Thowing out themes with some Photochop... Can't Post

Since Cardomain ran a contest to "paint" their Scion xA for SEMA, I've been improving my techniques in Photoshop.
Since my own car will hopefully run into it's own theme someday, and I've beat the hearse angle to death, I thought I would try somthing new.
What's more classic than the old Corvettes?
http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2477248/2
What do you think? Any ideas for other themes?

Here's a (kinda) Camaro tribute.
http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2477248/2

I hate doing stripes in a quarter view, such a pain. I would build up a 3D model, but my modeling skills are crap. Anyone got a game with a PT in it they can grab one from? >:)

Still working on the fins, Aucrzr...

I keep track of which wheels/parts I use in the photos, so if anyone happens to see something they like, I can direct you to the brand, etc.

That is so brilliant, and sick, and so very doable! Can you imagine the responses you'd get to your PT Nomad?

Yes, it'd be very cool in deed... Cool

The only thing I'm not sure about is how close the scale of the chevy fins are to the PT body. In photoshop or other image editing tools you can easily change the scale of the fins to fit the body of the PT where necessary. I'd imagine that's not so easy in real life. Wink

Then again I have zero body shop talent so what do I know... maybe real body panels can be scaled too.

Probably be just as easy to fabricate the panels from scratch, and lighter.

And for the PT cop car...

This is my photochop, and then a photo I found online some time ago of an actual crusier made to look like a police cruiser:
