I'm wondering if there is a quideline, trusted 3rd party or other pointers that are available in creating a show board for a car? What kind of details to include etc. I won't have the binder full of restoration pictures so, really just kind of the under workings of the car.

thanks for any pointers

I'm going through this process right now on my car. I was invited to be a feature car at a show in a few weeks so i wanted to put something together. I started by googling car show boards to see what I liked and to get a general idea of what to include. Then I used Microsoft power point to pull pics and graphics in together. It's been alot of work but it is turning out pretty good. I couldn't justify paying someone $200 to make me one. Once I get it formatted the way i like I'll have it printed off on poster board.

I actually just had one made up for my car, and I was really impressed with this guys work.

I did the same as LS1-IROC, and googled and found his page and just liked it style of art and layout better than some of the other places offering the same thing. His prices were fair, but once I talked with him is customer service and communication is what made me choose him over the other options. I don't have the graphic design skills or time to try and design and make one my self other wise that would be an excellent option.

Here is the example of my showboard, and a art print he made up. The show board is 24x30, and he included some smaller extras like 10x12, and some business card size ones.. not sure why.
