Attention Photoshoppers

[natedog1284]

Hi all. To any and all of you guys that are proficient at using Photoshop, I wanted to ask you if you would be good enough to do up a picture for me of a white Marauder with a black stripe like that found on a 1969 Boss 302. I want to give my car as much of an old-school muscle car look as possible. In doing so, I want to be as true to Ford/Mercury as possible, and I have always been partial to black on white. Plus, I think it would be pretty unique, especially since there aren't a lot of Marauders around here anyway. Below is a pic of the stripe I'm referring to; I would have it go along one side, across the top of the hood, (closest to the windshield), and down the other side. I would not do the perpendicular stripe down the center of the hood. Oh, and I would change the "Boss 302" to "S-55" (between the separation in the stripe, right where the "Boss" is), and I would do the S-55 painted tail lights. If anyone can help me I would be very greatful. Thanks again!

FYI, that's a 1970 Boss 302. I know, I had one! :D The '69 Boss 302 had a backwards "C" type stripe on them and their hoods were painted flat black, kinda like this:

Oops, my bad. I still prefer the hockey stick style of the '70. So, any takers out there? I just want to make it a little easier for me to get an estimate at a paint shop, plus I want to see what it looks like before I make the commitment. Thanks again!

Hey natedog,

Here's a quick PS of what you were looking for. Credit for the pic goes to bigslim as I borrowed it from Rider90's favorite pic thread. Slim, if you want me to take it down just let me know.

No problem.

Silver on black, might look cool too!
Thanks, for you efforts!, Mike.

My paint job was inspired partially by the 69 Gurney/Yarborough Cyclone.

Same idea. True to Mercury roots.

Awesome! Thanks Sully, that's the kinda thing I'm looking for. I had thought/am thinking about silver, but I still really love white, so I don't know. But again thanks, and thanks also to Darryl for the donation!

Magindat gets what I'm doin! I like to base my ideas of of previous great cars to make my great car even better!

Exactly. If I could find a way to be more true to an original Marauder, then I would, but I can't really do that with just paint. I had thought about a Mopar-style hockey stick stripe, but I definately like this better, and as you said, it's a Ford style, so it just makes sense.
