Title: Some pictures from a small cruise
Post by: RobertE on January 26, 2009, 11:42:12 PM
Hey everyone, I decided to take my fathers car out to get some updated photographs of it, and also to hopefully give myself some more motivation to finish my 5.0 Rover MG project.

Just thought I'd share them

Sorry I went overboard, my friend took over 150 pictures and most of those are raw.

Terrific photos - thanks for posting them!

Hey, how did you get that background blur on the engine compartment photo? I know how to do it with a "clipping path" in Photoshop, but is there a quick and easy trick?

Very nice Robert......my kinda car!
   Remember that our British V8 meet in June is only an hour South of Danville. It would be nice to have Dad's car in the parking lot.

I'll mention it to him. Hopefully my car will be done by then also, but unfortunately  I'm still waiting for an ecu/rear end housing. Everything else is ready to be put in though.

By the way Curtis, I'm not sure I had a friend edit the photos. I'm going to assume he used the quick selection tool then applied one of the filters, but thats as much as I can help.

P.S. Thanks for the great site, keep up the good work.

Great pics of a beautiful car.  I am in Virginia as well and did not know pipes exiting in front of the rear wheels was legal.  I like that look.  Thanks
