Signature Wheel’s GT500 Adventures

[Tomster]

Well Hell, I thought you LIKED black rooves. :-) I was gonna paint it and decide not to. <grin>

But are the colors close to what you had in your mind's eye?

You know my rule of thumb.... If the stripes are black, then the roof can be black. You know... Guardsman blue stripes would probably be a better more traditional look.

OK, here's GB and a fixed roof. :-)

That's a nice look Kent! Terrance should put you on retainer.

 

[kilobravo]

Glad I got close then but I did forgot the roof stripes.

As for the retainer, having something to do wouldn't be all bad.

​

Edit: Added roof stripes.

Dam Kent! @Epiphany better not see this..............$$$$$$

Loving the collaborative engine builder avatar. Looks like mine in there too

 

[kilobravo]

If only the forum avatars were larger, Jaime but at least they're larger than some forum software. Hard to see the signatures but the full-size version looks pretty good.

BION, I honestly haven't checked Sarah to see who built my engine motor thingy. :-) (But I did wipe her off and put the cover back on this morning.)

Very drizzly, misty, gray day down this way but it's better than snow. <smile> Glad your fresh flurries are only on the grass.

 

[kilobravo]

BTW, since I have nothing else to do, (and it don't cost nuthin', <smiling>) here's the full-size avatar.

Well, whaddaya know, shipmate, that's pretty cool and I'm sure T is happy. Glad I could help, Jaime.

Ecstatic brother, thanks so much. I know @Jmeo is at home crossing the days off his calendar now. We might have to keep you on retainer.

Dang, @kilobravo. You should get a commission.

I'm thinking of those wheels, but on a Wimbledon white with guardsmen green stripes 500, but I'm just not sure....

T.…. Is this some kind of a hint about the colors of a thing in which you are having built that goes fast?

Now, can you make it a CFTP?

No, Mine is rapid red..... I think that the image KB generated in white goes very well with those wheels.

You know me, Im looking for the closest possible to OEM CFTP

I should have known, Tom but I did say there were "tinges." <smile>

But adding the wing could be difficult as I'd have to find a photo from the same angle, (or shoot my own, I guess.)

Anyway, yours will be exactly like mine, (if memory serves,) so what we need is a photo from T of a vehicle wearing the wheels you want and I can make that switch more easily than adding a wing to this one. You've already seen zillions of RR photos so what you need is one wearing your choice of wheels.

And speaking of which, what did you think of Jeff's wheels? I thought they were mighty close in appearance to mine. Let me know and maybe I can grab his to put on a photo of mine.

But I do agree with your opinion of WW and GB, it is a good combo even if it's unavailable short of a paint job.

 

[kilobravo]

T: I'm available. <smile>

But for future reference, you might mention to your photographer buddy that you would like him to add a direct "side on" shot during each upcoming photo session and try to make it from the same location and same side each time. That will make for more realistic edits to show potential customers.

The photos don't have to be a direct side on though as long as he uses the same angle and camera location but "side on" does show off wheels the most effectively.

Edit: Giving it some more thought, I think "side on" but a little higher camera location than say dead center. A shot that still shows the hood louvers and hood/roof stripes, if any.

Maybe just a bit higher angle than in this shot.

You know I'm just busting your chops. You are very good at graphic arts. You have come a long way.

Thanks, bro, I'll eventually get those tinges in future edits. :-)

But things can get pretty discombobulated in a PS document with tons of layers so things like the tinges can be difficult to fix.

Really, don't worry about it.

Terrance needs to put you on the payroll
