I posted pics of the raw airbrush work a few days ago but now you can get a better idea of what this piece will look like as it was cleared.

What do you think?

Yeah..Its not as big as it looks right now...Sadly it will be shipping back to Ohio this coming thursday so he can have it for the C5/C6 bash at Bowling Green. Sucks as this car came out great.

Thanks for all of the feedback everyone...I just do what the customer wants and we try and make the idea flow and work

Very nice work, But in my opinion it is too big. Maybe it needs to be 1/4th the size for me.

I think it looks GREAT!

It'll be wonderful hanging on the wall in your garage.

Course....it would suck on a real car, but we all know you wouldn't do that with it.
