I am working on a display board to show off my 1978 Sedan with when I go to the annual show and shine in Emmett this summer.
I have a basic layout (if you even want to call it that) done, but I need to consolidate it. I am not to sure of what is good to put on a display board and what isn't. I want to point out some of the originality as well a the modifications done to the car to point out how far it has come and still alive and kicking! I will be showing pictures from the 70s of my mother with the car as well as an equal amount of pictures of the car in it's current state.
Here is what I have so far.
