    The Annual Calendar Thread (Finally!)

    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!

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

    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!

    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).

    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.
