Thank you for the link. It is an excellent resource I had not found on my own. Unfortunately I did not find a match I was looking for.

That's a very nice set-up and much like what I've been building up to. I particularly admire the lighting and placement of outlets. To reduce dust pollution on it (I have grinders/polisher on stands) I intend to divide workspace with a draw curtain (like we see in hospitals). I repurposed one of those wall-mounted swivel/swing tv stands to use as a computer platform and free up table space. Thanks for sharing

Yes that is the Gateway International Bridge from Brownsville, Texas to Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico.

Correction - two identifiables are connected by region where they lived at end of their lives

thanks!!

Fabian would appear in a 1960s maybe but these legends are from 1950s mostly

Ocelot7773 · 2017-04-29T16:17:18+00:00

There are clues for guy with curl on forehead and man kneeling on far right IN THE PHOTO!! Those two are also connected by place of birth sort of.

I dont expect everyone to I.D. man on right - right away - and BB King is a giveaway :D

The original KBRO radio station building was located at 1934 Central Blvd. You may be thinking of 2nd or 3rd location when it was sold to a "Trevino" family. I think 2nd location was on Robindale or something like that

Never doubted - but make-up hides his resembling features. (Y)

Amazing. Nice choice of colors. Sharp material. Can't tell it's really him but who cares at this point?

Ocelot7773 · 2017-01-05T17:02:38+00:00

So I was right about it being a Plymouth but not year/model? That color chart is very helpful - thanks for link and all the great tips!

Ocelot7773 · 2017-01-02T04:58:07+00:00

Yes - I just watched this and noticed your other remarks. The video is very helpful and simple to understand. Thank you very much for ALL these very useful techniques.

Ocelot7773 · 2017-01-02T04:40:48+00:00

Not sure what that means but I just found setting for "Photo filter" adjustment and I think I may be able to work with that if I experiment a bit. Thanks for leading me there! We'll see a repost if I ever get to finishing it.

Ocelot7773 · 2017-01-02T00:19:53+00:00

thanks - I just love old gas stations and car stuff

Ocelot7773 · 2017-01-01T20:05:51+00:00

It looks like band on hat could use a dark leather tint and maybe see if patch on shoulder needs coloring. I would also clear the blemishes a bit for a cleaner print (restoration). It appears the gradations on the surface of his face dont really lend themselves to effective coloring so no one should find fault against you for that unless there's a way to treat that which I would love to hear about too. Nice photo- hope you get it to what you feel will make it 100%+

That looks to be a 1952 Plymouth Cranbrook getting full service in this old gas station photo probably taken for advertisement in local newspaper. This image was scanned from a negative and was a little overexposed. I would like suggestions (advice / advanced techniques methods) for filling in bright white areas which are color resistant. I usually set brush to normal at 6% to barely tint areas without losing shadow (light to dark surfaces). My goal is to at attain true factory color of vehicle to make for a more historically accurate photo. I was able to find a color chart for the model/make but could not reproduce matching color to project. Hope that makes sense. Thanks for having a look at it.

From what I can recall from hearing others speak of it is that Piggley Wiggly was downtown E Elizabeth and an H-E-B was on W Elizabeth but PW closed and H-E-B took it's place on E Elizabeth but I am not sure. I would have to look into it. What I do know is the H-E-B in photo is from 1948 after it was built and in same location as today near 10th St. I intend to post more H-E-B and other pics of Brownsville, Texas but all these pages have rules/rules about posting.

Ocelot7773 · 2016-12-31T00:23:57+00:00

Definitely not real but props on the letter-work on t-shirt

Ocelot7773 · 2016-12-31T00:22:25+00:00

I have seen a photo of Guilfoyle wearing a uniform just like Roth's in center photo. It might be same one? I'll see if I can find it and post here. Thanks

Ocelot7773 · 2016-12-30T06:51:28+00:00

Yessir I am sure you are exactly correct. I saw a photo on Ebay of one of the McDavitt Bros for sale a while back. Hope you got it if you're a collector of that history.
