Custom bodywork and design ideas

[SirkWhyXF 1,533]

Here's my attempt for you, I've been playing for ages with images of the net but can't find anything that the angle is right for the front.

 

 

 

If you have a square on side on image in the current seduce red it would make it much easier, i can only find one in your thread from before it was painted.

Blue ute was close to the right angle if there's a higher quality image around somewhere. I'm starting to get the hang of making a pic fit another pics angles, within reason. The recolouring is what I have the most trouble with. Can't work out how some of these guys do paint jobs and colour changes so well.

[SirkWhyXF 1,533]

Yeah the ute angle looks good was just trying to find something higher res.

 

Definitely loving the gold seduce combo. 

[2redrovers 21,400]

One trick I hadn't tried yet was shrinking the red image down by about half to match the blue ute. Might mean you retain detail in the wheels as they don't get stretched out.

You both have done a great job, the gold looks great, really gives an indication of what it could look like. Cheers.

I've been tinkering again...

Rover p6 (Tc variation in the pic I used)

Turned into a 2 door sled using a roof swap from a rover p5 coupe

P5 coupe

Personally I think the coupe would look at little better as a tail dragger

[2redrovers 21,400]

Did you mean my p6 coupe? Here, I let the air out of the bags

 

If you meant the p5, I'll have a play with it later and see where I end up.

That's the one

Fuck I love P5s, they're euro style and muscle all in one. I'd make mine into a corner-carver, supercharged 4.6 and injection, t56 and big brakes. In turquoise metallic, shod with wide steelies and redwalls. Yeh!

I'd take one of those, probably in burgundy or green with auto instead of the cog box. Mentally drooling over the sound it makes already.

Love this........vinyl wrapped in satin black. Hmm....

[2redrovers 21,400]

Satin would look good but I'd go paint instead of wrap. I was pretty happy with the colour combo as it came out. Was simply the colours of the photos I used as a base and I think the two tone works well. If I went satin black body I'd maybe do an old school lace job on the roof.

 

You have to have a high quality paint job under wraps to be free of defects, so why cover it up. Just paint it right and it'll last longer anyway.

[bear351c 10,270]

Yeah sure.  Just thinking outside the box. I'm not a fan of wrap, but whatever floats ya boat. 

I'd still paint a car flat black, instead of wrap. Thought I'd throw it at the wall, and see if it sticks...... 

[2redrovers 21,400]

Got this one finished up. Extended the rear quarters to give it a better balance. Thought it could have one of those continental spare wheel mounts on the rear bumper.

[bear351c 10,270]

Ha ha...Mafia Staff car.......love it.     You do have a lot of shit floating around in your head, dont ya Rod..?

[2redrovers 21,400]

*gasp*

[2redrovers 21,400]

*chuckles * got no idea what you're on about bear

 

Here's a thought in progress on what could be done with a hj sedan...

[bear351c 10,270]

Not a fan of the ole Aitch Q, but like the styling...... that a Chevelle front clip??

[2redrovers 21,400]

Ditto, I like a Hz tonner but sedans etc do nothin for me.

Yeah it's a modified chevelle with custom bumper treatment.

[2redrovers 21,400]

Figured I'd chuck these here so they don't get lost in the off topic.

Starting point

First version

Shortened to same wheelbase as a '16 ranger

With ranger ghost for comparison

The way I did the rear pillar /window is more like a sedan but actually neither ute or sedan exactly. The rear door is a blend of rear and front door sections. Tub is shorter too. I think I liked the more upright pillar but this uses standard glass everywhere.

[2redrovers 21,400]

A Territory dual cab

I'm seeing if I can make it look a bit more ute-ish and less sedan

[SLO247 1,713]

Needs the tub line to be higher to look normal I think.

[hendrixhc 10,920]

Terri ute just looks wrong.
