Here you go folks! First ever Chop Shop contest!

Do whatever you wish using the photo above (courtesy of NetCarShow.com) and post back with your results within one week (by midnight EST on 3/20/08).

Remember, no attaching/uploading/embedding. Host your picture on one of the sites mentioned in the Rules and Regulations (http://www.blazerforum.com/m_142767/tm.htm) or a host of your choice. 640x480 max size, or link to a full size pic.

There will be a limit of ten entries accepted into voting and will be based on a first come, first served basis. Members will be PM'd to accept or decline entry into the voting poll. Once the ten entries have been submitted the thread will remain open until the week is up. Any entries after the initial ten will not be included in the voting poll. A minimum of three entries are required to start voting. If not met, the contest will not take place.

No place-holding will be permitted. If you submit an image and edit said entry instead of starting a new post for the sake of being one of the first ten submissions, your image will be automatically disqualified.

Include the title you wish your image to be named in the event of entry into the voting poll.

Winner as determined by member vote will get a prize TBD. In the event of a tie, the winner will be determined by Moderator decision.

ENJOY!

These guidelines are subject to change as the contest is ironed out.

*EDIT: Pic was wider than 640px. Please resize the pic or link from a thumbnail to the full size pic if it is larger than the 640x480 parameters. Thank you!

No, but only the first one may be entered into the contest.

Well...Y'all motivated me...and it was a slow day in anthropology class and statistics...soo..here's my attempt :)

I think those are like..38s...haha who knows..This was my first time really doing anything in photoshop if you couldn't tell :D

I don't get how you guys are doing these so quickly. I guess I have some learning to do about paint.net.

I used the free trial of photoshop elements 6 on adobe.com. Only took a bit of playing around, and a whole lot of ctrl+z to get it down.

Never heard of paint.net though, is that easier than photoshop?

cloak01ls that is pretty awesome!

looks like a silverado SS ;)

Icouldn't find much to do with it... I shaved the door handles, added a billet grille and put on the crystal headlights.

Thanks!I figured everybody would either lift it or lower it soI figured I would repaint it. That is a MUCH harder task than one could imagine (especially changing from a light color to a darker) soI just took out the silver one and popped in a black one.I have an empty background too soI can add in anythingI want to.

Its a small pic so people wont steal it and add their own truck in.

Guys, please realize that this forum is less than a week old and we're trying to iron out the details. I certainly appreciate feedback, but keep the comments helpful. There will be a lot to change, INCLUDING contests, before we can get this section running well.

Overall I think this is a huge success thus far!
