Photograph cutout for sand casting

[aircub]

I am looking for some one that can do a cut out in 3d for a sign.
Here is the picture

I don't want the building in the background.

This is a RFQ

Not that I able to help you out, but the first time I clicked the attachment I got a sedan sitting in front of a (rock?) wall with a steel tractor hanging from the wall. Curiosity got the better of me with the statement "WACO meeting Joe Self Chevrolet" so I clicked on it again and got a red and white pickup (different car) sitting in front of a different wall. Hmmm.....???? The statement still has the better of me....Waco residents are going to meet Joe S.C.?, There's going to be a meeting in Waco and Joe S.C. will be there? Self (built) Chevrolet? One of these change-your-surname and become somebody else tomorrow deals? Meeting in Waco to see Joe Self's Chevrolet? Hmmm.....

Sorry I didn't look at the file. Hope this uploads.

I'm not really sure what you would like... do you mean like an aluminum plate the shape of the car and engrave the details or do you mean like an actual 3-d model of the car?

I am wanting a 3d cut out in foam of the car. Sorry I was not direct. Good question.

This is a cristmas present to one of my friends. I am wanting a sign made in foam that I can cast in brass. I am wanting the letters cut in the chevy cursive logo to say (Brent's Chevelle Shop) above the car. I hope that was descriptive enuff for you all. I will leave the rest of the thought process up to you.
Thanks, William

Ok... but what you want sounds pretty tricky, so i have suggestion.. Find a graphic artist in your area, have him create a 3-d model of what you like in an iges or a dxf file format.. than ask for the quote.. I can do the 3-d surfacing that you would need , but drawing it is another issue...

I just did a quick test for you and I dont think you will get the result you want. The problem with cars is that they reflect sunlight too well and it doesnt translate into a picture reader that well. The shine actually makes the car look dented.

Actually Benny, if you squint, it don't look so bad!

Every time I see one of Benny's 2 minute jobs I wonder why I can't do something like that in 2 minutes. Impressive!

Well Thanks. I was hoping someone could do it in wire to smooth out the glossy spots. I have asked his wife to get a picture on a cloudy day. But I don't think she is going to do that.
