I'd just like to say what a great idea I think this is...and its perfect excuse to get back around to working on the T-Bat some more. I ordered a Pontiac logo license plate online and I need to get my grilles installed...but all in all a great way to take pride in our cars. I get a car calendar for Christmas every year...this one will look great on the den wall. Give us your best guys  I know many of you have some sweet looking rides...shine em up!

Amazon.com license plate I also found a website called signsbyyou.com that offers custom made plates but they were a bit more than this one...but the "design your own" feature is pretty cool. custom plates

Getting on the internet for just a few minutes aint the hard part. The hard part is finding enough time regularly (for now) to keep checkin the boards. It'd take nothing to blast an attchmt out real quick. Though, I should have internet here at the house within the month. I hope.

Well, from what I understand, it shouldn't be a problem, because the submissions won't be for a while. Which is a good thing, because my car needs to be re-sprayed and re-tinted first, and I need to buy a camera, and I need to find the time to get off work and go take the picture...

A separate thread will be started when pics can start to be submitted and at that time a high quality (300dpi) single pic no less than 5 megs in size should be sent to either Herc or myself. We will then resize the pics to an 800x600 format for the voting thread.

Because if u have 300dpi you can resize it to whatever size you want without it becoming a bad picture.
Most of the digital cameras output to 72ppi so you can view the whole picture on the screen when you view them ... I know all my Sony cameras and my Canon ouput to 72ppi.
I think I would just let the printer (whoever that might be) resize them after they're uploaded. I'd just about put money on it that most online printers will resize them to what they need.

Don [/QB]most printers will not spend the time resizing all the images for the calendar(especially not a small ma and pa shop). Someone also needs to figure out who they want to design the calendar so that when we send the file to the printer all the printer has to do is send it through prepress and to plates and be printed. It will save us alot of money if someone on here designs them rather than sending them to the printer to design because they will not want to do all of that work just for a car club calendar.
