Look in a car magazine and take accordingly. Front 3/4 shot in good light from a slightly high angle to see the hood (need to show off the color).. wheels turned the right way.. that sort of magazine nonsense.

Perfect angle and pose.. send the high res to stevenrupp@sbcglobal.net

About the only thing I would have changed was more light so the color didn't look as dark as it does (since the story is about color)

Thanks!

Not as good as the other one. But here are some. When do you need the picture by? I could probably go out and take some more.

I actually just picked one up not even a week ago:



M6
21,000 miles
SAP front end
Woodward hood
Bone stock otherwise

Yeah, I'm happy so far.

No good pictures yet, but hopefully this next weekend.

Here are a couple I have of mine. I think they may be darker than you are looking for, though.





If you want more high res than that, you will have to talk to the man who took them, OneMeanZ. He's a mod in the multimedia section I think. He should have some other shots of it as well.

Ya, Steven Rupp is the technical editor of Popular Hot Rodding Magazine. He has chosen my baby for their rag. Steven is a class act. The photo will appear in October's issue.

If you want to see a Barbados Blue GTO making gobs of power, check out the post on LS1GTO under multimedia. It's sick.
