Here's a shoot I did for the last issue of Custom Car. The TLBT 55 Chevy was outstanding in detail to the origonal film car.

Some of the shots were inspired by scenes from the film. This is one I took a screen capture of the film, used my phone to line it up, then you can see the actual shot.

Very nice.Attention to detail is good,even 'the girl' is blonde.

You'll have a problem with Warren Oates though.

LOL, this shoot was arranged at very short notice as I was shooting another car for Custom Car in the area that day. The model was actually picked for the other shoot, in which she is far more glamerous, she then had to wreck her nice hair and make-up to get the TLBT look.

Great work, one of my favourite films and some stunning shots there, they have a nice "feel" if that makes sense.

Brilliant stuff smile That's one of those films that is great and utter crap at the same time!

The replica car looks tremendous.

Nick,

Like those a lot - got a real gritty feel.

I'm not going to comment on the slight out of alignment chase car.
