This manip grew out of a car that was originally photographed by 0930_23 (Tick). The sky and the road signs were photographed by yours truly and then all were thrown into PhotoShop and the result is this view of a dangerously curvy back road...the shortcut! :)PJ

Another Wow Peej. You sure brought out the curves in this 1939 Chevrolet Coupe. It is fitting that the coupe is black because it is owned by the local Coroner/Undertaker.

You have to love the lines of the old cars compared to the newer stamped out boxes they call autos.

Thanks for doing such a great job.

Looks like a precarious ride ahead! Wonderful manipulating going on here! Great idea and I guess this would be a collaboration. Bob's going to take his down, I'm probably not going to put one up! I can't think this imaginatively! Great job!
