That is an issue that has already been discussed extensively. It will not have a group of cars predominate to any site or controversial renderings so not to ruffle anyones feathers. I will be a broad mixture of cars to appeal to everyones tastes. Kris nor I have any intentions to play favorites or piss anyone off. I fealt there was a market to do these and approached Kris about it and he agreed. More info will be released as certain items become finalized.

Ideally it would be a set of cars done by me to my own specs. As Mike said, there won't be any playing favorites or using cars that were contracted by clients. We just want it to be a nice calendar that people can hang around their house, office, or garage. That was the goal the first time around, but back then there was talk of using customers' cars. This time we hope to keep it drama-free.

I'm Interested!

Is there going to be any G-bodies in it? If not I have one you could use!

I wish it had cars that were real cars, that are done so people could see the concept and the reality. Of coarse since we probably have Kris highest rendering to project completion ratio, my opinion could be self serving, LOL!

Concept/reality shots is a great idea, but I am concerned about the issues from the past creeping into this and I don't want that.

I did not follow the last post, but I think I got the jest of it. I cannot imagine why anyone would see it as anything but a honor to get any coverage of their car. You are welcome to use any of our cars, only thing I ask is you name owner and builder. And I hope you out sell Mcdonalds!

Frank,

Mike and I are just concerned about people taking issue with us making a profit off of it. It's a topic that's been argued to death, so we just want to avoid it being a problem this time around.

If Prodigy is cool with us using their cars, I think we could maybe devote a month to them showing the cars designed and completed. Heck, a couple more cars and we could fill a whole calendar with Prodigy/CbK projects.

We'll sort out the details.

As far as Porsche's and G-Bodies (haha...apples and oranges anyone?) It's a possibility. I'm partial to G-Bodies as well having owned an 84 El Camino SS, and believe it or not, I've actually done renderings of a Porsche 356...

If the initial cost of producing these calendars wasn't so high, I'd consider doing 3 seperate runs with different pictures, just to try and satisfy everyone's wishes. Best I can do right now is say let's see how this first one does, and if it does well, we'll be back next year with even more. Baby steps for now though.
