I just thought I'd start with something that was obviously a big bolt (Billy -- I thought you might find that truck vaguely familiar ...  ) The AD and Art Deco big bolts look a lot like the little bolts from the front  Bruce -- noted about the '54 grill. I'll put that on the list. I do, however, need a good head-on shot of a '54 to work from, though (needs to be hi-rez, shot from a slightly low angle, and with a uniform/contrasting background) I need to do a Task Force, too. Anyone know where I can get a head-on shot of, say, a '59 GMC 860??? Thanks, John

Thanks, John [/quote] I can try to get a shot of my '54 COE but I'm not sure what hi-rez constitutes. As far as background, It will probably be just blue sky.

Hi-rez means 200 dpi resolution and at least 5-6 inches on a side.
If only 72 dpi, then 17-24 inches on a side.
Blue sky is fine -- as long as your truck is a dark color and the sky is fairly uniform. Even an overcast sky is fine -- anything as long as the background contrasts with the truck and is uniform (I have to remove the background and I'd prefer not to have to do it pixel by pixel -- it could be awhile before you see anything if I have to do it that way).
PapaJ -- Check out the mugs -- I just put a big bolt AD design in there.
Roache -- Dude ... like, whatEVER. Like Marlow says -- you just made enough off that storm to buy the whole web site. Now that you and Bill Gates are hangin out at the Rich Guy Club, why don't you lighten up and show some pity for us workin' stiffs, huh?
