      I need a chop.... Help!

      Anyone wanna be creative with the Galaxie. I am trying to get some ideas for stance and wheels and look. Could someone chop this picture for me? You can do whatever you want as long as the car stays blue. Delete chrome? Two tone? Tinted? Ideas? Thanks in advance... and be creative!

      You could use Jeff's for inspiration... Carter Hickman did a killer job on it!

      Thanks Kevin, that looks pretty cool. It's a 67 though. They have completely different body lines, so it is hard to tell what a 65 would look like. I think that car looks good, but a little plain. With the big cars, i enjoy a little chrome or stainless. Thanks for taking the time to find that rendering for me.

      I was hoping that the paint on the car wasn't too bad in my pictures that somebody could change it to maybe a darker blue (or just make it look better). I have no clue how to use photoshop, so I'm not sure if these pictures are a good choice. Can anybody put some 20's on the back and maybe 18's or 19's on the front and change the stance? How hard would it be to change the stance? I don't care about the background, so it could be put on a different picture...

      Can somebody else give me a different look with chrome wheels maybe? Any help on this is appreciated. Trying to get some ideas... you know when you look at a car for 20 years, sometimes it is hard to picture the car being different....

      Take a look at those and post one you like.

      That looks pretty cool! I don't know about the thick looking wheels (like in your previous post)... I think it might make it look to ghetto. I like the thin spokes though.... maybe the gassers or something would look cool too. The car came with spoked wheels from the factory I think. I've seen it with mustang mags and it looks ok, but I think that the thinner wheels look better on it. The lighter blue looks kinda cool too. Thanks for taking the time to mess around with it. It does give me a ton of hope. I think the car can look sweet if I do it right.... maybe I should look into all black.... but this car has always been blue, so I'm not sure if I want to change it....

      I guess in SC thin spokes are in but not in So Cal. Nothing Ghetto about these rims but thats your opinion.


      Now that is Ghetto

      I just want it to show off those big brakes it will have! I just don't prefer the "thick" rims although some of them would look pretty good. Reminds me too much of hotrod wheels. I like the more race inspired wheels. Thanks for your input though!

      On a '65 galaxie, many rims would look ghetto'ish... probably because it is such a large car....

      Can somebody change this one to a similar paint scheme as the above chops and put the same (or similar) wheels on it?

      Possibly Lemans Blue for the color? I think that would look kick ass....

      Sounds like a great deal and I really do like the magnetos, but right now I have $0 to spend on anything (graduating college), and I think I want to save up and get some forgelines or similar 3 piece wheels. Thank you for the offer though.
