Thanks, Rob and Jack! I made a few edits on it this morning, straightened out a couple of shadows, did a little deeper shading on the inside of the wheel...for some reason the particular version that I saved wouldn't upload...it kept bringing the one I did yesterday back...I finally just left it alone...maybe it's supposed to stay just like it was yesterday and I'm not supposed to mess with it anymore! My biggest fault (I have a few, ask my wife) is that nothing I do is ever finished, even if it is finished. So I'm working on letting stuff go once it looks OK. One of the most challenging "car" things for me to draw on a computer is an M&H Racemaster Drag Slick...but that was fun. Jack's post on DragList gave me that mental picture and fired me up to do it. Hope it helps. Thanks again, John

Thanks, Gary. I have copied and will now paste the post that Jack made on DragList, which was the inspiration for me to offer him to make the logo.
