Need some car help

This is not a priority and I do not need a great job, but if I use your desgin in the final product I will componsate you. At least in Beers and crawfish.
Anyway I am building two theme cars, out of cars I just had sitting around. Each car will be designed for driving to games and tailgaiting.
First up is the 1986 Jaguar XJ6.
Well the second picture is the actual car, just realized I need to take som pics.
I plan on taking out one of the gas tanks and replacing it with a Keg, having a slide out grill in the trunk and a small cooler as well as a screen that mounts on the clam-shell hood and allows me to project 120" of DTV HD goodness.
This will be my dome car and I need it from pic two, to near show qulity by August.
The seats are going to be pig-skin and it will have tru-terf instead of carptet.
So what I need is ideas and designs from people like you. Later on today I will put up picks of the call at all angles.
Now for car #2 I have a Jetta, why? well it gets 30+mpg and it will be used for goint out of town to the West Coast.
I need it to be painted Creole Blue with Hornets colored trim.
I have a very high budget, I want both cars to have Fleur dis Lis wheels.
More money on the Jag than the Volks.
I was just wondering if some PS wiz's could put together a good preliminary to bring to my body guy,
Then after these two are down I will start building an LSU truck, but I want the Saints car done first.
If someone could put the gold from a Saints helmet on the Jag, and add a FDL, and make it look good.
The person whoes deign I use I will put their name and companires name on the car, plus a cash award.
Anyone who contributes I will do what I can for you.
I am going to whip up some farks of my own later and try to brainstorm.
In the end I need three vehicles, each themed to a local tea,.
Here I am 100% worried about the outside apearance I have someone else drawing up the insides.
I have just seen some good work on here before and decided to ask for help,
thanks.
Jaguar to be this color, with at least one large FDL.
Jetta to be this color.
each cars to use the team trim colors as well.
I am dead serious about this, and it could be a nice fark board time killer.
Regardless if I get some help, I will hold a crawfish bowl with beer and you just have to bring your selves.
Thanks
I will add actual car pictures later oh and this will be the LSU truck

sounds like a really cool project. Gotta say, sounds like you got a hell of a lot more money than that yard in the second pic would indicate
Seriously though, the lsu car sounds like I would like it the best. Something like this would make me think (unless you or the farker gets a TON of source pics) an artist drawing up some concept drawings would be better than photoshopped pictures. Kind of like how an architect will have concept colored pencil or watercolor sketches before doing computer renderings.
Anyone here a good artist?

I am cleaning out my two car garage right now, and have the Mustang and the Jag in the yard. The concrete is shot because I used to have a huge oak tree there. I have a ways off before I can get the flat work done, as I still need to raise the house, so yeah I have a white trash yard, you can't see the flat boat, the 2000 Acura getting front work, and the truck as well as my 740il In front of the house.
I am in a position where I have to watch my grandpa like a hospice nurse, so as to not go crazy I work on cars, that I get cheap.
So lets not question my budget.
I need a good FDL graphic design, and a nice graphic scheme, as I don't want to go all paint.
The Jetta I am thinking just blue with a FDB on the hood.
I will pay for really good renderings. In fact email me at
<----@lycos.com
I need to get the Jaguar in body work, by mid- May.
(I would have made a LSU vehicle a higher priority but I don't have LSU season tickets, I do for the NO teams.)

quick question, are you going to have the logos and such custom painted on or use vinyl? Because if you use vinyl it could be a little more detailed. I use vinyl at my dad's shop when doing this kind of stuff similar to vehicle raps.

I had a regular customer in New Orleans a few years back that truly had the "Businessman with a Party Guy Alter Ego" thing goin' on... and some money to spare on an upgrade. Being the bartender that I am, I offered up some wild suggestions... and he followed through.
He had a BMW M3 with nothing fancy added to the exterior - It was a'97 like this:
But in the trunk... SURPRISE!! Party A-go-go! He rolled the dice by not keeping the spare tire in the vehicle at all times - but with good reason... He had an black (which was the color of the trunk) form-fitted ice well inset into the space the spare would occupy. It had a cover so that it would seal while not in use, and could be lifted out to drain the water from a plug underneath when not in use. On either side of the well, there were 3 stainless steel "loops" to hold 6 bottles of liquor (capped) in total. Outside of those were forms to hold various types of glassware and a shaker set. On the underside of the trunk's lid were little elastic loops sewn in which held 6 pourspouts, a bar spoon, strainer and a set of fancy-schmancy glass stirrers. A German-engineered martini bar on wheels. Long before Monster Garage and Pimp My Ride existed...
Can't believe I don't have pictures... While trying to see if an image of this thing of beauty was out there on the Interwebs somewhere, I found a couple pics which may inspire you...
It was verrry cool...

Okay I had a game to go to today and have been busy, but will try to load in multiple pics, and colors/
I am going to need help desinging decals. I know right now this whole thing is just some guy with a trashy yard throwing out ideas, but trust me, here a nice car will be designed.
