rmc523 Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 (edited) I did this chop before the 500 became the Taurus and before the 08 "Five Hundred" was shown at Detroit '07 I also thought about putting the 3 bar grille on it, i dont know i kinda like the (modified) grille thats on it i put the originals in for comparison Edited July 16, 2007 by rmc523 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igor Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I like the rear, but not the front .. below is my approximation of the 08 Five Hundred I did - you notice I used the same original picture. The picture was done in June 06. Igor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmc523 Posted July 16, 2007 Author Share Posted July 16, 2007 You were actually pretty close!! i wasnt trying to depict the actual refresh, i was just making a chop, i shouldve named it something else, not 500 refresh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted July 16, 2007 Author Share Posted July 16, 2007 my chops may not look the best, but part of thats because i dont have photoshop, so they're all done in paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How's that? Sorry they don't fit on well, that's the best angle of the headlights I could find, plus, I only spent a few minutes on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You did a great job, infinitely better than the hacks at Ford design did, it makes you wonder what's going on when some dude on the net can chop the car using paint, and come up with an incredible looking design, compared to the shit Ford came up with using their multi-millionaire big name designers!!! If the Taurus looked like that I'd want one, and so would lots of other people, great job, I hope you do more chops in the future... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanh Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 How's that? Sorry they don't fit on well, that's the best angle of the headlights I could find, plus, I only spent a few minutes on it FUNNY...i was instantly reminded of an AMC Gremlin!

timmm55 Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 FUNNY...i was instantly reminded of an AMC Gremlin! Why? The chop or the 500 doesn't look anything like a Gremlin. If you can do better, please post. I'd be happy to make fun of your abilities....that would be real "FUNNY". rmc523, I hope you don't mind I cleaned up some of the angles and lined up the headlights. I think it's a good idea, the Fusion lights are a LOT better than the revamped Taurus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchdevil Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 With Ford's vast array of promo pictures taken in the same exact front angle and aspect it was easy to graft the Fusion nose on a Five Hundred with very little touch up...

96towncarcartier Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 The Taurus is being sold in Saudi Arabia as the Five Hundred. So that nameplate still exists in some parts of the world. By the way, the Crown Victoria and Grand Marquis are EXTREMELY popular in the middle east... Saudi Arabia and Kuwait especially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
