heads, stainless headers, Duvall-type windshield, Big/little tires, black lacquer.....pretty much the works. I love these highboy's done where 'less is more', as this one is. All I could do was to refine details. See if you can spot the areas edited to make this as perfect as I can.

As found:

31 ford roadster 09   PSY4a

After edits:

31 ford roadster 09   PSY5

It's hard to improve a nearly perfect subject.

Have I improved it?

Enjoy!

For one you cleaned up the background which made the car much easier to enjoy. Secondly you cleaned up the headers. Thirdly you parked the car in such a position that the Ford script is legible on the hub caps.

Also you deleted the door handle and cowl decal below the windshield....which improved the overall look.

@sizedoesmatter: Thanks to the three of you for looking carefully. There were a few more items: cleaned up the rocker cover, clarified the 'Ardun' script on same and lowered it a bit, cleaned up the paint on the side of the grill shell and 'repainted' the rear portion of the frame in front of the rear wheel. Bob Jackman, you have an unusually good eye by noticing that I clocked the rear wheel cover to level the Ford script. I've included an additional edit where I defined the S.Co.T blower, the rocker cover and further cleaned up the paint on the side of the grill shell and the wheels. Just doing this to improve my detail and paint blending skills. Thanks for looking!
