So, I saw a piece of art that was done for Ron Dennis at McLaren with the introduction of the McLaren 12C some time ago. A single silhouette strip done to evoke the shape of the car, fullly wrapped in Carbon Fiber. Beautiful.

I then contacted the broker to see if the artist would commission something for me. He does the silhouettes in 1 - 5 metal strips depending on the look he's after. The other pieces I had seen, beyond the aforementioned 12C, were a Porsche 917, a 250 Testarossa etc. and I really liked the look that he created. After a brief discussion, I sent them some pictures and they created a design which we discussed to get a look I was happy with.

The artist was then left to his wares to create the sculpture for me. After some time, I received the following piece which I'm REALLY happy with!!! Anyway, I thought I'd share some pics of it with you all.

Awesome, Pro. Forgot to ask, but what are the dimensions? Hard to tell scale from the pics.
 
If the base is 3/4" wood, my guess is the car measures about 8.5" x 3.5"...+ or -.

'Sharp looking piece regardless!

About 17" long by 7" wide for the sculpture itself. Base is about 20 x 11.
