I do personally like this one, and I'm with Jeph, putting the color back into the hood crest would look great I think

Well, I originally posted the picture just as a goof. After all the work you guys did, however, I really began to like it. I decided to adopt Jeph's version as my signature pic. While it's cleaned up considerably, I like the highway in the background, as if I'd stopped in live traffic to take a photo.

Jeph and I will need to work out his royalties, I would imagine.

For under 20 large, you have a beauty of a car.

You have to love that!

Nice job!

Thanks, Bruce. And you're right...though I've never counted receipts, I'm pretty sure I don't have $20k in this car.

I can't take all the credit. How excellent it is to see our team effort in your signature! Best looking '97 ever!

Kabel,

Thanks for your help. You originally made the background B&W, the turning point in my opinion.

I normally use Photoshop, but for this task I used Paint Shop Pro. A nice $90 alternative to spending $900 on Photoshop.
