Cool C5Z Metal Art!
My neighbor is metal fabricator and very talented artist. I asked him to create a C5Z metal art sign and he really delivered!
He layered many of the elements to give it a very cool 3D look. All in all there are a total of five different layers.
All elements are powder coated, even the plain brushed part of the Z06 logo is clear powder coated.
What do think?

That is some seriously good work your neighbor did. I'd bet he could sell a lot of those signs if he decided to do it as a business. I don't have a Z, but wouldn't mind having something like that with just the C5 logo.

He just recently sold his fabrication business and plans to work on his metal art full time. He's purchased a new building for a studio to display his work and plans to have a website up and running soon.

I think it's great and I think your neighbor could have a very lucrative side business if he chose to serve to the Corvette owner niche market.

Another Cool Sign
My buddy made me this a few months back. It's laser cut from a sheet of stainless steel. It was my custom addition to the wife's new laundry room.
I can check to see if he can do a few more if there is any interest.
