Looks good, but I've always wondered why people take up space on their show boards with pictures of their car, when the board sits right next to the car? Why not look at the real thing?

I agree with the"Two Tone" other than that, I think it looks great.......

Add c.i. after the 355 to distinguish the cubic inches from the horse power.

Nice showboard work, Dave. I like your 2nd posting version (w/o the extra "two" inset pics).

Sweet.

Simple.

"Pops" nicely.

How soon will it debut with the car? How large a print format have you chosen to use and would it be carried to the show(s) or transported via alternate method? Been thinking of developing one, also.

I will take the file to Staples and they will do a Photo print either 18x24 or 24x36 for about 25 or so dollars. Then I will put it in a basic poster frame for another 15 dollars. All said and done, my time and about 40 or so bucks! Usually takes 10 minutes for them to print it. 5 minutes for me to frame it. Then I just bring it to shows with the car. Ive made quite a few with all the changes ive made over the years.

This company makes show boards on aluminum. I'm not trying to spam just informational. http://blacktopbranding.com/blog/?p=784
