Begin with a picture of a car (must be taken completely side-on for best effect).

Step 1 Start with the Rectangle Select tool and select the front area of the car (ahead of the wheel arch, from top to bottom of the picture).

Step 2 Next, switch to the Move Selected Pixels tool and, selecting one of the middle points, contract the size of the selected shape by half (so, if your selection is 100px wide, squash it to 50px).

Step 3 Switch back to the Rectangle Select tool and now select the middle area of the car, the whole area between the front and rear wheels.

Step 7 Now, you need to move all the pieces back together, so that they join up neatly.
To get rid of the left-over space, use the Magic Wand tool and select the transparent area of the canvas. Press CTRL+I to invert the selection and go Image > Crop to Selection (CTRL+SHIFT+X).

This works for any car as long as the image is taken directly side on.
