    new here... big pic warning

     



    I'm new to your awsome forums... I can't afford to build my dream hotrod just yet but I love em and always have. I have a huuge collection of plastic models I've built over the years and drawings but thats as far as I've gotten lol. I'm a self taught 3D modeler that likes making all types of vehicles.. hotrods, choppers, exotics... you name it... I had an idea the other day of what to do with all the artwork I've created. I'm thinking it would look good on some T-shirts. (see below) basically I'm wonderign if this is the kind of thing that actual rodders would be interested in? or am I wasting my time with the idea? I'm not here trying to sell them...I'm checking for interest in them. thanks for any replies!

    Welcome to CHR
    Nice work and I beleave a good idea you should or could go to some shows and sell them or even on ebay. People are always buying Tees. A tip would be to have them with pocket tees. I look for them althe time and can never find them. I like to carry my glasses in my shirt pocket and about the only shirts I where are pocket tees.

    thanks for the replies... I could do people's individual vehicles but that would have to be a special order deal.. mabey I'll look into that if this works out. for now I'm working up a few designs to get started. I also have a few that aren't so modernized... no 20" wheels and huge disk brakes lol... more like 15" spokes with whitewalls and drums.

    I'm always looking for t-shirts, and I would really like one with my car on it. The ebay idea is really good too. Good Luck!

    You could also easily do paint designs for people too.

    Welcome Kingcobra, nice work.
    Objects in my rear view mirror are a good thing unless,.... they have red and blue lights flashing.

    I can do specific cars... but I'd get flooded like you wouldn't believe.. the time it takes to make a model one $20 shirt wouldn't really be a good deal for me. if it was a model I already had and it really only needed a wheel and paint job change then it wouldn't be too bad... but as of yet I only have these 2 rods and a 23 T-bucket made. I'm working on a 37 woody and a some others. I have a lot of musclecars and choppers... my library of parts and vehicles grows daily so you never know one day I may be able to throw together personal cars quickly. right now like I said I'm just focusing on these few vehicles and variations of them ( I have lots of wheels, paint jobs and camera angles to keep them interesting) thanks for the replies guys...

    Welcome to here.
    I expect you would have no problem getting $30-$50 for a good quality T. I agree, I always look for T's with a pocket.

    Thoss designs on a good quality material t shirt could easily be sold for $25 - $30 with out being car specific. Your stuff is just that good!!!. On E-bay you should consider a E-bay Store. Also make up a group of shirts with these pictures in sizes L, XL, 2XL, and a few in 3XL and head out to some local car shows to show your wares. If you look at what most places have let over at the end of the year the unsold sizes are usuall small and medium. So you can stay avay form making large orders of them.


    You've got a great talent--- use it well.
