Photomerge and Photoshop CS3

This past weekend we had the chance to run up to Eureka Springs for the day. Always a good time, and always a great chance to take some interesting photos.
Once we arrived we found ourself (literally) smack in the middle of a classic car parade. We took a unprepared seat on the curb and started snapping away. I say unprepared because my D40 was outfitted with a 55-200mm lens. Hardly ideal for quick moving cars that are 6-10 feet away.
After some frustration I changed tactics and began concentrating on the details of the cars: tires, logos and reflections. I also went after a poor-man's panorama, that is, one shot of the front of the car, one shot of the back. Figuring that once I got back I could throw it into Photoshop and see what it spit out.
I made a dumb mistake in cutting off the nose, but here's the result:
Some choppiness, but really not bad at all.
