OK, now that all the kerfuffle has passed...Admin has given the official go-ahead to do the calendar, and we are away!!!!

I have photos from a couple of guys, and need a LOT more! Lets see your cars do their thing!

Once again, high-quality, high-resolution photos, please. 3000 or more pixels across would be best.


Also...suggestions?
Last year's monthly quote was, I think, a success. Do the same or something different? Anything we would like to see as a general theme?
Compared to last year's calendar...keep anything the same? Change anything? Inquiring minds want to know.

And, lastly....SMILE! Remember...you bought the damn kit car! This is FUN!!!! Enjoy it!

No one?
Not one measly set of pics? (Aside from the two I received earlier)

Cmon guys...the timeline is short this year. Who's in?

I am hoping to get the car outside this weekend and cleaned up to take some updated photos.

Here are a few I took yesterday - a bit chilly but a ride is good under any circumstances!

Arvin,

I'm pretty sure this is a GTM calendar...

:)

PS Great pics though!

Arvin...
David is right, this is a GTM calendar. That doesn't take away from your work or pics, though. I absolutely LOVE the shot in front of the old style building! I don't think a Cobra calendar is in the works for me though. Unless of course, David wants to offer one directly through the site.


Fraser D...
Long time no talk! I was hoping you'd get on board. That front end of yours is unique and should be highlighted!

Can you post or PM me your email so I can send you some pics. Is there some other way to get you the photos that you would prefer?

Sorry, brain fart.

Email photos to taz-rules@shaw.ca

Please make photos large (at least 3000 pixels across),
also, please include in your email...
Your GTM kit number
Your name and forum "callsign"
a cool quote (if you have one) to go on your month
any further details, such as engine, transaxle, horsepower, custom goodies or any other details you want mentioned

I hope several years down the road that these calendars will still be produced... I haven't had a chance to get my GTM kit ordered yet. Still saving a few more bucks.

Ash,

PM has been sent. I'll round up some pictures for you to choose from. If they work, great; and if they don't, I understand.

Call me if you have any questions. (Ph # will be in the e-mail).

You know I'm into this whether it's submitting, or purchasing, or both! Will I be the only WIP again? :S

OK guys....CRUNCH TIME!!!!

I have images for 6 months, with three holdouts who have promised images but not sent them yet

I need some more!

Also, I'll be setting up a separate order thread.

Here's a sample month (with the owner's permission)

I'm looking for feedback on layout, style, etc. This is going to be a template as I'm going to keep a design theme throughout the calendar, just like last year.

Thoughts? Feelings? Hopes? Fears?

Oh, yes, and I sent out a few PMs to remind people....Still need a few more pics

Man I love that car! It's absolutely beautiful from every angle. I would imagine that a black and white Polaroid picture would look awesome of this car...

The layout looks great Taz.

9 months locked in. Couple of people have promised to send images for the last 3 months, but nothing is guaranteed til the photos show up in my email box.

Get your baby in the book for 2016.
