S130 280zx? When you are ready to try it out. And by the way you do great work, definately a different thing on a shirt. Looking forward to your other Z's when you get to them. Oh and yes I would be interested, and in a black t-shirt XL.

And pretty soon, I wont need to wash my Z. It will be going primer gray here soon. "sigh"

yea ill be gettin to the 280zx soon, and itll be designed off of a picture of mine First ima get the z31 and z32 done and that will take a bit of time because I usually cant get back to work until I see the results and the machine isnt in my home. Im glad you like the work too, I was hoping some people would like a different style shirt.

I got a chance to play around with the z31 for a bit and updated slightly. here it is. feel free to speak your thoughts. remember, these are just bmp images, I still have to digitize them into a sew file and sometimes I cant make it look EXACTLY precise, but with some work I can usually get pretty damn close to my original bmp

Ill most likely end up doing both, but both of them need refining. The z32 has definately been a huge difficulty for me, I just dont know why

yea i think the z32 will be fine with some minor stuff. the z31 will need a bit or work back in the digitizing before I go in and do both again on cotton fabric this time. it will always have that slightly "rough" look just because of the nature of curved line embroidery. but a few things need to be worked on before they will be on sale.
edit: oh and if anyone knows where I can get cheap blank lanyards that are 1/2" or thicker without having to buy them by the 100s, please tell me. I am going to do some Z lanyards as well.

yea I know whatcha mean, I try to make the cars horizontally stitched and then enhanced with vertical stitching to give it depth. The rx8 it really helped. The zs I think may be looking a little weaker because of the material I stitched onto. well find out tomorow i think

heres the first 5 cars I have worked on. the rx8 and bmw are done. The zs will be done within the next week i hope. and then I will get my website up and running with those 5. I will get myself organized, and then continue working on the next two or 3 cars, which will definately include a 280zx. Since I go to school and have a job, most of the work and shipping will have to be done on the weekend, which I will state on the website so people know it could be a whole week before they recieve their shirt.
