Thank you very much Vikki, I had a lot of fun with this one, as I remember and love those muscle cars of the 70s (yeah, giving my age away).

Great restoration work! The only things I would do now is rotate the photo slightly as the building appears to be at an angle. Try using the corner downspout for the verticle correction and I would clone out the powerlines. Overall great job Alan!

Really great work!
The only thing I may suggest... rather than using the cloud render in PS, use an actual sky from another photo.
When ever I am out driving (usually with a camera in hand) I'll snap a few "cloud" frames for this exact thing. You have no idea how often I have put these to use...
I'll dig up some samples when I get some time to post them.

Alan,
Thanks for working on this pic of my car. I wanted to make sure and give Flora credit for all her huge amount of work and advice. Others also helped with this 'DealerPic' as posted under the Help Requested area. I feel it was a group project and something was learned by all. I found the small detail work interesting with each different restoration. The first pic I posted is the extreme challenge. Take a look and tell me what you think. see DealerPic.

outstanding job. how long took you restoration process ?
dark (3 x) glass I understand is re-paint by guess.
No loss of perspective on lines that usually happens. Very well.

Ciril:
Thank you. I don't rememeber how long the restoration took (I could guess about 2 - 3 hours) but where there was major damage like on the siding (the rip and cracked areas) it was tedious and time-consumuning. You are correct about the 3 x glass.
