Hey everyone,
I know it is kind of early to be talking about a calendar, but I wanted to start a thread just to remind you all to take some cool pics of your cars this summer. Make sure you take them in the highest setting for size your camera has. It comes out better the bigger they are. If you don't know how to set your camera to it's highest setting, they have online user manuals for most of them now. :D LOL
Ok, get to taking pics. I will ask for them this winter! :D
-
Kim,
While I can't have Harold in a calendar since I will be chopping up that pain in the butt soon I will get some good pics of my new Pinto. Where do you want them sent to?
-

I'll post a email address later in the year. For now this is just a reminder to take some cool pics! :D
-
Ready for the address! It is about time to start, right?
-
I'll post something in November. I'm going to be doing the main scanner job at my work for the next 2 weeks so I won't have time to go through emails and such. Would be easier for me to just wait till I can go back to my normal schedule after the first of Nov.
-
Ok everyone,
I am planning on taking a vacation next week and will try to start working on the calendar then.
You can send your picture to myhrdly@gmail.com Try to make it the biggest picture your camera will take and send it as big of file as you can send. They come out better once put on the calendar. That and I can just add them to the calendar and not have to do any size increases to get them to fit the page. It is easier to shrink a photo and have it come out looking good, then to increase the size. You can look at this years calendar and see what I mean. Some of the pics I had to increase and even with that it didn't fit the page.
Thanks,
Kim
Oh, and I will be doing like I did last year, just a pic no info. Makes it a lot easier for me to do them that way. :D

Got them but the pics are pretty small. They are only 210K and they would be better if they were in the 2000K or bigger size. If you don't have anything that big I will most likely put all 3 on one month to help fill in the space.
-
Sent two. If you need more let me know.

SORRY NEW TO THE CALENDER SO YOU ARE LOOKING FOR PICTURES OF OUR PERSONAL PINTOS AND BOBCATS?

Yes, pics of your own cars. That can include other Pintos that may be in the same pic, like at a show.
Email pics (BIG pics) to myhrdly@gmail.com Big pics as far as size, like 2000K or bigger. They work better on paper.
-
ok great!!
-
Sorry everyone, but there has been a slight delay on me making the calendar. I ended up rescuing a 1-2 year old Doxie when I was on vacation (the time I planned on doing the calendar), and it has been hectic ever since. LOL This little guy doesn't stop. Constantly wanting to play with me or the others, which in turn makes it near impossible for me to play on the computer. I even had to switch back to my mouse instead of using my track pad. They kept hitting the pad and sending me to web pages of all kinds. LOL
I hope things will settle down soon and I can get to making the calendar. I will definitely try to get it done before Jan. though.
-
I haven't purchased a calendar but I can understand the work that you are going thru.
Please realize that many of us do truly do appreciate that you take time from your family (as well as plain old "me" time) to let the rest of us enjoy the product of your labor.
Thank You. I appreciate it.

Ok, I just spent an hour and a half putting the calendar together. Then tried to move it over to the for sale section. I couldn't do it. Then I recalled having this problem last year. Cafe press has made it really hard to design things now. When I design it in the spot to make it for sale, the pics are to small to see. That is why I wanted BIG pics. Most the pics everyone sent are only 400x400. They need to be 3200x3200. That is a huge difference. So needless to say, it is back to square one. I really don't even want to try to do it on Cafepress now. To much of a pain. I will have to go to my photo editing software and enlarge everyones photos. This take a ton of time.
I am going to try to make the calendar on zazzle. Only bad thing it is more expensive and there isn't a choice for charter members and all.
For now, I'm pretty frustrated and will probably try it another day.
-
Ok, I decided to try something and it worked. I had to resize all the photos to 2000x????? (the software automatically puts in the other size). So there is no garantee on how it will look in print. The pics may be blurry. So buyer beware.
Here is a link to the calendar.

Charter members can go to the chartermember area of the site and buy it there for a discount.
Oh, and I used the pics I had, some people got more then others and I also included a Maverick. It was cool and I didn't have enough Pintos. :D
-
I love the April picture... where did that come from?
Dwayne :)
-
Looks good nice job. ;) I see you included a picture of my Rallye's big brother. 72 Grabber. Thanks for taking the time making the Calendar again!!

they just removed the calendar from their site and sent me a cancellation notice on both of my orders......sa id its a improper image.....WTH????
-
Just got the same email not sure what it meant! Any more info would be great!
Thanks

I wondered about that. I tried to make a Bus calendar shortly after finishing the pinto one and they (cafe press) flagged everyone of my photos, which are mine and other club members buses. I emailed them about it but haven't heard back. I was guessing because of the VW emblem on the buses, they (cafe press) are not allowing them. I wonder if this is the same thing going on with the Pinto calendar?
Scott, because you are the owner of the cafe press store, can you investigate this further? Again, so far i haven't heard back from them yet on my bus issue.
I am making a bus one on Zazzle, So far I haven't had any issues. I'm not done with it and I haven't offered it for sale yet, but when I do, I will let you all know what happens.
Funny, how many years have we made calendars on cafe press? Now all of a sudden we can't use pics because of a ford or pinto or vw emblem?? This really pisses me off because of the fact that these vehicles no longer belong to ford or VW they belong to us. We should be able to use pictures of our cars in the way we want.
Oh, they even flagged pictures that no VW emblem is seen. Just a view of the bus itself.
-
Just went and checked the cafepess area where I can see all designs. So far they have only "pended" (their word for flagged) one of the photos. It is of the Black Pinto with the hood scoop. Funny thing is, there are 3 others I accidentally uploaded right beside it that are not "pended". LOL They also marked our calendar as "pending". Another funny thing, the 2013 calendar is sitting right next to it and it is fine. LOL
-
One more, I just noticed they (cafepres) have "pended" several other things that have been for sale for a long time. Looks like cafe press may be out for designing our own things to sell. Maybe we will have to all right them giving them our permission to use our car in the calendar. LOL
-
Kim my order of 2 gardeners and 1 t-shirt was cancelled they won't say why .call on Monday cuts service # 18778091659. Is there another way to make the calendars outskirts thanks chris :'(
-
Looks like they have deleted the spot to order 2014 can lenders as well on carelessness. :'( :'( chris
-
the April picture is a drawing my youngest son Aaron freitas made for me on father's day.he loves deloren back to the furture car and I like pinto cars.he was 15 at the time he's now 18.
Thanks for the information, Chris! It's always nice to see original artwork produced by a young artist.
Dwayne :)
-
I can try to make them at zazzle but they are about 5 or 6 bucks more and I'm not sure if a discount can be given. Then on top of that, not sure once we post them for sale, if they won't flag it there?
I will try in the next few days and see what happens.
We need to see what Scott can do too, he may be able to fix this problem!
-
I'll call on Monday... The PCCA has permission from Ford to use pint images, logos and such... I have the Ford signed artwork and approval.
Hopefully this will blow over with little effort..
-
Yah, I thought you had permission from Ford to use it all. I'm sure once you let them know that and maybe email them a copy of your permission slip, lol, all will be good in the world of Pinto goods! :D
-
That's good news I hope you get it approved.thank s to Scott and Kim a lot of us want the calendars and some pinto stuff. Chris

So they are saying I can't even use the image of the bus ( or any other Vw vehicle). It's not just the emblem they are flagging but the actual shape of the bus. Ridiculous!
I'm emailing Gregory later to let him know that this seems rather drastic and we are not making them to resale them we are making them for our own personal use.
I'll let you all know how that goes.
-
Don't know if you used my pic. If you did send me an address and I'll send permission asap.

Was unable to contact Café Press via Phone- their regular number answered and told me to call another number- the second transferred me to some phone system that was not working. I Tried to explain this to the folks on the main number but they were unmoved. I send the following email to the address on the popup-
Gentlemen,
RE: Pending Status 1208949895
It seems we go through this every 2 years- I tried to call your Phone number you put on the popup for the pending status and it asks me for spelling for a last name (phone system)- I'm emailing you instead.
We have permission from FORD to utilize images of the pinto and its logo. We are the Pinto Car Club of America. Attached are the 'Permission Slips' from Ford to use these images.
Please clear the pending status on this and all related images or give me another contact where I can again resolve this issue.
Regards,
Scott Hamilton
