Awaiting my new drawing...

[waylander]

well a little while back I backed a kick-starter campaign for anodized aluminium pictures of your car, it's taken a little while longer than anticipated for it to come together (trials of a start-up!) but the results are (IMO) stunning and well worth it!

There are a few amendments to make to the draft (minor detail changes unique to my car and/or not enough detail on my original pics) but I couldn't be happier with the way it's shaping up - I've been asked not to put the 'full frontal' in the public domain (for obvious reasons) but he gave me the below pic that he's ok with me showing off...






what do you all think?

That is pretty sweet! Any idea what it would run for regular folks now that they are up and running?

 

[Shaggy]

That is cool. What's the name of the company?

 

[junkyard08]

I like it. Wouldn't mind having one

 

[weather man]

I could find room in my man shed for that!

 

[CPRsm]

Damn that's pretty awesome!!

I know they do deliver world wide, obviously at a cost. My view was that (good) art-work costs and so worth it for me

considering the current exchange rate, now is a good time to order as well

That looks pretty cool. How big is it?

I think I would seriously be interested in this.

What defines the difference between a "catalog" print and new commission? I would assume that now they have your mustang as a "base" and any other S197 submission would be a "catalog" submission with Artwork Detail 2 or 3? Would the corrected body panels (hood and trunk) and wheels be part of the base package, or is that part of a "Detail"?

Thanks.

~ 16" x 11" I believe.

I really... REALLY like that... but for 100 bucks.... errrrrrr

 

[psfracer]

$100 is nothing when you consider the time/materials it must take to do one of those. Especially if you are in it to make a profit.

I'd have guessed twice that since it's aluminum and not paper.

 

[waylander]

like I said chaps - this is nothing to do with me so I really know the square-root of fuck all about pricing or anything. What I can tell you is that in the pic you see above he has put on the GT500 hood, FR500 rims, Roush rear spoiler, A47 mirrors and my # plate - obviously all deviations from standard. One would imagine that getting a straight forward library picture would be relatively simple. Fella doing it seems to be very happy to answer any and all queries and is helpful

 

[weather man]

He has the trufiber A61 hood, agent 47 upper and lower grill and bullitt wheels on file now.

Well here it is... It turns out that there was no need to be nervous and the results have, in my opinion, been very well worth-while, and the art every-bit as good as the PDF doc I was sent as a final proof-read.

[Irishman]

That looks great! The only thing that bugs me is the kerb weight, I'm picky but would want it to be curb. Other then that I love it.
