motors would return to the exciting shapes and lines of the old classics maybe they wouldn't be having such terrible trouble selling their cars today.

Another awesome piece of GM machinery!! Excellent shot! :)

Real pretty example of a real pretty car. The 289 V8 introduced in '55 was indeed a great advance (especially the fuel injected version which came along in '67), over the straight 6. However, brakes and suspension left much to be desired. And, of course, like most cars of the day, these were very prone to body rot. G

wow, thats a nice car.

Thanks for the info Grampie. If rust was a problem I have to wonder how much of this car is original metal and how much is composite and bondo ;).

What a beauty! Thanks for the add too!!!! :-)

It is a nice car. If nothing else, it is quite something to look at. You're welcome on the add.

Cool car. The Simpson addition is charming.

thanks. I was trying my hand at photo editing.

LOVE IT.....GREAT SHOT!!!

thanks Martini
