I need to take the picture in my sig and change the license plate letters to read "MF GRAPE". It can't be obvious though, it'll have to look as natural as it does right now.
Also, please white out the lettering in the sign on the wall and blend the mop into the pavement.

Alan,
If no one with mad skillz steps up you can do it yourself using the brute force method. Using Word or Power Point create a document with the text you want on your license plate. Chose the right size, type and color to match the original lettering on your plate and print out. Cut the new lettering out and tape it over the letters on your license plate. Then get back to the correct angle and distance to match your launch photo and photograph the truck. Now you can just photochop the whole license plate out of the new photo and paste it into the old photo so it looks like it belongs there.
Paint will also suffice to mop up, I mean remove the mop and lettering on the track sign as well. I just use the 'box' select tool to copy and paste 'clean' nearby sections over the offending stuff. It works well enough that most people will never notice.

Massey-Furgeson Grape?
I'm going to submit the picture to Jones soda. They have a flavor called MF Grape, but I have no idea what it means (massey furgeson, lol). Jones accepts submitted photos for their lables, but uses mostly b&w. They use some subtle colored pics though, so you never know. I think it'd be cool to have a grape soda bottle with my truck on it.

Hell ya, that'll work! I take it that you had to add text to make the red Texas symbol work out?

Yeah its wasn't easy trust me. The hardest part was the license plate getting to blend in with the truck. Shadows are a bitch. That and I wanted it too look centered.
Good luck

On my monitor, the truck looks, well, black, more than grape. If you want to impress the soda people, photochop the truck in a more purple hue.
Just my opinion, seeing your truck in a photo, as opposed to you, seeing the grapiness of your truck in real life.

Thanks a lot Mike, I appreciate your efforts! If I can ever do anything in return, just let me know.

Yah, it looks that way in the original picture too. I'm going to submit it "as is", because they tend to go more for pictures that have abstract value to them, so I don't think the darkness of the color will hold it back from being chosen. If anything will disqualify it, I believe it will be the "Dodge" logo.
