[attachment=37][attachment=36]This car was made from the American Graffiti 58 Impala.

[attachment=39]Here it is photoshopped into a live background.

That second shot is absolutely amazing 'Vette! How long did it take?

Thank you
The car took about an hour or two. It's a heck of a lot easier to mess one up to look bad than to fix one up to look good !
If you were referring to the picture that was Photoshopped, that took about 20-30 minutes. I was fortunate to have the same angle in both pictures. I pasted one pic over the other adjusted the size and color a bit to match the background and erased averything that was not needed.

I can't get over that - I'm going to give it a try. Will post test results.

Here's a bit of a shortcut. You can take a picture of a car in your driveway for example and then a picture of a diecast in the same position and paste it over the real car. It still takes a bit of cleaning up, but it may save time in the long run. I hav eeven used flashlights or a desk lamp to get the light angle correct.
