While going through the photos of the 25th and finishing up the book I came across several "poster shots" of the prototypes. One of which is an incredible beauty shot of the '89/'90 prototype. I can do a short run on 20X30 posters (I am going to have a sample made to make sure my camera's resolution is good enough for that huge of a shot) But I was thinking of the one Large beauty shot of the prototype and a line of smaller shots of the car, interior,engine,etc... along the bottom of the large photo all framed in black and with a single line of text underneath proclaiming what is on the poster.... "-- Pontiac Fiero 1989/1990 Prototype -- Pontiac, MI 25'th Anniversary --"

I'm making one for me. I think I will be able to sell them for $15.00 each + shipping (I have no idea how much for shipping) IF I can get them done in batches of 10 or more. I'll post a photo here when I get mine finished so everyone can make a decision.

I will not be making anything more than $1.00 each on these things. Again it's because I am having such a blast with this and want to offer it to everyone here.

Is it a good idea?

I always wondered how you got GM to garage and take care of that car of yours, Too bad you only drive it once every 5 years.

OK, I can now start working on the poster. I had printed a 12X18 print of the photo I want to use and it looks really good so I'm moving forward with creating a nice 20X30 poster print. I'll post a image (smaller than full size ) of it here when I get it done and ask what you all think before I have a test printed.

and I promise... no smiling Fred in the photo... well except for the one he orders. JK

timgray go to USPS.org, or com or what ever it is. You can get free shipping containers. I used them to ship 55 sets of dew wipes October last year. You can save a little on the shipping cost that way. And I want one also.

Getting closer to getting this done and ready. I had to search for a company that would do small runs of 20X30 posters for an affordable price. The last one I had lined up decided to triple their price after I asked for a written quote.

I'll be posting a proof image of the poster very soon. I have not forgotten about this, I'm trying to get the costs down so I can sell it for the target price.
NOTE: I made my userbars in a free graphics program called GIMP.
