I have access to a 44" scanner at work so I should be able to scan the poster later today or tomorrow. I'm told the scanner can scan at ludicrous resolution so the file size may be huge. I'll play with the resolution rates to see if I can find a reasonable compromise between quality and file size.

+1, the mods that were done are interesting...The plexiglass between the spoiler and the hatch was something I didn't know about.

I scanned two copies. One at 300 dpi (324 mb) and one at 600 dpi (1.34 gb). I have a reduced size at 300 dpi that's 228 kb. The scanner will let me scan up to 9600 dpi but I'd need a new hard drive just to save the file and then I wouldn't be able to open it anyway.

When I load it here, it reduces it to 87 kb. I'll send everyone an email with the 228 kb file later tonight. If you want higher resolution/larger file size, let me know. I can convert it to whatever size you'd like, I just don't know how large of a file I can send.

Thanks Mike! I feel I should reward you somehow to express my appreciation...Unfortunately being 3800 kms, or 2361 miles, makes it tough. Let me think about it...I'll come up with something

Thanks again!

Be patient with me. Now that I have it open in such high resolution, I'm seeing a lot of flaws that need to be corrected. I should have it good as new and ready to go tomorrow.

No rush on this end. This has been a project I've been thinking about doing for a while now. 10+ years to be precise.

I haven't had a good opportunity to steel the one off my friends wall

The dude on the left is likely checking the wingnut for proper torque...

I sent an 8.21 MB jpg file to everyone that requested it. I'm working with Hacker to get a larger tif file hosted. It should be ready to go in a couple of days. I'm going to have to get a reprint done for myself. I didn't realize how wrinkled my original is. I'll store it away safely and put the new copy on the wall in the garage.
