Don't want to get anybody's panties all up in a bunch but seeing as how it's the end of the year, anything happening on the calender front?

Robert

I asked the same question about 1 week ago. Not one response. I don't know what the deal is.

I think that you need a volunteer(s) to judge the beauty contest and then another(s) to do all the work with the pics.

The current calendar runs through March.

Got the same pic into a F-Body club out of Chicago. Bill http://www.cafepress.com/cp/get_lat...89609919&pr=June&showBleed=False

Very cool!

Ah! I didn't realise it went that long. Just wanted to make sure I got one.
Cool pic Bill.

Robert

Did someone say Calender?

You can delete this if it's to much. Just having some fun.

Nice progress pictures there ho428. It's coming along.

Oh MAN! That's nice work! I'm glad I took the time to look. WOW You saved a car.

Saved a car??? That steel looked like brand new! Sure isn't a rust belt body!

Rust belt or no, they all need what he did. He saved a car. Something to put in the 'lifetime accomplishments' column. It will last just about forever now.

He's doing great work on a great body. It'll be a real beauty when done.

Agreed! Beauty is only skin deep. This baby will last!!!!

I love seeing any classic car return to life. When it's a 1st Gen, it's even better.

I wish mine looked as good as the January pic. Nice set up! Great job, It is dafinately gonna be beautiful!

Agreed, beautiful she already is. Just being an first generation makes her a 10 not matter what condition she looks like. But it is coming out great i cant wait for mine to be like that. hopefully soon enough it will be.
so whats the deal with these calenders...did someone make some last year?
If we found some good pictures we can throw one together quickly on shutterfly.

Jordan,
That's the way the last one started out.

Anybody want to do it this year because i would sure love one?

Are you asking for picture donations? I've got a picture I've been saving. As long as you promise I don't get cut. Next time someone tells me I'm in and cuts me I'm coming to their house.

I thought Smitty and Vikki were collaborating on one. Or did that fall though?

I'm not doing anything over the holidays but car shopping and family stuff, and Smitty's been conspicuously absent for a while.

I might have a photo to submit if someone else adopts the project.

I was just looking them up on shutterfly and we can do a lot of 25 for $299 each one costing around $12 and with the shipping it will probably total $15. I dont know, Im temped

Do it Jordan. You won't have any problem getting enough pictures.

Smitty and Vikki were collecting pics. Maybe they can forward what they've got so far. The one who does the calendar has the power to choose - but then has to listen to the complaining later on.

I would grab the first 12 decent pics and go with it. Nobody can argue with 'first come, first serve'. If that would have happened last time there wouldn't have been any complaints.

Send pictures my way. I will take the project on and use my soon to be finished updated eStore to manage the piece. This way I can throw in a couple free ones to Drew who I still owe a shirt to from a year ago.

Send pictures to the following address if you want to have your First Generation Firebird considered: Geoff@FirstGenFirebird.org

The higher the resolution the better as anything with too little will not work:
1. TIFF or JPEG formatting with no or minimal compression.
2. Try to keep file size below 6MB.
3. File Needs to be at least 1280 x 960.
4. First 12 pictures I pick will be considered for qualification.
A. Minimal background
B. Background matching season may be picked over another.
C. Put "Firebird Calendar" in subject of email
D. I have soul discretion and have the right to tell anyone upset with what I picked to bug off.
E. Insert what ever legal garbage I need here.

Geoff,
Do you have a deadline?

First 12 I get which make the cut so should be in next week. I am on vacation the week of Christmas so I want to have my test calendar completed then and sent to Photo center for a sample.

YAY.. We're gettin some calenders. I was just coming on to write that if no one was up for the job, my parents agreed to front the money for me to create it but it looks like its taken care of. Thanks.

That'll be great Geoff. It'll be interesting to see how many sell. Emailed my entry last night. Too bad we didn't get this together in time for christmas orders.

Robert

I'd be interested in one since mine was for 2006

Maybe my bird will be available for an '08 calender

I`ll be interested in buying one too, even though I `m not a contender to be in one this yearith my car, wouldnt be fair...but ,who knows I might be IF one pic from a Half Group shot gets in...I think it would be nice with a couple of group shots too...

WHEW! Man, what a relief. Bjorn, not in the running. That would free up a month or three!

If I get both done this year maybe I can get two months next year?
Coupe resto is underway, vert starts hopefully in the late Spring.

Just a reflection .or perhaps an idée for Calendar 2008
Take the time to look at http://www.cougarsandkittens.com/preview07.htm

Nice Calender and nice intention
What do you think?

Well, I for one prefer the cars by themselves...

Our car was chosen for a 2008 Auto Zone Calendar, kinda cool, should be interesting as it will feature a car model from CA. The photo shoot takes place this May in Vermont I beleive...

Viking, I gotta kind of agree with Vikki on this one. I like the cars and I enjoy the models but I think one detracts from the other.
68. That's pretty cool. Do all of the cars chosen have to get to Vermont somehow to be photographed? Sounds like a PITA.

Robert

Is it me, or does it look like they photoshopped the babes into the photos?
