SCT emblem won't fit horizontially. I probably would put it that way if it did, though. I agree it looks best centered (not a flat surface with the picture of the fuse, though).
Just wondering since neither of you took a pic of it that way. Maybe you can sand off the Pic of the fuse and paint the cover.

Or get a cover for the cover. Bill might do that, but I don't really want to add any chrome to my chrome-less engine bay.

I'm leaning torwards the polished lid cover (see Tom's link several posts back).

If I don't like it, I'll only be out twenty something bucks.

Maybe I'll try to make it sit vertically over by the battery. I'd perfer it to sit vertically or atleast at more of an angle so that you can see it without having to be looking at the engine bay.

I was thinking about it to but that will probably wait untill I actually start dressing the engine bay which is my last priority since it's something you can only see at car shows.

I was thinking about that too, but the laminate is too flimsy.

I thought about a poster backing (foam kind, like 1/8" or so thick) and somehow sticking the poster to it. Comes in different colors too, but I think black would be your choice.

I don't know what kind of laminate they used on yours but mine seems pretty HARD. Doesn't seem to have much flex to it. I was looking for one of the paper holder thingy's with sand in them but couldn't find one. I think that would look best. Something like this.

Leo, check out the posters Bill and I have been working on through Photobucket:

Attachment 10479 Attachment 10480

We both like the black background better than the white and we both like more pictures rather than less.

The white one has 360 pics and the black one has 860 or so. I'm going to take random pics of the car (and different parts of the car) to get the number of pics up to at least 500 if not more.

Would be awesome at a car show... and a good conversation piece.

Final product is 13.5" x 19" and is $9.99 (not sure about shipping)

Interesting.. if you find one, let us know how it works. Looks like you may need 2 of those.

That looks cool. I like the black one with more pics the best. What would be cooler is if you could pay some one to make it a mosaic. Like have it look like a tri bar pony or something else. Either way that looks cool and might have to start snapping pics to be able to do it. Tks for the idea.

Yup your probably right about needing two. I might make a run tomorrow before the show and pick them up. I'll keep let you guys know how it works out.

If you need help figuring it out, let me know... but you do it all through Photobucket. I think it's neat to use every pic... even if they are "torn down" pics like when lowering, or pics no longer valid (like my 281 emblems on the scoop)... really gives a lot to look at.

Tks. Remember how I stated I woke up really late a couple posts ago? Well I woke up at 4:30pm so I'm not really tired. But I'm going to have to force myself to go to sleep by 12 or 1 I hope.

Tom I'll try it out if I need any help I'll make sure to ask.

Well I'm off to jack in the box. I might be back on briefly later on. If not don't worry I'll make sure to take pics and post how it went asap. Wish me luck.
