Restoration 1957 Red Chevy
« on: Saturday 19 March 22 23:31 GMT (UK) »
I have a cousin who loved his red 57 Chevy.  I would like to have this restored for him, please. Hope this is not too much to ask.  If possible, I would like the border and houses removed, but keep the trees.  Perhaps have the photo lightened, and would like the silver-gray Chevy included with the red Chevy.  The street is an odd color and if it can be made a more life-like color, that would be wonderful. I realize it is really damaged and is only a vintage photo but anything you can do to improve it will be greatly appreciated. Scanned at 1200 DPI. Thank you very much. The link to the photo is below.

Just a try:

Japeflakes, Hello

It is so nice to see your name!  I have a question, the photo appears to show only the silver-gray Chevy and looks like a partial photo. I am wondering if there is anything I can do to show the entire photo?

Thanks for your help.

japeflakes,

Why do you say that?  Your work is always great!  I am thinking I did not download it properly.
Thank you very much.
