500 Members?

[Freiburger]

At the current sign-up rate, we should hit 500 members by friday unless Thanksgiving messes that up. Number 500 will get a free CarJunkieTV T-shirt!

DF

[Scott Liggett]

Can I sign up again?

[HillbillySailor]

You have CarJunkieTV T-Shirts?

[Freiburger]

You have CarJunkieTV T-Shirts?


Just a few for the staff right now. As I've said in another post, we'll offer 'em to the public when we finalize out logo, etc.

[revolutionary]

Don't you think the FIRST 500 should get free shirts? Y'know a little 'thanks for getting us started' ;)

[nosbaby]

I second that! :)

[Vegaman]

As D.F. said in one of his recent editorials, I too dig a cool t-shirt. One that helps to define who I am. The fact that some people may not get that about the t-shirt, makes it that much cooler too me. I think a t-shirt from here would probably fit that bill. ;)
Sign me up, I'll take one 8)

[SpeedZealot]

I'll just buy a couple from you. I don't want anything for free. I'll just have to figure out how to get them into the rotation with the 200club tees I have....hmmm maybe you could leave the front blank for me or something....hmmmm

[blu65ramb]

I for sure would want a couple, takes at least 2 for wash rotation... speed - leave the front blank, now thats funny ;D

[milner351]

Damn ya'll are a creative bunch.

Yes, put a small version of the logo on the left front, even on a pocket T (yea, I'm an engineer geek and those pockets come in handy, but I DONT have a pocket protector!)

then put the logo big on the back.....

underneath - "if you can't read this, you're too slow"

[HillbillySailor]

I like that idea. I'll buy a couple when they're available. T-shirts are part of my everyday wardrobe.

[purplecobra]

Maybe a special edition for the first 500 members, not for free but only for us ;D

[milkovich]

What is it with Ford guys and "Special Editions?" :D

[KeithTurk]

cause ain't much else there special ya know... LOL


I'M JUST TEASING DAMN IT... I LOVE CARS... ALL CARS... No Brand is better.... so on and so forth... I really didn't mean it... but damn it man... yeah I did it was funny as hell when I wrote it....

[King Matt]

I hope that ALL Car Junkie T-shirts will be available in any color you want, as long as it's black. I can't understand how gearheads could possibly wear anything but.

[TheSilverBuick]

Black? How are you going to show off the oil and grease stains?

[ADV1]

I'd buy a couple! One for working in the shop and one for wearing to cruises/races/ shows and the like...

I also second the front pocket... I'm always using that for stuff ;D

[Srt_girl]

I like that idea. I'll buy a couple when they're available. T-shirts are part of my everyday wardrobe.


Yeah, I know. I wear T-shirts all the time and I perfer them to be car related.

I...uhhh *re-reads thread* I guess I'm seconding that one ;D

[ulrace]

Gotta have them available with the print on the front. That way I can wear them with my trademark flannel......

[TAman1969]

I Second that!!! i havent trashed any of my black T's due to oil and grease stains (yet) ;D yah how about a special t for first 500 members 8)

[Scott Liggett]

Yes, put a small version of the logo on the left front, even on a pocket T (yea, I'm an engineer geek and those pockets come in handy, but I DONT have a pocket protector!)


At what age does the pocket stop being a decorative item and become a cargo container? I just turned 40 and starting to get worried. I remember GrandDad and Dad having cigarettes, reading glasses, business cards and several pens stuffed in there.

[fabricatordave]

no pockets ripped to many of them off sliding out from under cars

[Freiburger]

Eventually we plan to have a number of shirt designs. One for each project car, plus a few with different versions of a CarJunkieTV logo. Now we have the one on the site that looks like door art, but we also want a cool '60s logo, a '70s one, a "van" one, etc. Any of you creative types want to submit some designs for consideration? Know any illustrators?

[BigBlockMopar]

Playing with Photoshop and illustrator is my daily job at the printshop, but I'm no artist.
The HAMB-forum is where you can find some of the 'cream de la creme'. Just have a look in the weekly 'Friday Artshow-Topics' overthere.
I could try to come up with some ideas perhaps.

[purplecobra]

Only black for Mr Turk! :P

[Vegaman]

roflmfao ... too funny!!!!

[Bigbuds1]

like Henry Ford said, " any color you want as long as its black"

[BigBlockMopar]

Check your PM-box please ;)

[KeithTurk]

Black is for Yuppie Harley Riders!!!

I want you to wear your black t-shirt to Bonneville... we'll stick you on the crew and let you work on the car for as long as you survive.... be fun to watch...

You simply have clean and Dirty T's... it's that simple... ( lots of them don't hurt either... )

ALL IN WHITE.... ( Except Matt of course... dude he works for Harley... and he likes my Ducati... so he's okay in Black... )

[ADV1]

heh, I love Black as much as the next guy but I agree about the heat issue! My distributor sponser's BME's dragster and the colors are Black and gold. Whenever there is a national event we all wear black pants, shoes and black polo shirts. Talk about HOT!!! nothing is worse than seeing a 250 lb fat guy sweat himself for a whole weekend! LOL

[Freiburger]

Just 8 more to 500!

[SpeedZealot]

i just noticed that, I just sent a bud of ine an email to sign on.... He fabbed up my nose for the camaro, that is well, oh so bitchin'

[revolutionary]

For someone working on engines all day, black is the ONLY color for a work shirt.

[orbit]

'camo' does a good job of hiding grease stains too. The stain will look like part of the pattern, unless, of course, the stain is something like tranny fluid.

[BigBlockMopar]

unless, of course, the stain is something like tranny fluid.

Copper grease and rust-dust can take good care of those... ;D

[fabricatordave]

ahh trany fluid one of my shirts still smells like that no stains just stinks ever smell fluid out of a turbo car(i know biginch knows!!!!!!!!!)

go through your email almost to 500. put out the word i did two days ago

[SpeedZealot]

thats 4 and counting folks, who will be the lucky winner of the free swag

[fabricatordave]

2 to go

[squirrel]

[Spudman]

Whoo!

[bowtiemonster]

congratulations

[KeithTurk]

How Perfect Jim.... since your such a long time supporter...

Welcome Spudman....

K

[Tonya Turk]

Thanks Spudman.....Keith was driving me crazy waiting for #500. ;D

[bowtiemonster]

Now we wait for 1000

[squirrel]

last night Steve was asking about how hard it would be to put a turbo on the 250 in the bitchin camaro.....and he asked tonight for that santucci book on sixes....hmmm....

[squirrel]

oh yeah...and another of my sons, Gary (GUI) just signed up also. this was all to get the number to 500 so DF would have accomlished his life's mission.

Gary got his driver license yesterday. So today he was out in the shop looking at how to put headers and glasspacks on the 235 in his old truck!

[KeithTurk]

Very cool.... did you buy him his Very own Selectric?

K ( tell him to be damn Careful... )

[SpiderGearsMan]

in the fuel pits , due to clutch dust , everybody wears black , like a funeral home

[Freiburger]

Thanks Jim! We'll hook up both your sons with shirts! Please PM me sizes (L or XL is all we have), colors (tan, orange, ugly light green), and a shipping address.

[squirrel]

wow, thanks!

[mopacltd]

779 members the last count I saw. How can you find out your own member number?

[joe_rocket45]

mouse over your name mr 761 ;D

[1FastMopar]

Do I get a shirt for bringing in more than 300 members in less then 24 hours??? ;D

[Scott Liggett]

I think that merits a free xxl.

[Orange95Z]

With a zipper to be able to get it over his head ;).

[DanStokes]

Keith beat me to it. Try attending the June Maxton meet in a black T. I made that mistake - once. Grown women wept when I pulled a white one out of my suitcase and changed right there in front of God and everyone. Or maybe they threw up? I'm guessing a black one for the shop and a white one for at the track. The Top Fuel guys can wear black all the time, because they can just sniff the fuel can and they won't even notice that they're melting.

BTW - in relation to the heat - be sure that they are almost all or all cotton. That really matters.

Later
Dan

[1FastMopar]

You won't catch me wearing a dark colored shirt out in the sun, never have, never will.. I can't understand people wearing dark colors out in the beating sun.. ::)

[Freiburger]

We don't offer purple.

[min301]

;D


Sorry Eddie, but that was funny.

[Freiburger]

Wow, 900-plus members. 1,000 coming soon.

[squirrel]

Thanks for the shirts, Dave!

[GUI]

In case you're wondering, that's a real-life action shot. We were planning how to put a twin turbo 4.3L in the camaro...

[TheSilverBuick]

Show off :P

[Freiburger]

Glad you got 'em.

Don't you have a inliner in the Camaro? Why not turbo that? I would.

I like 4.3s, but they do have thin walls that could be trouble under boost. Also, you'll need to make a motor plate to set it back against the firewall. They sit far forward if you put them on stock mounts. Brodix has heads for them, BTW.

[squirrel]

yeah, Gary was joking about the 4.3, the 250 is what needs a turbo. and if that fails, there's a 292 in the barn.
