Lightbulb Birdy's Computer Edited Images

Didn't quite know where to place this thread. After giving it a lot of thunking, it dawned on me...

'Put it in the picture Thread' - They're pictures aren't they?


OK - so here are some of YOUR photographs ('cos my blummin Bird hasn't arrived yet) that I have taken the liberty to edit - play around with - make my ideas and some of your ideas visual!

Hope those of you who I have taken the picture from don't mind? Please let me know if you do. Otherwise....

... I hope you like the modifications!

That's really cool Birdy! I like how you've included the stripping on the radiator cover. Nice!! Can we expect this is how your T-Bird will look eventually?

Love the paint Birdy. Can you try something for me? Do a reverse on the tank with the stripes? Take a looksie here....



Kinda the same idea, except instead of the stripe down the middle of the tank like you previously illustrated, run the silver color along the sides of the tank with solid black in the middle. The stripes on the fenders are fine as you have them already shown. I might just have to do this!

My brother is a graphic artist and does vehicle wraps and custom vinyl. We are doing my T-Bird today. Attached is a Photoshop mock-up of what the final should look like. I like Birdy's idea of doing the radiator cover, too. We'll have to give it a try. I'll post photos of the actual vinyl on the bike after install.



Well, my brother came by today and we installed a "Beta Fit" set of 3M vehicle wrap vinyls with the "Chequers" pattern. This install was strictly to get better measurements and to plan how to graphically terminate the chequer pattern for the fender ends. The pictures below are NOT Photoshopped... this is the actual first install of 3M vinyl.

We'll be doing the final installation as soon as the new vinyl is re-printed with all the adjustments made.
