Thank you very much Archie
I knew there had to be a trick.....

Troy
I have to say that this was funny
"I know we have to repaint the decklid so..... One more mod PLEASE........... I promise it will be the last one. . .(for today that is )"

I also agree and think the extra vents would look nice

Troy, do you think you might take the car to Daytona ?
I would love to see this car all done,
I remember when Archie took it to Daytona and I was VERY impressed w/ it

I would love to, but thats a long haul from NY for a few days. Thats about 2000. to 2500. round trip for a transporter and with the nose so low to the ground I wouldnt drive it all the way down. I would do a mid way show like in VA.

When we started this car back in 2006, we had a lot of plans & a lot of work ahead of us.

For the most part, we've had a plan going in for virtually every mod we've done.

While we've read thru & considered several suggestion from PFF members, We've never really flat out asked for help until now.

This time is different. We need to find a way to tastefully cover the left end of the blower & a few hoses & wires. We need a base design for some type of cover that incorporates "LS7 & "427" or "7.0L".

I know it's only been a day since Troy posted the post below, we've been discussing it for a week or more & can't seem to settle on anything we all like.

So, we'd like some input "photoshop" or other wisefor what we can do.

"Photoshoppers", here's a couple of pics you can work with.....





A free V-8 Archie "T" shirt (featureing Troy's car) to the guy who gives us something we can work with.

Wow! Three days later and still no photoshopper responses.

I was wondering if you could incorporate the rear cover, facing the rear of the car somehow.
I really like how it looks and the fact that it describes the engine, with LS7 and Corvette.
I also like the fact that is facing the rear of the car and easy to read.

Another idea that came to mind is more elaborate but I am sure that Archie and his crew could do it.
If there is room... make a cover for the whole top of the engine,
do it by making molds of the lettering on the rear cover, (where it says Corvette n LS7 ) ,
the lettering "SUPERCHARGED" on the side covers of the supercharger
The lettering on cover should fave the back of the car, so that it would be easy to read when the eng lid is open.
I hope this give you some ideas

I don't know how to use photoshop, I wish I did

Thanks for the reply! That looks cool. Today I sent a few drafts to a company that makes custom billet badges, Ill see if they can incorporate steps into the design.
Thank you so much for your input.
