This is alot of effort on your part ... my favorite is ....

The '32 Ford duece with the flames

What in the world did you use for the "floor" of that picture

That reflective surface really adds to display of the bottom of the vehicle

I have to know what you use

Just in the very few pictures I've ever submitted ... I know that picture taking is alot of work ... at least for me anyway ....

I quess it is hard if you do not know what your doing ... right?

In closing ....

Larry ... you and Mr. Merrit and other members picture taking skills are really enjoyable to me

I thank everybody for their time, efforts and dedication to submit pictures

Alot of times .... I never knew alot of these vehicles ever existed much less know what they look like

It is a great automotive history teaching tool

Job well done to all who submit pictures

Again, more great shots. I think I like the '59 Cadillac best.

The floor for the '32 Ford duece with the flames was....

A piece of Plexiglas on top of white foam board. As for the background scenes, they are large photos I got off the internet and sized them down to fit a legal size sheet of paper then used double sided tape to tape them on a piece of white foam board. The gradient background ones I created via a website I found to create them then enlarged them to fit a legal sized sheet of paper and taped them into position just like the scenic photos. Some of the floors were done the same way except for the black marble which are peel and stick floor squares.
