Default Need help making old photo look better...

Have 3 pics from Sept 1975 of my dads dragster. These are the only color photos and am curious to see if someone can clean them up a bit or where to take them. I want to get them framed with a plaque of some sort for his X-Mas gift.

Car had just a 327 2-bolt bored to 331 and ran a best of 9.77. Not too bad for a little nothing motor...

Not perfect, but good enough to hang on your wall

I like how the headers point at your face. That must be loud as ****. Pretty cool!

Bad Azz pics and dragster. The SBC was the only motor to run in the seventies, I know I did plenty of them. Man, I am doing the same thing with a pic from that thread i did on old school drags. Our old mans may even know each other, though mine is prob a little older.

Thanks Steph!

My dad has a nice larger print taken at the nationals in b&w that I want to have edited to show the color of the dragster and leave the rest b&w. Where could I have that done?

Does your dad still have Eyebrows? After running that, you would think you would get some burns on the face. lol
