Yep sure does.... Had my FordGT go through a shoot like that..... And the 56 is truly stunning!

When it's raining, 100+, cold or I just cant take the beast off a lift- it's the best desktop and the reality check on all my PC's....

Hitch - you really want a wrap? I'll do the FGT in Matte and know a great guy in texas.. If we get two or three cars he could do it here!

GREAT PIC's Thanks for sharing!

Here's few photos to demonstrate our little "studio".



Here you see the amount of black carpet we hung on the walls.



Pouring water on the floor, thicker the better...



Here's our Darth Vader aka light guy (he owns the beautiful maroon 65 coupe). We have the studio completely dark and he walks around the car with that light, the result you can see in the photos above.



This pic shows the reflection with all the lights on.



Here's the maestro in action.

And here's few more shots to show what we've done:











It's been really fun to watch and learn more about different techniques.

Default wheels & Tires

Hi, I saw your posting of your car photos. Superb. Can you share with me the specifics of the wheels and tires you have on the car? Size, backspacing, manufacturer..Also, did you use lowering springs on the front? I had lowered my 68 BB coupe quite a bit, and loved the way it looked and handled with 50 series Z rated tires. My 65 needs a little help. see it here:

Thanks in advance for sharing the wheel/tire info.
Doug
