Also is it necessary to have hood designs included with the photoshop?
The more detailed the better when it comes to design.

I would like our logo on the car and fairly large as well (we are insecure) LOL

Hey Eric, just an idea, but maybe to keep this thread a little cleaner, why not start 2? Like one thread for your pictures only, and one thread for questions and comments? I'm just thinking this thread has become very popular, 11 pages and it really hasn't even gotten going yet. When the car is done, it's gonna be 300 pages long, and 15 pages of text inbetween the pictures/updates you guys make. Might be easier for people to follow along.

Looks pretty good, instead of putting a graphic on it like that, you should try making the AMS logo the graphic. Or maybe put the AMS logo over what you have there.

Its not a bad idea but even the thread with the pictures will get questions posted. Having it in one central location is quite a bit easier.

Here are some more pictures for you. The first one shows the tedious work of drilling out spot welds. That small section is just a plate for one side of the rear seatbelts.

Yes it's right down the street from you in Redmond.

Looking great Eric!

AMS workmanship has been proven before, now they're gonna rub it in!

This thing looks like it will set some very, very high standards.

Nice CF roof!

BTW, how much of a weight savings did the CF doors give? Vs Stock and Vs last seasons door?

Keep up the good work guys!
