I've been thinking about changing a Fact Sheet I display with my SS at car shows. Right now, I use a photo of C071, plus all the built data, mod's, awards, etc.
I've been toying with the idea of using a stylized drawing of the SS instead of the photo on the sheet. I downloaded a Camaro drawing from our Camaro Club's show sight, and modified it to match the paint scheme for my SS.
What do you think - stick with the photo of the actual car, or use the drawing?
Here are the links to both the photo and drawing.

if the sign you have is made of a nice material such as fiberglass or plastic, and the drawing was airbrushed on, then i think it would look cool.
but on the other hand, the picture does look really cool too. if you are printing out your sign on a color printer, then the pic. would look better.
heck, they both look good to me. toss a coin [Razz] [Wink]

My opinion is stick with the photo for the fact sheet, because it is discussing FACTS, correct? And a photo lends itself to a factual car. As for the drawing, don't let that go to waste. It does look cool, but you could put that on a business card or better yet, a couple of T-shirts to wear when you show your car. Or possibly do it up in a poster you can frame and put in the garage.... just some ideas.
