Old Background, Before & After
I took a pic of my 94, years ago, in front of an old Coca-Cola sign, close to my house. The sign has been freshened-up with new color and my Vette has been updated, as well. So I couldn't resist recreating that shot.

Excellent!!!
What a great Before / After comparison. A job well done!
I myself have never found a cool "Old time" Billboard like this to utilize as a background, so, a little Photoshop skills helped cure that. While walking in to HockenheimRing Germany, I saw a huge Coke Billboard and took a high resolution photo and layered that behind an earlier photo taken of my 2000 FRC in the parking lot The end result came out pretty good because I used a texturizer to make the background a "brick" look, so it looks like my Vette is parked in front of a building with a Coke design.
Good job above. Highly suggest making tat photo an cool 18" x 24" (or larger) Garage print. It looks THAT GOOD!!!

Post up the Coke pic you made. I would like to see it.
They are 2007 C6 5-spokes, (Silver painted), 18" fronts & 19" in the back.
Thank you, all, for the praise.

Remember, my FRC was photographed in a grassy "parking lot" with wooden fences behind it.
The Coca-Cola image was a Billboard as you walk into HockenheimRing (notice the German language on the Billboard, not English).
The Coca-Cola image was given a "Brick" layer to appear as if it were a building.
Color Adjust, Text, Framing.

Things go better with Coke! 
Nice idea with the time lapse photo. Your Corvette looks great.

Looks great! I plan on doing some covered bridge pics with the '88 once she is back on the road. Same with the '77 eventually.
Thanks for sharing...and the 'vette looks sweet.
Later,
Lee
