    Sam, here's your "Desert Tan Metallic" and Sooulpower, here's your Grabber/Stallion. I had a few minutes before work today so I shopped them for you. (I couldn't find a grabber hood that was black in color and close to the right angle so that one is a little more simulated). I hope you like them.

    One last one...for me. This is what I would build if I was doing a Stallion. Lowered, chopped 2", hidden power antenna, blacked-out decor option grille, custom orange stallion graphics and pinstripe, small chin spoiler and of course the grabber hood. There would be a few minor touches to the stock black interior but that would be one sweet ride for me! Now...if I only had the time and moolah!

    Nope...I'm not the sueing kind. Just make sure you make the small bumper conversion the correct way and swing by PA when you're done :) . I'd love to see it in person and get a ride in that puppy! Good luck.

    Thanks a lot for photoshopping all these pics. That shade of blue is perfect!

    Thanks Ed! Y'all might see the tan one happen in the near future.

    I'm really digging the green ones. Ed's are great too, but I really like the exact shade of green on the one Jean did.

    A Lime Green Stallion would definitely be an attention getting car.

    Qicvick,
    This is the closest I could get to the AMX/Stallion that you wanted to see. I couldn't do the small bumper conversion but I think it looks sweet nonetheless. I even think the AMX scoop looks like it belongs. Now the harder part, go ahead and build it! Take care.

    Being born an artist gave me a head start. Scrounging through Ford dealerships with my Dad since I was 5 has also greatly improved my ability to simulate Maverick/Comets and other Fords. Photoshop tutorials are a great way to start. The distort and warp features, the clone tool, and layer filters are all very important when simulating paint schemes. Patience also helps too. Practice on simple forms and before long you'll have it down.
