Not the best. But it gives me something to do thats cheap around the house. sorry this camera sucks so bad. i'm working on this 300c right now. Horrid chop, but I'm hoping to save it. lots more shaving and some skirts will probably be it. Eventually some nice trim to put on that long as blank body. looks like the bathroom is the only place i can get a decent shot. a 'vette gasser in limetime green. and a '32 in grape flake, not that you can see it,hah. channeled a bit, unknown race seats,other misc, stuff. nothing special. i got other stuff, but it's nearly worthless to post it in drunk-o-vision. hope you can try to get a picture of what they look like. thanks. *edit put 'em here because non of them are really 'done' except for the 32.

I like them all, but that Chrysler is tha nuts! Welcome to the board!
Have you looked for a "Macro" setting on your camera? It might help a lot.

Thanks for all the kinds words,amigos. Got myself a little boost of confidence,hah. Glad you can get a feel for them. I've been trying different ways to get a better picture,but even those took a lot of fanageling.
hardtopped the 300 today,and fixed the chop best i could without any filler,and sanded it down like no bodies business. I make my own sanding disc for the dremel using 300-400 grit, it works wonders, you could take primer to butter smooth,near-shine with it.
What do you guys think about paint? (on the 300,that is)
i got a rustoleum black flake that looks pretty awesome.
or another grape pearl i bought on accident. I have a habit of painting multiple parts and cars with the same paint because i'm cheap,haha. So the black would be a change, but man that grape is sexy in the right light.
Thanks again, i'll try for better pictures tonight after TIG class.

got the glass in,it actually fits pretty well. I kinda dont wanna run skirts anymore,but i hacked up the openings to make the skirts flush,so i have no choice,dammit. mildly better shots. The skirts are just for trial, i'm thinking a rectangle shape is gonna suit it better. Any one got any easy ways to make them? i always use 2l Coke bottle, it works decent,but it leaves alot to be desired.

That 300 is lookin great! You have convinced me to chop my 300 top! Personally, I like the red oxide primer. Skirts or no skirts...It'll look awesome! Keep it goin!

Oh yah... One more thing... If you have a zoom on your camera, Try standing back further and zooming in to the car. You are too close, unless you have a macro button ( looks like a flower). The macro is for these type of close up shots.

45mins to class and there's a damn napkin on the door saying it's canceled,assholes.
the camera is some shitty Oregon scientific Digi-shit...er shot. sadly, I have an awesome Powershot G2 but I don't have the software to run it,or any other foreseeable way to upload the photos.
any help would be awesome, i've never really used digital cameras a lot.
