Default Need some advice on a project please

We have been asked to put a couple 4 wheel ATV's on the sides of a hummer, they want the ATV's to match up with the wheels on the hummer and look like they are what is driving down the road but I am not figuring out how to do this and have everything to scale. Obviously I can only scale the ATV's as the hummer is set.

Also he wants me to change the color of the ATV from red to yellow, is that possible from the picture I scaned in. Would I be better off vectorizing these?
This just does not seem to be coming together.
Thanks for any imput on this.

OK I think I can change the color to yellow on the ATV in photoshop, looks ok on the screen so far anyway.

Still would appreciate suggestions on lay out ideas here. Not sure what the customer wants is real doable which is frustrating me to no end.

I would use the ProVehicles outline for the Hummer.
Blow up the photograph to match the vehicle outline. You may need to go outside the original aspect of the photograph to make it fit proeprly. If that's what it takes, you don't have much choice. Typically if I had to adjust scale, I'd explain to the customer and make sure he'll be ok with it. Don't forget you can go outside the design of the hummer a bit, try to make the ferrings line up with the wheel wells. You may have to do some cutting and pasting to have the engine and sides in the right place.

This is a job that requires high end design skills.

Ditto on the high end design skills.
I have really beat my head against the wall on this one.
We went with a hyabusta (spelled wrong I know) and the M109 I think that is what it was, can not remember. They are long wheel based and lined up better.
