Gimp is a lot easier to use if you just look stuff up on youtube. There are helpful editorials all over on how to use GIMP.

Lol its not purposely postwhoring haha just happens that way :P

 

Justin, seriously try gimp2 again. It's what I use (at the moment) and it's pretty simple once you get the basics. That and it's easy to do simple things with... I can bust out a half-a**ed drop in literally 45 seconds and do a decent one in 5 mins. And I do mean literally.

Did this one in a little under a minute while keeping up with a convo on AIM. Give me another 4 minutes to add a few shadows and clean up some spots (like the gaps) and it'd look a good bit better:

(trying to figure out where the front bumper I'm going to get is going to sit with the drop I want. Looks like speed bumps aren't happening lol)

And this one took me about 5 minutes:



Now, we're talking a guy with serious ADD here, so someone with more than a 30 second attention span could probably bust them out even faster. Once you get the hang of gimp, it's cake.

And yes, I know this is a month-old thread. But it's 11:00 on a friday and the forum is dead, and I'm bored.

 

Reaper you really need to lower that damn stang.
I know, I know. You want to spend atleast 3k blah blah. Screw everything els and lower it. It would look so nice.

 

use fotoflexer or at least try it

 

I'm working on it, don't worry. I just moved into a new apartment and got a new job about a month ago, so I'm still trying to get financially situated, but once I get everything settled and start getting extra money coming in, I'm going to start buying parts. The $3k estimate might actually be a little high now... I was originally figuring around $1500 for an independent rear suspension conversion, but from the looks of it, the average price for an IRS unit is now around $1k. I'm still looking in the $2500-$3k range though.

But sometime next month (probably towards the end of the month) I'm going to be getting camber/caster plates, and when I get them I'll probably cut about a coil off the springs (maybe a coil and a half, but no more than that) since I'll need a new alignment anyway. It'll reduce the life of my shocks and struts, but it'll do for a few months until I can afford my new suspension. And I know, I criticized you for cutting your springs when you did it, but from the way you explained it, you used a torch of some kind, and heat tends to lower the tensile strength of the spring; using a cutoff wheel or a hacksaw won't effect the strength of the spring. So basically, look for me to be dropped an inch or two in the next month or two... then when I get the new suspension goodies in, expect me to have one of the lowest cars on the forum
