65 Mustang Build!

[Huffy]

But I like photography! Hahaha

I'm planning to buy a DSLR soon. This camera works well for most shooting I do. 16mp and lots of manual features. The night shots I took weren't really planned so I didn't have a tripod so they're blurry from trying to hold it for the longer exposure

I disagree with about 99% of this post. I wouldn't worry about the photography thing. This car is definitely nice enough to have others with their fancy cameras to want to shoot it.

So what I'm saying is wrong?


or is it that he shouldn't even bother with photography?

Learn how to use the ISO, aperture, exposure, white balance, and focus to your advantage and get a tripod.

Also, don't rely on programs to edit your photos. A lot of "photographers" rely heavily on these and the original picture looks nothing like the finished version. These heavily processed visions loses the intention, and the mood that the photographer is trying to convey.



Unless that camera doesn't have a manual settings, it should take about 1000 photos to be genuinely good with a camera, even if it's a standard digital camera.


I shoot with a Kodak P850(easyshare lol) digital camera that's 9 years old and I learn new things every time I take it out to shoot something.

The only things I edited was adding a watermark/logo at the bottom and I cleaned out some of the hot/stuck pixels because the camera sensor is on it's way out. I did it free hand too(no tripod).

This one is with no editing and taken right after the frost melted.



I posted these to show you that even though you don't have a $900 DSLR, you can still take great pictures that express what you want them to.

Hell, I dare say that my photography skills are much better than a lot of DSLR users out there.

Any tips on how I can improve my photography guys?

Looks like you're at the limitations of your camera.

Ride Tech has this. I don't know if you've seen it. Maybe it could help you out without having to do a 4 link.
Good luck! Love the progress!

Looks like you're at the limitations of your camera. I think the first two shots are actually really good as far as contend/placement of the car withing the photo is concerned. A simple editing program like GIMP (which is free to download online legally) is nice to have to experiment with lighting and colors.

The Mustang looks good!

So lows are on hold for a bit until I can figure out how I want to go about doing it. Still planning to cut a coil or so off but haven't gotten around to it. Not too much planned at the moment other than saving for a full disc conversion kit and a few things interior wise.

I am by no means a photographer and I take my photos with a Canon SX500 so they're not as good as some but I hope you guys like them.








Notice the massive oil pan in this one

I'm not sure, as I've never built a suspension to that magnitude before. But I would think it would be somewhat cheaper if you paid someone to set it up for you, and it wouldn't be as adjustable as bags. The kit from jegs starts around 4k.

You have to have a 4 link setup for the bags in the rear to get rid of the leaf springs. If I got the kit from jegs I'd install it myself. The 4 link itself was 1400 last I checked and if I could build it for half that then I would. Never worked with suspension like that tho so Idk if I have the skill.

Thanks. On the hood and roof and deck lid it looks great other than a few specks of dust. The sides have some orange peel but a wet sand and buff and you'd think we paid to have it painted.


Yeah they have some nice kits that are supposed to bolt right in. Would building a 4 link be cheaper than buying one?

I was going to say look into ride tech. They both do kits for muscle cars. I've seen them a couple times on the Hot Rod Power Tour and they have great products and their cars perform well too. Jegs sells the complete kit in various stages for your model mustang

Oh ok. I'm going to do some research on what ride tech did to their bagged 69. They use it for autocross
