All you guys with Kris Horton renderings (posters)

[camcojb]

Any of you that did the renderings and then had posters made up, I am looking for some more to buy for my shops. I still have one of Rick Dorions, but the rest I got from Stuart, Steve Sandlin, Scott, etc. all faded badly. Something to do with the ink used on the later batches of posters. So I will laminate them this time.

So if you have any of these posters for sale please let me know.

Hey Jody -

A little naive on this one. Kris is doing renderings of my 68 Firebird. Is there a print shop that makes those into posters ? If so, my brothers would really like them.

Thanks.

[Kris Horton]

That's a bummer Jody! Were they in bright light most of the time? I don't know much about printing, but I wonder if the shop that printed them UV treated them too. I know a guy that does UV treatment on all his posters and is reasonably priced to boot. I'll get with Scott about this and see if we can't do a re-run for anyone that had posters made the first time around.

Bruce,

I usually charge a little bit extra to do a seperate 24x36, 300dpi rendering that can be printed by Kinko's or any other print shops. Scott knew a place that did a lot of the past ones and they did a pretty good job for a good price, but now that I hear they're fading, I don't know about the quality. Mine are holding up pretty well as far as I can tell, but they're not hit with a lot of light during the day.

Hey Kris

I have emailed you about gettin a proof for posters ready, any progress?

I have had a number of requests.

[XcYZ]

Kris, there were a few batches of posters that were made that used a different process and now those seem to be fading. 1 of mine has faded a bit and the others seem to be fine.

[camcojb]

Yes, no direct sunlight ever, they're too high up on the wall. However they do get fluorescent light. My first run of them on an older machine they used are all perfect, but the last ones I got from all the guys are shot. I have one still in the shipping tube which is ok, it has not seen any light. I will get them treated this time!

Thanks, much appreciated.

I guess the run that mine were done from are OK as mine's been on the wall of my garage for a while with no fading. Happy hunting, Jody!

The one on my wall is faded beyond recognition. The one in the tube still is perfect. Has to be ultraviolet light or the weird California ozone!:D

I am also interested in purchasing some of these posters.
If they are available?
Scott

[Rick Dorion]

Jody, I have some left. I'll gladly send you a replacement. Can they be treated to provent the UV issue?

[LVCamaro]

Likewise, Jody...Kris has done several renderings that I had made into posters, so I'll glady send you any duplicates that I may have left over at this time. I haven't noticed any fading on any of the posters hanging in my shop for several months...

[camcojb]

Thanks Rick/Steve. I only had this on the later batches I got for myself (the black rendition) and the ones from Scott, Stuart, Steve, and Rick. Now I have Steve's 57 in a frame in the second shop along with Scotts first run of posters and they're perfect. These that faded were not framed, but I do not see how a loose-fitting cheapo frame and clear plexiglass is helping, it certainly isn't airtight or anything. The difference it seems is when they were printed, the company had changed machines and ink.


I am sure they can be treated or laminated to protect them. Get me some payment info and I'll get you guys taken care of. I really appreciate it! :thumbsup:

Jody

[Rick Dorion]

No payment necessary. It's covered under the money-back satisfaction policy!

I just need mailing info , again :)

[Roger Poirier]

I think you guys are all crazy. I would have all Chris's renderings done by a true printing method, not copied. Heck, you could then have 1,000 made up of each and then sell them. The drawings are that good. I'm sure people would pay money for them at a car shows etc.

R.P.

[XcYZ]

That's we did, they were full on printed in true color, full gloss on 80lb poster stock at 24x36. I spoke with them about the issues and they were quite surprised that we had any problems... which have since been taken care of... but there's still the issue with possible fading.

EDIT: Forgot to add that I'm thinking about having prints made of the 3D model (http://www.lateral-g.org/rendition/3Dmodel/) that Tom Sullivan is working on. I think either a 3D exploded parts view or a cut away view of the entire car showing all the intricate pieces he has created would be pretty cool. I don't know how many (or should I say if?) I'll have made, but I know I'll want a couple for myself. :)

[Rick Dorion]

I'll take one, Scott!

[Musclerodz]

My are still rolled up at the moment and are fine. I will look into protecting them before I hang them up. There are several I don't have yet I would like to get so you guys that have them still pipe up. I have Scott's, one of Jody's, and Dorion's. I need the rest!

Kris, I still need to get with you and have mine rendering posterized.

Same here Jody.

Hi all,

I am new to the forum, :hail: alot of good info and was wondering what kind of price range is it to have the renderings done? I am about 30% into my project. And would be nice to have the motivational help at times. My project is a 65 corvette with a ZL1 Ram jet with 200r4 tranny (all billet parts), vbp tubular a-arms, composite spring up front, rack & pinion steering, qa1 dbl adj shocks, rock valley ss fuel tank with dbl walbro pumps, ssbc alum. calipers, slotted rotors, and that about it so far, next step will be a rear end from Tom's Differential.

Thanks for any info.

Welcome, Chuck. Sounds like an awesome project.

As for renderings, you have several choices... John McBride, Kris Horton, Jason Rushforth, all of which are members here. I'd suggest contacting them directly and getting a quote. :thumbsup:

I'm looking forward to seeing pictures of your Vette.

Welcome Chuck...sounds like a neat project! I bought #14 ZL1 RamJet in a crate a couple years ago and put it in my yellow '69 Velle-vert. If yours has never been ran, I highly recommend you drop the pan and check torque settings on the main and rod caps BEFORE you run it. #14 was horribly out of balance too, so as a precaution... watch for that also.

C2 Vettes are a favorite of mine, so keep us posted on progress...

I had seen the post of your problems before the power tour, I think is was on the Register Forum. I have number 110 and if you go back to the hot rod article a couple of years ago on the ZL1 Big Block is Back article, I think mine was being processed at that time so I hope they were alot more careful since the media was there but I am not taking any chances. I have not checked mine out yet but I will this winter and if I have your problems Pace Performance will be getting a call. Thanks for the heads up.

Chuck
