Ok I got a reply from Brian.

So now to get the ball rolling.

The key is all calanders will be sold at cost for publishing and shipping. No one on this board is to make a profit from this endeavor.

so how we doing this ? just posted up pic's of the car? are we gonna do a poll? what about some of the reg who are away, like tbat, drummer, rick and other i might've missed?

idk but i definately think we need a HUGE group shot for the cover!!! that way everyone can have there car in the calendar and it will show us as one big happy car family...lol....but my idea still stands for the midwesterners to meet in central/south central wisconsin, if anyone wants to do that just let me know and i will think of a nice place to do it at! we could also hit up Great Lakes Dragway!!

I will be getting with Herc this weekend so we can hash out the details. In the meantime, be thinking about taking some calendar worthy pics.

We are going to need some one to handle dealing with the publisher and take orders. Any volunteers?

I was thinking that since we have a hard time getting meets together that the cover would be a collage(sp?) of ALL the high res quality photos that are submitted for voting. This way most of the cars will be on/in the calander and would be more desirable to those who didn't make the so called cut.

Oh Mods, are we doing just body shots or are good engine shots included as well? I *might* make it in THAT way...

Official rules are yet to be determined.

Please let Herc and I hash out the details before anything is done on this.
Once we get all the details hashed out, we'll make them public.
I would really hate to see a lot of effort being put forth only to find out the type of pic some of you are trying to do won't be allowed, for what ever reason.

There will be plenty of time for pics to be taken.

Ok all. If you want to set meets up for what ever reason please do in another thread. This thread is for suggestions and rules only. No photos are being accepted at this time and no rules have been hashed out. I'm going to go through and delete all non essential posts. This is for Official Use Only.

Thank you

i could help taking orders ?

i suggested to Herc that we could try and get them printed through my work because i work for a printing company. The only downside is that, we would need to know exactly how many we need upfront because my boss wont just print one at a time. He would need to print a mass amount at a time. So we just need to know exactly how many people WANT calendars and who is willing to front the money right away..If anyone has any questions just PM me and i will try to answer them.

cafepress is the easiest and more than likely the most economical way of making these calenders. our local car club did that this past year and they turned out great. I think they were something like $16-18 shipped, no minimum required.

ok than that would be fine IMO...i just put out a suggestion as to who we could consider for printing these.

Cafepress sounds like a good idea. This way no one has to "front" the money or rely on enough orders to actually place the order.

cafepress is how we did ours in our local club too. very easy and a nice quality piece

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!

Where did you get it, Tbat?

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

I'd like to submit the pic of my car in front of the NM mountains. If the pics are asked for before I can get reliable access to the internet, can someone gimme a call? This sounds GREAT!

When it comes time for pic submissions if you don't have reliable internet to email your submission Bobby and I would be happy to give you our addresses so you can mail it in on a CDR.

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...

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.
