But it presented an opportunity for me to test my photo editing capabilities by adding the headers, which were badly needed on a gasser; and a chance to try my hand at blending lace painting, which I've not done before. Of the two, can you spot the differences, both evident and subtle?
As found:
The final edit:
Note that I also tilted the final edit photo a bit to improve the gasser stance.
Your thoughts?
Enjoy!

The second pic looks more realistic to a gasser. The rear wheel and tire fits in the wheel well better, the background is much clearer/nicer. Love the header work you did and the rake on the car benefits from the 'tilt'.

Did a final edit to the lace paint job, again, just to see if I could.
Is simpler better?
Enjoy!
