Default A little OT

A little OT, but wanted some honest opinion on this thing. We have a car show next Sat. and local clubs build the trophies. I built the trophy our club is giving for "Best Performance Car".
Tell me what you guys think of it:



Still have to get the little plaque engraved to put on the timing cover base.

That's very cool.It definitely gets the performance idea across,it doesn't get any more performance oriented than a drag car.

i think it looks great, any car guy is going to like the timing cover as a base.

Thanks! A buddy donated that cheap Chinese aluminum timing cover after it cracked in the lower seal area. Tried a few things for a base, but they were either too small, or no place to attach the plaque.

I have something similar to that but its a guy riding a motorcycle, its made from odds and ends. Nuts and bolts mostly, he does have a master chain link for goggles. I snapped some pics with my phone. He lives on one of the end tables in my living room.


Oh yeah, I like yours alot.
