A little tech speak on this update...Star's Chevelle had a couple of things I worked on. The front bumper and fender had a poster in front of it in the original picture...I selected the area that was covered off of Carl's car, copied it and pasted it over star's front, flipped it over horizontally and sized it to fit where it should be, then I trimmed and blended it all together. Also, the very tail end of the car was cropped off in the original picture, so I took the end of the rear fender that was visible in the picture, copied that part and pasted it over the part that was cropped, sized it in its proper perspective and blended it in. So now we have the whole car...that is an awesome car, Star. Beautiful paint job! I resized several cars to 90% of the size that they were...Mike's BelAir had to go to 85% because it still looked bigger than the rest of 'em at 90%. I moved Pappy over into Mike's burnout but he's still up on the tire...I noticed that mytmouz's blue pickup's windshield was separated from the cab and I discovered that the windshield and windows on that truck had been divided out into like 7 layers by me and I didn't remember doing that. Anyway, I put the windows and windshield back where they belong and linked the layers without merging them. Now when I select the truck, all 10 layers are selected in unison, which is a good thing. Everybody got scooted over closer and sized down a tad...I can put 3 or 4 more cars in there before I will need to rethink this layout...it was fun, it was like doing a puzzle, sorta. Cheers, WC1

Any picture you wish to use is cool with me, Douglas Star 393. I used the one in this thread...it wasn't hard to do, in fact it was more fun than just slappin' it in there! I'll be out tonight. Playing a New Year's Eve show at Lone Star in Pasadena. Wife is going, too! It'll be a great night! Everybody drive safely out there if you are going out tonight. Have a designated driver! That's what I'll be tonight outside of my music deal. Happy New Year! WC1

All cars on this forum are worthy!!!!!!!

I am certain as soon as we (meaning WC1) has an opportunity it will be added.

I am thinking a month or so out, we want to get a pic of Edmund Flash's S10 as well.
