IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

A "rat rod" in an alley that probably has a few rats running around in it. This
alley is unique in that you can purchase a cool refreshing Coca-Cola at anytime
day or night.

This style of hot rod is sometimes called a "rat rod".

The car is a 1930 Model A Ford Sedan delivery van, "chopped" and "channeled",
with a
drag racing engine.





DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 


The bricks, pavement, and wood grain on the pallets are textures I downloaded
from the internet.

I used Xara X for making image maps for the coke machine, the flames on the
car, license plate on the car, and radiator grill. Then I used Paint Shop Pro 6
to crop and edit them as needed.

I used Hamapatch to make the car's body, interior and radiator shell, and on
the
engine to make the belt and air scoop.

Everything else was made with Moray 3.3. The hardest part was shaping the spark
plug wires and fitting them in place which are beizer patches made in Moray.

Irfanview was used to convert from png to jpg.
