So this is one of those random things that came as a result of a need....
We had this big car show come up recently and the judges like to see a nice display board showing some of the work done on the car such as mods, special features, notes, or whatever you want to display for others to see. I had these made in the past by a talented female friend of mine for my s2000 and m3 but I never had one done for my NSX since it was "not done". We all know that dilemma!
Anyways I had a different friend build a display board for me. I supplied the photos and he supplied his talent guided only by some basic things I told him I was looking for.
The result is what you see below
Once the work was done, now we had to figure out a way to display it without damage. Frames are not a good idea from past experience ~ we wanted a quick setup / teardown display that works in any environment and would be stable without getting easily knocked over scratching the car. Easel's are hard to carry so we came up with a custom 2-piece design that has a base and a display board backed by a black hardboard. The photo is protected with a matte finish film and has a very nice professional feel to it.
Granted this all takes a lot of effort and time but the final result came out pretty good. Of course we can vary the size or design as needed to suit each individual's purpose but would this be something the community be interested in? If you only want to hang this in your garage of course you won't need the display stand portion.
If we have interest, I'll start a thread in the vendor section. Price is TBA since we still need to calculate since there's a lot of design time, edit and of course labor/materials to build the display.
Just wanted to share with community for now, enjoy!
