Saturday pics (3-21) Some details....
 

Hey guys! I kept kinda close to the house this week...tried to make the best of it. After all there is so much more to these old trucks then what we see at a glance!

as always great work. especially like the seat scroll work with the seat belt buckle.

nice, nice, nice!

Re: Saturday pics (3-21) Some details....
 

lovin it.
Although, I have to say, whenever I try taking pics like this, I look back at yours, and I feel a little sick.

Re: Saturday pics (3-21) Some details....
 

Love the scroll shots Asa, great pics!

Re: Saturday pics (3-21) Some details....
 

I love the radio shots. I'll have to show the ricer kid at work. When you have real V8 sound, you don't need 'screens' and neon-lit speaker boxes.

Re: Saturday pics (3-21) Some details....
 

Thanks guys! The scrollwork shots were some of my favorites!!!

Re: Saturday pics (3-21) Some details....
 

Great shots, did you use a digital or film cameras?

How many old vehicles do you have?.... wish mine were in that kinda shape. If I do closeups... all I'll get is rust :D

Re: Saturday pics (3-21) Some details....
 

As usual your picts are great!!!!


I am going to have to tow my truck to Georgia in July when I go on vacation to the lake house and pay you to shoot picts of my bucket!!
:metal:

Re: Saturday pics (3-21) Some details....
 

You have a good eye for whats cool.

Re: Saturday pics (3-21) Some details....
 

Thanks guys!! I'm all digital. Point & Shoot, auto focus, keeps it simple.:lol:

We've got a handful of old trucks and cars around here. Some of em are a bit more broken in then others...

Re: Saturday pics (3-21) Some details....
 

tight!

Re: Saturday pics (3-21) Some details....
 

Beautiful shots.

Point and shoot, you say? Really?

Those look like digital SLR shots to me...

Re: Saturday pics (3-21) Some details....
 

He has's a pretty beefy point and shoot if I remember right. I envy it lol...

I love the 54.. Is the machine-turned dash stock?

Re: Saturday pics (3-21) Some details....
 

Great shots as always

Re: Saturday pics (3-21) Some details....
 

I like those 75 MPH shots out of christie! Driving it like it should be driven.;):metal::metal::lol::lol::lol::chevy:

Re: Saturday pics (3-21) Some details....
 

Everytime I take a picture, I always think
"how would Asa shoot this?"
You really make me look for that special angle or setting.
You've helped a lot of us become better photograpers.
(But I'll never be as Worthless as you)
:lol:

Re: Saturday pics (3-21) Some details....
 

Good shots Asa.

Re: Saturday pics (3-21) Some details....
 

Thanks guys!

Yep, All I've been using is a couple of old point and shoot cameras. All of these shots were done with this one on the auto setting.

This is the factory cluster that we removed from the 54.

Brian carried the stock bezel along with one of the gauges to a friend that has access to some pretty serious equipment. He scanned all the dimensions in to a computer and was able to barely make all four fit in the space that we had to work with. He then laser cut us a panel from stainless. The turned design is actually a decal that's used for the restoration of dashboards and consoles of early 60s Impalas.

Re: Saturday pics (3-21) Some details....
 

you've even striped your camera?!!

Asa, you are my hero!!!

Re: Saturday pics (3-21) Some details....
 

Sweet Pics!

Re: Saturday pics (3-21) Some details....
 

Asa, that's just, well, Worthless. ;)
Always enjoy 'em.

Re: Saturday pics (3-21) Some details....
 

You can have the fanciest fantabulous camera in the world and still take crappy pictures. But if you have a good eye for composition and a few photo filter effects a person can go far even without all the fancy doodads.

I have a decent digital slr camera and it takes me a lot of shots to get one that comes out as cool as yours. Landscape stuff I can do, I just cant get the hang of what I call the cool "artsy" shots...Someday =)

Re: Saturday pics (3-21) Some details....
 

when you said you had a camera just like mine, i figured you ment an old camera you never use any more.... like one you'd gove to the wife or something.
No i DO feel sick.
