a friend of mine sent me this message:
"Hi, I may be looking for a favor. I need a photograph of reasonably high quality of a passenger side view of an older panel truck, vintage 30s - 50s, similar to the one with the tree in it.

It should be a single color and hopefully no background. Prefer the "roundy" style trucks.

It is going to be the base of a poster logo that I have been charged with designing. It will be photoshopped to give a slight cartoon/comic book effect and will have the artwork for the show "painted" onto the side as if it is actually painted on the truck.

The owner of the truck/photographer will get appropriate credit in the program.

The reason I need a higher quality / high pixel rate / larger print is because the final posters will be 11X17 or so. So the base image needs to retain a certain look as the image is magnified."

obviously, it won't be a glamor shot of your panel, but if you are interested please send me a jpeg through FTE email or rreed13@nycap.rr.com. i'll prob need about an 8 meg picture. if barry doesn't use yours, i'll delete it. i think one of our f-1s would make a great "roundy" panel truck. there is a local one that may work but the owner is on vacation.

 

OK panel guys. Don't just email those pictures. Post them up here as well for all of us to see.
Since the panel will be photoshopped quite a bit, couldn't they handle a two tone panel or one with wording on it? Maybe Bob can clean up some images with his mad photoshop skills.

 

i think he can handle one with writing and/or two tone. the local one i showed him has writing, barry thought that would work but the owner is in canada on vacation and barry is in somewhat of a time crunch.

 

Would mine do?

 

56 panel ford, could very well work. i'm going to collect a few and show them to barry and let him pick one. we would need a nice straight on shot of the passenger side ~ 8 megapixels. thanks

 

will these work ?

 

Here's one I have of the passenger side view.

 

 

wow, some great looking panels. i'll forward the pics to barry and let you know, meanwhile, lets keep the great panel album going. just fixed a typo in my orginal post: email is rreed13@nycap.rr.com. dick r.

 

 

 

thanks again, guys. barry is showing the pics to his "people". my local option is not going to work out, so it may well be one of your pics. we probably will need a 8 meg version of a pic that would prob have to be emailed. thanks for your patience. dick r.
