The day I shot this picture I remember very well.. I stopped in the parking lot after coming from the Site Shop and got this picture and a building across the driveway and then started toward the street.. I ran over a curb and the bottom of the car hit pretty hard.. I had not seen the curb and have no Idea why it should have been where it was but several weeks later when I went to get the car serviced the fellow told me that I had a dent in my oilpan and it had started to leak.. Well that was a costly stop for pictures, I tell you.. Happy Truck Thursday, Everybody!!!!!
Once again, I can't resist the neon and the overall atmosphere that the buildings and signs of Cars Land create. I think I envision them differently than most casual observers do. When night falls, I see them as an old city, rich with seedy night life and pool halls with 3 customers in them that do nothing but hang out there all day and night.
Maybe it's just me.
On my last trip to Disneyland and DCA I decided to only use my zoom lens and look for the small details that make up the big picture that I and most other people are so consumed by. Yet without those small details, the big picture would fall apart.
As I went through Cars Land I forced myself to see things differently and not accept the scene as the camera sees it. Just because the camera captures it as it is, doesn't mean we have to accept it that way. I decided to portray Cars Land as it might actually look if it were from the 1950's, out in the desert somewhere. It would be dirty, rusty and extremely textural.
As you will see from this image, some of the previous ones and a few more to come, I tried to give them that long worn and half abandoned appearance.
It's the attention to detail, both small and large that make Cars Land in Disney California Adventure such an immersive environment and so incredibly popular with guests and photographers like me.
I haven't done a Cars Land shot in a while, (I haven't been in Cars Land in a while either), so here we go...

Rust repair work on my 2001 Jeep Cherokee. New oil pan, old one rusted through in spots. Both lower control arms were rusted out and the driver's side coil spring mount was also rusted away.

We're looking for this mission and we're finding nothing but officer's clubs in spanish revival architecture of the military base - they we final see it, the mission. The Mission San Antonio de Padua is on an enclave island in the middle of the base. We drove into the base, accidentally, through live round training grounds over that distant hill with the recent wildland fire burn marks on it on the left side of the photo and bipassed the Fort's entrance checkpoint. Came in to that road over there from off a dirt road where I cracked by car's oilpan (it would slowly leak for years then crack wide open one day and let's just say that was the end of my car's original factory engine, so take it from me, always have a leaky oilpan checked out). A sign facing the road warned of dire consequences for using the dirt road we just used. We then came upon soldiers in full warpaint doing wargames. We just drove by them. Would come this way to experience this part of the Coast Range many more times, except going through their checkpoint. Ever been through that checkpoint?? Better have your act together because it is very rigorous. They first thoroughly check you are legal to drive, your vehicle is legal to drive, then after that give you friendly directions through the base to your destination. It's just funny to think my first time through the base I bypassed the the checkpoint.

The famous Oil Pan. Magnet is on the lower side. Note that the oil was changes just a few km before the transaxle was changed.

Finally decided to take out my Stance Coilovers rear perch out since it sits ridiculously high with it. Spent a quality day in some 65 degree Chicago weather and got the job done. Can't wait for the summer weather to get here!
For starters... All I did to this was basically contrast, saturation, levels, curves, and color balance. All the blur was how it was in the image when it was taken.
Today I learned how crazy low this car really is with all the sparks it produced. This car earned mega respect points with all the scraping it did all day throughout the shoot. Had to pull over twice to try and remove the skidplate which was protecting the oilpan. Sparks all day coming from the diff and exhaust. She made the trip up and down in pretty much one piece, but with a little missing of course.
Since the press sits on a slightly slanted garage floor, placing a full oil pan under the press would have a gravity problem, so I found an inexpensive cookie sheet that would fit inside the base, and it rests on top of the edge of 2" x 6" boards upon which the press is placed. It took a bit of clanging and banging, but it won't come out until I lift up the press again.
Quite a bit of metal gathered at the corners, so after trimming the excess off I used a steel T-dolly with a plastic mallet to shrink the excess material.

I've actually given myself a bit more room than the OEM pan by taking a bit out of the forward part of the sump. Better access to the rack-and-pinion mounting bolts, and easier to install the engine as well.
Taking shape....Lots of extra material is starting to wrinkle up, so next I'll trim the excess and fine-tune the shape with some t-dollys.
Here you can see the ribs are nothing more than some 16-ga sheet steel bent into a piece of 90° angle. I capped the ends for a better look, and to avoid rust.
