      Really cool picture! Do you have it at a higher resolution? I'd love to use it as my desktop.

      Thanks guys, I like how it turned out. I just took a pic from last night and removed Steve plus a kid from the background, plus the hood prop. Then I selected the car, inverted the selection, and applied a slight radial blur. Voila!

      just took a pic from last night and removed Steve
      I'm sure it was nothing personal. LOL!!!


      Well...it's my backdrop on my computer at work now.

      Awesome photo. Personally, I like that he did away with the air intakes on the spoiler. It might have looked better had the guy put the flanges on the inside of the spoiler instead of on the outside.

      Yea, I liked the idea but not the execution.. trying to figure out a way to mold in the scoops to the front spoiler..

      Steve,
      I too will be at John F. I like the 68, but loved the 69.
