Recognition and Thanks...

Hi Folks,
Recently I asked bobj49f2 who has a lot of photoshop talent to help me by putting together a concept picture for a project I have. the result is the picture below in my signature. Bob nailed it in five generations going on my descriptions of what I was thinking by way of PM's. Bob did a great job and I think it's only right to give him proper regognition and thanks by way of a post here. After he did the job he said something about wanting my first born as payment. I knew there was a catch so I asked him how much cash I had to throw in to boot.



Seriously, Bob is a talented guy and should be commended for his artistic contributions to the forum.

BTW Bob, you picture of thr F-STAR sure has impressed the guys over on the Aerostar forum. CLICK HERE to see a larger picture.

Later Folks and Thanks Bob...

It's all part of a new fast track program...

OK, you don't have to take him. I'll try to see if that sweety with the '30 Ford dump truck is available.

Close but no cigar... It's the back half of an Aerostar.

If it was yellow it would look more like a school bus.

I'll add my thanks (publicly, did it already privately) for help Bob gave a buddy of mine. My buddy owns a local dry cleaning business and has put together a web site to celebrate the 100 year anniversary of the company. The below pic is of his grandfather with the company's first truck. Bob was able to take the pic and enhance the logo on the side of the truck so that it was readable. Bob is a very talented fellow. Thanks again, Bob. Stu

I'll publicly add my thanks as well. Asking to find a Tbird pic and add Boss 351 Mustang striping to it and the hood as well, so that I could see what I've been envisioning in my head, and he nailed it pretty close. With his pic, I was able to understand where I should put the stripe. (Bob, it'll be smaller than shown, probably just above where the molding is, and the bottom stripe smaller as well. ), big thanks, Bob!
