FC hearse idea

[Moon]

Just a little photoshop idea I was playing with. Oh, & I grabbed the original pic of the station wagon that I used, in here somewhere, so to the owner, I hope you don,t mind. I'm not making any money from it so don't worry, lol!

( hope this works, been a loooooong time since I tried to link a pic in here! )

Hey Moon.
Nice work on the conversion.
Now when do you start building it?

Hi Moon,

I have thought about this for some time, I wouldn't have called it a hearse, I would have rather called it an FC Nomad. I think that this picture is better than what Harko was trying to achieve in his "Cut it custom 2 door wagon" project.

The long piece of glass would be the biggest issue, as well as the structual strength with not much roof support.

Don't you just love photoshop! You are able to see what the desired result would be before you start.

All the same, well done, now as Custom FC has said, the only thing to do is build it, keep us all posted on your progress.

mmmm, if my memory serves me correctly that would be Stinky's wagon as the "model" - that odd shaped rear quarter area under the bumper looks vaguely familiar! 

Photoshop looks good Moon - as Alex said when do you start building?

Does anyone know what ended up happening with Harko's van? I noticed the last post was that it was for sale back in June 2006.

I'm pretty sure that Carmine Carfano (SA) was supposed to be building a "shop truck" FC nomad years ago - apparently he even had business cards produced with "it" on them.   Don't know how far he ever got with it - but maybe Stinky might know - he may possibly have seen it when after visiting Carmine over a long period of time he was "inspired" him to take up trimming himself!

Yep, that's my front yard.
Harko's Nomad sold recently on ebay (last few months?)
I have never seen the Carafano Nomad, but last time I asked it was still a work in progress as is his "Infinity" Statesman.

Speaking of photoshop (at the risk of straying offtopic), could someone point me in the direction of a good 'how to' website, book, magazine or TAFE course?

I have purchased Photoshop Elements 7 recently and have plenty of ideas, but am struggling with the help section of the programme.  I'm not saying it is crap, more that I don't have the patience.  I have seen a couple of different digital photography magazines- maybe they are a good place to start?

I've got the very basics like sharpening images, colour changes etc but want to move on to selecting areas of pics for deletion, copying etc and am having a few dramas.

Send me a pm or email if you don't want to send this topic too far from the Hearse.

Hi Moon,

What about "The Pope Mobile"?
