Damn, thanks for the work. I think I likey. Now I have to work out back spacing issues and "woobly" bolts. The stock bolt spacing is 4X98 and these are 4X100.
But I think it is worth it.
KompressorC230 and onecoolloser, thanks much. Now I have something to pine my attention to.
The car needs so much work right now. I'm into it for close to 2k right now, and she needs a clutch and some syncros. The synchros are beyond my abilitities. But driving it around is sooooo choice.
SeaCoupe sits unwashed now for over 2 weeks. Heck, I'm saving so much in gas right now, I'm kinda paying for the Fiat.

HAHA thanks shake. Although I like chrome wheels, I don't like the slammed look. If I could get the look of sanfs work on my car, that would be sweet, except these wheels are big, and the front rub when I turn the wheel all the way either way...that's why I'm reluctant to lower, yet I'll probably figure something out in the spring about lowering it when I end up putting the wheels back on after the winter

the same pull down trick as PS. then just edit here and edit there just enough to fool my eyes... that's pretty much it.
1. use "free-form select"
2. pull down the selected area (car body including rear wheel)
3. select "pick color" or copy area then use pencil, brush..etc. to fix up mismatch areas

I tried taking some of my old non-dropped pics and doing this in MS Paint and failed miserably. What you did is pretty impressive.

Couple things to note though.
When you open a new page to "fill" with your "pattern", make sure that the page is atleat 1600x1200 pixels big. Then Twirl it with the angle set to 50. It makes it a lot more reaalistic when you shrink it over the hood.

As a middle aged man, I don't find myself saying this very often, but that is just SICK! That hood would look amazing.
I have actually wanted to try to learn how to work with CF. I have a couple of pieces on my Fiat, I want to fab up. Anyone know of a website for learning, or books?

...but doing CF was hard for me. Go to the 2nd page and theres a link for it. I tried doing it that way but my PShop was different. So i had to search my way through it. ***If you need help just ask me and onecoolloser.
