As soon as Frank upload his pictures he took of me in July at Lewistown I'll enter that one!!

just throwing this out there... how many different cars are we really going to have in the calender? Id figure it would need to be a 14 month calender so 14 different vehicles?

i know i wouldn't make the resolution that is wanted/required either.

The plan that I have is to do a 12-month calendar, with possibly a 13th car on the cover. I have a few ideas for the cover that would allow more than just one car, but that has yet to be decided....

I'm really hoping we see more interest in this by the due date. I would LOVE to showcase our clubs cars on my wall at work I should have my pic from Frank this weekend sometime hopefully and I will upload it then along with a couple other of my favs

There were quite a few people interested in it when I suggested it this summer. I'll put something on the Facebook page too. I think that people might just not have seen the threads yet.

Can we post up pictures for other people if they won't? LOL!! I know Frank got a good one of The Dragon and there's these two that would be perfect!!

YES!!! I would of submitted that picture but this is the first time I have seen it. Haha! That would be a sic callender picture. I think it would give it a good balance to have some good action shots in it.

When is the submission deadline?

One thought, since the club isn't just about cars, but also the people who build, drive and enjoy them, I think it would be cool if there was a small portrait inset of the owner (being themselves, not posed) on each page with the car photo. I don't know how much extra it would cost, etc. just throwing the idea out there... Ex: this pic of Todd would be a great inset with his car...

Haha, love that pic Stuart!!

I also like this idea if it's possible. I look up at the Dupont calander I have above my desk and it has a little stretch at the bottom with either close up pics of the paint, or under the hood, or of the interrior, along with a picture of the owner and where they are from like this:

That'd be sweet if we can get ours like that.

I can help out with some extra photos, I have some detail/closeup shots of some various member cars that I haven't posted; those tight shots are some of my favorites. I'd also be game to take more of such shots after the voting if needed. I'm certainly no Frank Gray but photography is something that I really enjoy and I'd be game to take some photos of peoples cars if anyone's wanting some fall photos of their car or something to submit for the calendar, just shoot me a PM. I've scouted some cool locations around town where we could get some neat shots...

For the record, I'll buy a calendar regardless of whether any of my shots get chosen, so put me down for at least one.

I kind of like the idea of posting a picture with our cars.... except I don't particularly want a picture of myself in there.

I'm also not sure how much extra formatting it would take. I'm in a pretty work-intensive semester at school, so if someone wants to help with the formatting, I would go for it. I'm just not sure I can get everything done without self-destructing.

I'm glad that there are a few more folks posting pictures, too. I think there are some really great ones!

Anybody have any brilliant suggestions about voting?
