Default A Very Unique Corvette Picture

Hi gang,

I wanted to share a cool pic a good friend of mine had made and framed of the Beast.
I don't have the Ba!!s but I'd love to get this in a wrap for my trailer.







With the season ending here in two weeks this picture will have to hold me until April.


Mike

Hang it in the garage and let Don look at it since he can't drive!

Nice picture.

See you at the Corvette Museum on the 30th at Frank Gonzales bench dedication. Bring some of these pictures and sign them for your fans!

Is the lightning out of the car or you? I have a used set of Depends if you need them!

Couldn't resist popping in and saying how glad I am you like that picture!
I'm the guy who created it...although the credit really needs to go to the guy who asked me to do it. He's a neighbor of mine here in the Detroit area that I met at a local corvette show this summer. He explained he had a very good friend that he really wanted to do something nice for, that he was looking for something unique, and asked if I'd be up for the challenge. I said sure. What's more, I made a friend in the process; he's a great guy.
I had to register here to post (I usually hang out at Smokinvette.com) and I will properly introduce myself in the Intro thread, but I'll quickly say my name is Scott, and that I'm the proud owner of a 1976 Stingray (my baby) and that I enjoy creating Photoshop "makeovers" for car enthusiasts. Many examples (including the before-and-after images of this piece) can be seen following the links in my sig below
Again, I'm soooo glad you like the piece. And you should know you've got a good group of guys who are very appreciative of all you've done for them and who really wanted to do something nice for you in return.
Scott Withers

(Oh and by the way I'd be happy to work with you on that trailer wrap...the original artwork is plenty sharp enough to make that look awesome)
