PHR Article Picked up the latest copy of Popular Hot Rodding, and was pleased to see the pictorial of Steven Rupp's '69 LS1. Congrats to Steve on the new job. Sorry about the major drools over the pics of the car. What a beautiful ride.

That pic of the '68 is my new background. Those are some sweet cars. Oh, and I saw your 2000 SS the other day Steve. The lady who bought it is a member of a car club im in and she brought it to a show. Of course it won its class, but I gotta say, that is the most amazing 4th gen i've ever seen. The details on it are incredible.

Oh, sorry about that....
Hey Steve, maybe you could give me some insight. When you make the background black and white like that, is there an easier way than manually drawing a line around the car to crop it out?

Was pretty easy.

Oh and I'm sure I don't have to tell you, you know how to build some awesome cars. I'd definitely have rides like yours if I had the coinage. Good stuff.
EDIT: About a 5 min job:
Not too bad. Much easier than the other way I was doing it, let me tell you...
