Hey all, I'm taking the roadster to her first car show in a month and I wanted to make a show board for the show. I'm thinking of using this place, but open to other suggestions if someone has had great success with another vendor:

I'd love to see any examples you have of show boards you've made for your car.
Thanks!
I used Adobe Illustrator, made my own converted it to a PDF and went to Staples to have it printed on hard board

Did mine myself as well with Microsoft Publisher. Not as fancy as the much more artistic vendor options. But $39.95 to print on foam board at FedEx Kinkos.

I love the KISS approach for boards. Ive made a few for myself over the years (but lost the clear shots when my last computer died). This was, and still is, what I use as inspiration for the ones I build for my rides. I would be happy to lend a hand if you need some help with the design side of things.

Big advantage is if you changes something or add to something it is easier to get it changed.

I wasn't going to bring it up but since you did :D
I think those go along with "Wildwood breaks", "Castor" and "tow in", "Superperformance", "FF5"... ;)

Definitely make one yourself so it can be edited if needed. I have to change a couple things, I just installed a Holley Sniper 2 EFI, and some other things.

I thought I'd post a quick update to the thread. I worked with Gary at Showcarsigns.com to make a show board for the roadster, and it turned out great. Gary was very friendly and easy to work with, and we went through several versions of the board before settling on the final design. He had it printed and shipped within a day after finalizing the design. It came printed on foam board with a nice plastic trim and an easel leg so it stands on its own.

I was being snarky at 'Hildebrand' vs 'Halibrand'.
