(PICS) Using Galen's pic to compare...yrs ago I had to narrow the front track on HW61's '57 Chevy..

...it was just a bit too wide. '50's cars should have a "tucked in" look. I also swapped wheels, on another model, to make an all black, all stock 1/18 1957 Chevrolet 150 2-dr sedan.

First, one must defuse the influxer, then compress pixel count on the de-spooler, copy twice the....

?"bla, bla, bla?" all BS of course. To copy any pic is simply a matter of a few right clicks then save to a file.

I then extracted the pic from that file, resized & reversed it, then saved it (w/changes). Then finally I posted it.

All so EZ PEAZY; I can do it from my cell phone.

Oh wait, you're not asking that. I get it now... you think that my "2 car pic" includes Galen's car.

? NO, that's my model photographed about 9 years ago. ONLY THE TOP pic is Galen's car. The bottom pic shows my '57 Belair with the TUCKED in front wheels.

Next to that, is my '57 ALL BLACK 150 that HW61 never released. I had to buy a Supercar's black hotrod and swap wheels after I painted them black.
