Luigi, that board that you made to present your cars stats at Bloomington - you mentioned that you had made it??
What is needed to do that and what were the costs associated with it??
Thanks :m
 
I was quite easy to make.

The specs table was created in MS Excel. I selected a photo of large enough size and resolution and cropped it with Corel PhotoPaint (or any photo manipulation program) to the size of the poster I was creating (24" x 36"). I then pasted and resized the table to the size I wanted and placed it where I wanted. I then pasted the other pictures and created the title bar.

When the whole thing was the way I wanted, I exported the file to postcript (.psd) format, burned it to a CD and took it to kinko's. If your photo program can't export to .psd format you can take .jpg or most any other format to kinko's but they will charge you $5 to covert it. If the pictures you use do not have adequate resolution or were taken in a small format, the printed picture will not have the desired quality.

The 2'x3' poster print, glossy on foam board costs something like $69.99, and they turn it around in 24 hrs.

FYI, if you don't have the ability to convert to a postscript file, there is an alternative. If you set up a postscript printer driver (you don't have to have a postscript printer) and then print it to a file. The printer driver will take care of converting/creating a postscript file.

And Luigi, your car is so cool! That's one of those colors I really don't care for on the regular 'vette, but on your car it looks soo bad-***!!
