I'm looking for a file that is of an old Hot Rod, something like this picture. I've got corvetts, mustangs, and a few other newer cars but nothing like the good 'ol Hot Rod. Can anyone help me out. If you message me I'll give you my email address (as I don't like posting it on public forums) if it is too large of a file to post here. I want to make a sign for the guy who fixed my car and his logo has one of these Hot Rods in it. It's a gift because he did such a fast turn around and kept the cost down for me. Thanks guys.

James RS, yeah now that's what I was talking about. Have you carved this before, and if so how did it look? I'll give this a try. Thank you very much. Exactly what I love about our forum, you ask and you shall receive.

Glad you like it, but I've never carved it and I remembered I had some vector hotrods.
Hope it works and we expect pics

I'm going to carve it this week hopefully and I will post a pic of it. Thanks again.

James RS, you asked me to post a picture of that hot rod once I carved it. Here it is right off the machine. It is what I was looking for as far as type of car, but I wasn't impressed how it turned out. I didn't think it would be really good when I looked at it in designer as I couldn't see much depth details, but just thought I'd still give it a try. If anyone else has anything of a hot rod file and would be willing to share I would sure like to give it a swirl and see how it carves. Thanks

EDIT: The pic I attached is larger than your original

It looks like a coupe to me, maybe this will work.
