With a great deal of arm twisting I was able to get the 2014 calendars finished and ordered. They should be in about the end of next week.
This year I did two different versions. The standard wall calendar like last year, and an all year 11x17 poster with all this years cars.
Since Tom Kowalski endured a fine to get his glamor shots I did a full year calendar using his car for him. I also put together a 24 x 36 full year calendar using all the pages from the wall calendar and a few extra model pictures as fillers.
Last year Crash suggested that the cover should contain a 13th car. So since I have lots of pictures of my car that's what you get.
Also did a couple mouse pads for my office and home.
If any of these look interesting to you shoot my sister (Barbara) an e-mail at
knecht@earthlink.net. She is taking care of all the shipping stuff for me.

If you received one of my 1/10 scale models, be sure to let my sister know. I have a little something extra to throw in the box.

Thanks Guys
Steve

This is the best one yet. Great job Steve. Are you making them for the other cars also? Would be cool to have one mixed.

Thanks,
if there is interest, I can do a "Year at a glance" calendar (like Toms) of any of the cars that are in this year or last years calendar. My sister is trying to figure out the costs and what kind of a risk we are willing to take to try and just charge a flat shipping rate to everyone in the continental US. From the interest of my 1/10 scale models I would estimate 60% went to the east coast 20% went to Texas and the rest went to the west coast and international. Anything we have to charge domestically is a drop in the bucket compared to what the poor souls have to pay in shipping to Europe or Australia. And even though it costs more they will get their packages a week sooner than out northern neighbors in Canada. Crazy stuff!
I printed one of the 24x48 posters and found the Text too small to read. So I laid it out differently and I'll try this design tomorrow.

23801

I plan to frame mine put it up right over the commode. That way I'll know what day it is when I first wake up. I was going to ask my wife If I could bring a picture of the mistress into the bed room. You can imagine how that might go. So the redhead has been restricted to the bathroom and the shop.:p
(Funny thing is my wife would probably say "COOL!").

Hi Steve,

I'd like to buy one from you again this year. I'll send a note to Barbara tomorrow morning.

Thanks for doing this for our GTM community again.

Take care,

Mike

As promised, I put mine in a Target 24x36 frame and hung it on the bathroom wall. At least there are some beautiful, curvy bodies in my bathroom again. Because the one in the mirror..... well not so much.:o

You bes hope your wife doesn't read that post.

I keep telling my wife she has the same shape as when she was 18, she has no idea I am talking about the the shape of her elbows only.

LOL!!
Nope the GTM calendar goes in the boys bathroom. I don't know who the fat old guy in the mirror is. So having some GTMs to look at is a welcome relief.

I say something something similar to my wife...but never when she is in earshot!!!!!!

Hey Steve, just remember....The older I get, the better I was! ;)

Hey everyone,
Thank you for the overwhelming support for our calendar project. My sister has been receiving your emails but our dad had to go in for some surgery and recovery is not going as fast as we hoped. So don't think Barbara has been ignoring you. We've just been kind of tied up. She feels bad about not sending out confirmations but I told her not to worry. You guys will forget all about being ignored as soon as you have some goodies in your hands. We have almost everything here and they turned out awesome!! Will probably start shipping Monday. Can't wait to hear what you guys think.

Hey everyone,
Some calendars went out last week, so you guys should start seeing them any day. There is another pile on the table ready to ship that will go out on Monday. So everyone except our international buddies should have their stuff by late next week.

Dad's doing much better. Thanks to everyone who sent all the prayers and positive energy our way. I want you all to know it did the trick. :001_smile:

We shipped everything we had orders for today. There are still a few items left if you need some stocking stuffers. But after what I experienced today at the post office it'll have to be IOUs. So if your in the states and you don't get your stuff by next Monday let me know. And I would appreciate a heads up from our international brothers when you receive yours. Thanks


I did a couple special 24x36 posters for my office. I don't know what Photobucket did to my colors but trust me they look AWESOME!! in person

December was a tough month for us and I fear we might have forgotten something. So I wanted to make sure everyone got what they ordered and were happy with what they received?

Thanks
