My Sebring Silver AP1 - 126XXX Miles and Going Strong.
Hey all,
Just wanted to share a few shots I recently took of my old girl. She's up there in mileage, daily driven, tracked twice a month, and she runs and drives as strongly as ever. The car is pretty dirt in these photos, but I was half way through a roll and needed to kill it so I could load up some B&W. These were taken on Kodak Portra 160 film, with my Nikon F4. I tried to minimize any editing I did to correcting the crop and the most basic exposure adjustment. Tell me what you think! Cheers!

I do, but because the car sees the track so often, and because the area I live in has pretty terrible roads, I'm not too motivated to get one. If an OEM lip pops up for the right price, I'll buy it and store it until the car no longer sees track duty. I hate replica AP1 lips because, generally, they fit like shit, and its really obvious if you have a rep because of the mounting points on either side of the bumper.

I didn't know you shot these on film- just curious, what's your process? Develop and then scan, and photoshop for corrections?
It looks great, I want to pick up a film camera at some point to mess around with.

Yeah, I have a local shop develop it for me in batches. I have them just develop the film and sort the negatives. I'll take them home and use a negative scanner to digitize them, import them into Lightroom, make whatever corrections I have to, like removing dust spots, etc.
