I "right click save as" that photo-shop picture, that way I can see what the drop is gonna look like. You did a damn nice job too, alot of photoshops that I see are totally noticeable, not with this one!

Was it the lighting or the location that screwed up the other location shots? You got any you can post?

Just an idea... go to the MuGuires, Adams, or whomever you like using and ask them, they may have a solution.

Ok..Damn It. I want to see this paint on a ZR1 with a navy stripe!!!
I'd like to know what the paint is aswell. Op, i'm in Texas and drive a '72 c10, noone will know i'm copying you

I know PPG makes a clear coat that renders any color flat, forgot what that paint was called but saw it on Gears once.
My painter tells me the paint is custom...I think he just doesn't wanna spill the beans.

OK, so here's one from the first spot, this is a shot with a wide-open aperture to minimize the distractions in the valley in the background. Oh, and I paint-matched your door handles to stay current.

Wow, nice shooting Tex!!!
I need to learn how to take better pictures, does a wide open aperture mean that the shutter stays open longer?

"Right click, save as" Thank you very much!!
