Coupe 4 Studio Pics

In the words of Bruce..."SPECIAL"

Looks great mate that is deffinatly a keeper that could be worth money in the future :bow::bow::bow:

Very nice piece of automotive engeering excellence there...

Photographically, could be a little better once the phot gets rid of all the reflections. Basically, you want to see a streamline body.. not lines on one side of the bonnet and a shiny right hand headlight (camera left and right of course) :)

Having said that ... I'd still put mine at No. 2 (Mark may disagree ...)

:D

I'd also love to see them altogether ... Red Coupe with a Black Coupe either side ---> :drool: :drool: :drool:

Awesome pics mate welldone.

It's an easy number 2 in my eyes Nick - an absolute work of art and a true credit to both you and Sonny.

As a street car mate your Coupe4 is really the Ducks Guts - try taking my GTO for a spin through the hills and see har far you get with out the grief of Constable Plod.

Cheers Mark

I'd say put this car, with Mark's (HSV 105) Coupe 4 & his 427 Coupe, & you could quite possibly have the three best Coupes in Aus. Whichever is "BEST" would obviously be a subjective situation, & it's not important,- what may appeal to one, may not appeal to another, etc etc, & I know these vehicles were not built for that reason--but they are certainly SENSATIONAL Coupes--I'd love to see them all together.
To get vehicles to this stage obviously costs a few dollars, & from my point of view, it's good to see people who work bloody hard, really enjoying the "fruits of their labour"!
Top cars guys--congratulations.
Cheers, Pickles.

Hey Pickles,

Thanks for the kind words and as you put it both Nick and I share a similar passion - although seeing you cruising down Stud Rd. past the old Boral brick plant today in your GTO you're there with us mate.

:drool: Nothing I can say that hasn't been said already :)

I don't know how you can look at pictures like that without getting the urge to walk to the garage, get in and drive somewhere. Unless of course...... you do :driving:

Body Kit –
HSV Coupe 4 body kit with VZ Monaro “Scooped” Bonnet


Other Miscellaneous –
Xenon HID driving lamps + head lamps


:hmmm:


I think that covers most of it ... I'm not 100% on all the mechanical stuff, but I think most of it is correct.

Future ... who knows, but I am seriously considering seeing how it goes n/a, the engine is sensational. Might even try a blower one day. At this stage, no idea.

:D[/QUOTE]

Crikeys youv'e already :flamin: BLOWN me away.

Fantastic shots Nic....what a great car!!

Will look nice with the GTR next to the Coupe in the Garage.....might have toi get a Black one:)

Best,

Tully

Thanks for the comments :)
Do you have any examples of your work I might be able to see? :D


Unfurtuantely, the studio isn't set up how i'd have liked it to be, but you do what you can with what you have.

This studio was 1/2 the price that mammoth in seven hills would have cost me, not counting the bowens strobes that were supplied to me for no extra cost :)


Nick, if you can persuade Mark to bring it up one weekend i'll put them in the studio side by side ;)

Kyle's the man, great job mate.

Next time you have a shoot, let me know, my father inlaw wants his Harley done.

No probs :)

My work? Nah.. I'm not a photographer, but I do have a good eye for detail... considering I'm the only one that picked those little flaws. Everyone was drooling over badge as usual.

Some of us had more professional courtesy to mention it.

Also some of us realised that these reflections are due to the size of the studio used and how such studios are setup.

I'm sure Nick didn't feel like spending $2000 on a photo of his car to hire the truck sized facilities. (Magazines however can afford such luxuries)

There ya go.
See how there's no reflections?

Here's my eye for detail:
You need to water your lawn :lol:

... and get new tyres, and throw on some lawn seed. Let's not forget stage 4 water restrictions.

Hows the engine rebuild coming?

[QUOTE=NickS;1209480]Home again (nice fast connection) ... here's a few more;

Beautiful Nick, just absoulutely beautiful, thanks for sharing it with us.

That is one very nice Coupe there.
Looks stunning in the photos, they look the best in black imo.
Great photos + great car = masterpiece :)
