Some new work; Dodge D100

[city_ofthe_south]

67 Dodge on Rushforth Fuels. Custom stuff includes, grille, closing the grille and hood gap, some deletes, flush front and rear glass, slight modification and reconfiguration of side glass (vent deletes and changing the angle of the upper portion of the glass and sheet metal where they meet), Frenched tail lights, mirrors etc. I believe it is planned to ride on Vette suspension. Out of four color options this was the chosen one. Ai 9.0. I'm gonna see if I can find the build thread over at pro-touring and I'll post the link if you guys are interested.

I always thought these trucks were a bit on the doofy looking side, but you made it look sweet. I'd like to see the build, I love to see odd rods done well.


Dude, you gotta upgrade to at least CS2. I went from 9 to CS2 early last year, picked up a new upgrade package for $150. I thought the price was fair at the time. May the universe bless whoever came up with live trace! I don't use it for the cars themselves but it can help make some wicked cool backgrounds and it makes it all cake to print on T's and such.

Thanks man. I wouldn't say it's my favourite truck ever but I think the builder had some nice ideas to bring it up to date and we made them work. Anyway, I like 9.0 simply for the fact that it doesn't have live trace to be honest. I only use radial and linear gradients as well. It's not really that I wanted to be a vector artist, it just sorta went that way so I try to stay faithful I guess .... or something like that. Only problem is that Vista doesn't like anything older than CS and eventually I'll end up having to use Vista. My brother has been for a while already. *insert eye rolling at Microsoft here*

O'Dell,

You did this truck right! Nice work on cleaning up the look of this ugly duckling. I too like to see these odd trucks and cars done well!

I have CS3 and the live trace is really sweet for doing cool backgrounds!
Now CS4 is out!!!

Damn I forgot to add that we flipped the bumper upside down, obviously got rid of the rear bumper, and did a little late model styling in the tail gate.

Thats cool!
I like the unusual looking stuff, I'm looking at a 62 ford econoline panel van, there so homily there cool!

way cool. i agree with using the older versions of Illustrator too. i think using an older version of AI forces the user to be more artistic (i.e; transparency was unavailable in anything before AI10)
