Ah gotcha. I figured you were referring to the Jeep SSP package vehicles they made for police duty.

Photoshop is probably the best way to do that, but I have no experience with it. MS Paint is easy to use, but the results aren't as realistic as you can get from Photoshop. Tell me what you want to sketch up and I'll see what I can do with MS Paint.

FWIW, here's a pic of my Laker I sketched in MS Paint to give you an idea what you can expect from it. I pretty much copied the original red and white boat pic to make the grey one. Some of the lines got slightly blurred out when the file was converted from BMP to JPG.

So what are you trying to draw/modify? Give me a pic and a direction you want it to go and I'll see what I can do. That's the best I can think of until someone with real Photoshop skills shows up and volunteers to help out.

It's way too cold here to be working on my boat for the next few days anyway, so I've got lots of free time right now.

Yea, I love living up here, despite how I may talk about the winter weather sometimes. That's usually only because it interferes with me being able to work on my boat out in that tent when it's way too cold out. I've always known I wanted to live in Montana ever since I was a little kid of about 8 years old. I moved up here after I retired from 20 years in the Navy and finally got to choose for myself where I wanted to live.

Give me a while to clean up the pic and I'll see what I can do with it.

Well, I'm nowhere near that fast, or that good, with Paint. Looks like Micky beat me to it.

That second pic rings a bell for some reason... :boink:

*Looks up at Mick's THREE pics*
Umm, yea, I meant the third pic...:doh:

No problems Mick. I know my limitations and doctoring pics definitely aren't on the short list of things I know how to do well. I was hoping someone able to use PhotoShop would step up and help out before I got a chance to put my mad MS Paint skillz on display again. :lol:
