Wagga Wagga All Ford Day '07

XXRR-50 · 22-09-2007, 12:03 AM

I was just wondering about the display for Wagga Wagga. I have an idea about presenting our cars.

One of my hobbies is automotive design. In plain terms, I'm pretty good with pens and markers. Here is an example of what I can do

So I have a suggestion: I can draw a picture of each car on the display, A3 size, with large front 3/4 view and one or two smaller ones(rear view, wheel detail or whatever stands out on your car).

Than we can have another panel with all the specs and mods of each car, put them together with the drawing and laminate them, and then place them on a board in front of each car. I reckon this would be an original way of presentation.

As far as drawings are concerned, I can draw your car to exact detail.

So guys, let me know what you think!

Cheers,
Bud

I may not get to Wagga, but I am interested in a display board for my T. We should talk.

Redrum · 22-09-2007, 12:31 AM

Bud, I like the idea!

b2tf · 22-09-2007, 11:15 AM

I'll definitely be in Wagga (funny that), but if these are available to anybody, Im definitely keen for one, and happy to pay.

BLKPHN · 22-09-2007, 11:53 AM

Absolutly beautiful stuff that would be a great idea for the displays!!
So y aren't you working for FORD doing this stuff???

Im a keen automotive designer its fun but i never seem to have the time these days to sit down and draw.

**MR_LON** · 22-09-2007, 01:16 PM

sounds like an ORSM idea bud, thats a bloody good drawing there

RED FGII · 22-09-2007, 02:40 PM

hey bud that serious art work man..... PM sent

XXRR-50 · 23-09-2007, 12:13 AM

Ok guys, this is the deal. Since drawing is only my hobby(I'm usually doing drawings for my friends etc), I'm not gonna charge you for my time( it takes a few hours to complete a rendering). So, you'll be paying just for the drawing materials( pens, markers, paper etc).

I've got a few days off work next week, so I'll go down to the bookshop and find out how much stuff do I need, but I reckon it shouldn't be more than $15-$20 per head.

Because of the time limit( Wagga is only a month away), I'll first do the cars that are gonna be on display at Wagga AFD, and then the other ones later.

So guys, if everyone is happy to go ahead with this,I would need a list of all cars that will be attending Wagga, with a few pictures of your car( front 3/4 view, rear 3/4 view and side view).

As far as the info sheet, I've made a template that we can use:

Username or numberplate -

Car year and model -

Colour -

Engine mods -

Exhaust -

Gearbox -

Differentia -

Brakes -

Suspension -

Wheels -

Interior -

Other mods -

Stereo -

The Info sheet would have to be printed on A3 size paper, to match the drawing, with ORSM logo as a header, for example. Tristan, maybe you can help with some ideas for this one.

This would be exclusive for ORSM Club members.

Thats it guys, let me know what you think, so I can start sharping those pencils, hehe.

Here is a few renderings from 4years ago of how I imagined the retro inspired GTHO

Cheers,
Bud

b2tf · 23-09-2007, 12:16 AM

Sounds great, and Im more than happy to wait for my ute to be done once the ORSM guys are out of the way! :hihi:

XXRR-50 · 23-09-2007, 01:01 AM

Update on the Info sheet, I added another section Power/PB ET

Username or numberplate -

Car year and model -

Colour -

Engine mods -

Exhaust -

Gearbox -

Differential -

Brakes -

Suspension -

Wheels -

Interior -

Other mods -

I was looking to book accommodation, not sure which day though. Which night are you guys staying there? Also, we could drive there together too.

Cheers,
Bud

Redrum · 28-09-2007, 01:15 PM

Hi Bud, Elyse was organising some accom for us, her uncle (i think) has a small b&b but i think it's now full but there was talk of him helping to get some more accom just down the road (about 200m) if more people required some.
your best bet would be to either pm Theo (ORSMF6) or see Elyse at the next meeting

GTPOWR · 28-09-2007, 04:37 PM

99.9 % I will be coming too. I have to confirm by the weekend. will let you know asap.
Also i will need accom for my son and myself. Maybe some place where Bud will stay.

How do i apply to come.to Wagga?

Will be great to see the ORSM cars here again, put on a great display last year!

RED FGII · 01-10-2007, 04:53 PM

Redrum · 01-10-2007, 05:05 PM

Good question, I cannot see it, I do know a few threads disappeared about a week ago due to database issues. Start a new one in this thread.
