I'm in the process of making up some new condition report forms for vehicle inspections. Need some outline drawings of vehicles similar to the ones shown below. Would anyone know of a good source for drawings like this? (I'm going to need ones for a generic car, pickup, van and SUV. This car one's not too bad, but the truck and van ones I have are terrible and don't have an SUV one at all)
Thanks in advance for any info.

Thanks jimi, but unless I'm missing something they appear to be offering custom decal/appliqués for vehicles. All I'm really looking for is some outline drawings similar to the one I posted, where an inspector could mark location/extent of damages (scratches, dents, rust etc) as part of a vehicle condition report.

Maxx - that's definitely closer to what I'm looking for.
Perhaps too detailed with the cutaways, though - doesn't leave much clear space to mark the damages.

sorry 'bout that, just saw the wording and didn't really look, never done that before

Here's one I made from a photo...

Thanks, Max -

I was hoping to be able to find something premade, so I could avoid sitting down with photoshop and a pile of my photos, but that's probably what it will take. Certainly wasn't trying to put you to work..
I know images like this exist - just haven't found them yet.
Basically I'm going to need 3 views of each vehicle with as few details as possible. The forms we're currently using are multi-generation photocopies - not terribly legible, and with outdated options (e.g. vinyl roof; no mention of CD player, etc). Got the new forms made up (see example) - just need some good images to insert.

maybe this ?

Jakoval, you would be better doing the original artwork in Illustrator that Photoshop. 700mb's pics are great as a base for that but are a little too low resolution to make it easy.

700 can you post the side and overhead shots in a higher resolution to use as a backdrop to draw over in illustrator? And do they have top be in .GIF format, not JPEG or TIFF?

Given a little time I can do that for you.

[AlbertB]

On checking this it seems that .GIFs are fine, but as I thought at that resolution they are very blocky to draw over. Not impossible but bigger images would be easier.

[jakoval]

700.. - yes, those are very much the sort of thing I'm looking for. If you wouldn't mind, could you possibly let me know your source for those?

Albert - You're probably right about Illustrator, but I don't have enough use for it to justify the expense at this time. I appreciate your interest, but I'm really not trying to put anyone out with this - just a "spare time" project for work.
As far as format goes - doesn't much matter. I posted the samples as gifs to give a general idea of what I'm looking for without burdening folks with huge files. The reports themselves were created in MS Word with the intent of inserting the images as in the example. (I know - Publisher or some such would probably work better for this, but I'm trying to "make do" with what I have available.)
