I was playing with my PhotoChop too - I finally learned how to change colors without losing the reflections.

Here's a photochop how-two; it's where I learned to color. To get the lines right, zoom the heck out of the photo when your doing the Quick Mask and follow the lines in the photo.

ChevyKen,
Your car would look great in just about any color! I think yellow would look pretty mean though.

Hey, glad you guys liked it
I thought it was pretty cool myself too, but that isn't a part of my future plans for the 'ROC - so whomever wants to go for it: I won't be mad
Im not THAT silly that I reveal my REAL plans until it's done!! Let me just say that I have a "long term strategy" that I've planned for several years - and that the choice of hood, rims and interior color is a part of that strategy


Oh, and I wouldn't go that low anyways - I have enough trouble already getting past speedbumps and whatnot.

And for the one who wanted to see the original pic - here ya' go:
