If you let me know either how wide you want it to be, or how tall I can get you the other measurements. I cannot remember if I can just print on paper a huge design, I think I can.

Use the grid technique, it usually works very well.... You could also use an overhead projector and cast the shadow of a decal up unto the wall.

Deathcharge your PM box is full...

All PM'S have been answered. Glad everyone thinks they are neat!

Think my next project is getting my hood liner prof done with a faint huge Jake with a nice shiny C5 logo eyes. But now I have to find a true artist in my area....

Your Car Looks Awesome! Because it looks nearly identical to mine, may have something to do with my strong opinion of that! Other than the wheels(C6Z06 Chromes) and the engine(7.0), we re TWINS!! I just need some Jakes, i guess! lol

Those are super cool... like how subtle it is.

Nice car, identical to mine when I first got it.
