914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Should I go on with this ?

Posted by: johannes Mar 29 2006, 06:58 AM

I just had in mind to add a "vintage style" T-shirt to the 914garage shop.

I made some squetches and this is the one I think is going the right way.

I want a funny T-shirt with lots of colors.

I also wanted to add a text like " 914 never die, they just go faster "

If you have any suggestion for a funny text that suits to the drawing ... Feel free to post !!! .

How about
"914s never die, they just rust away "

I like the retro t-shirt look, like the shirts the Rat's Hole sells. Maybe if the image was sliding through some cones instead of drag racing.

That's more like it. How about "Women love me, cones fear me". Seems like I heard that somehwhere else?

Posted by: bondo Mar 29 2006, 11:48 AM

I love it! How about something like http://www.mrprophead.com/ww2/xp47kill.jpg on the door but with cones instead.

How about just "Cones fear me"

And the driver's face needs to look more fierce than fearful.

They both look great.

I like the "Women love me, cones fear me" line.

But "Cones fear me" by itself isn't as classy. The first line gives it a James Bond type edge. And we're all James Bond, right?

Rockin' graphics though!

Awesome! When do they go on sale?

If everyone agrees with the "Cones fear me" ... They could be on sale tomorrow.

Posted by: itsa914 Mar 29 2006, 04:09 PM

Awesome. I wish I could draw something more that just stick people.

I would order one.

Posted by: Dr Evil Mar 29 2006, 04:18 PM

For the first one maybe something more like, "Faster than rust!"

"Cone Killa" is enough for me.. To me, too much text on a graphic based shirt just makes it busy.

The great thing about this shirt idea is if anyone says "but killing cones is bad!" you can say "I don't hit em, I scare em to death!"

except gwen is more of a bond "girl", so i can see why that line might not work for her ...

i agree!

This is my second or third vote for "women love me, cones fear me."

And we have TWO different t-shirt designs here, so the other one can be different.

People are OBVIOUSLY interested in your artwork!

Nice Art! Killing cones and Jackstands since 1969.

That ones good. But I don't think the first teener was put on jackstands until around 72-73. It was a historical year...

Killing Cones since '69

I can make any custom car color you want but I will have to charge 3 $ extra because it's not done in a second.

I can also make a custom text but also will have to charge 3 $ extra

I love the drawing!!!

I hate to be the nitpicky one, but the 914 in the picture is behaving like a... like a... front driver....

Front wheel drive cars will lift an inside rear wheel when cornering hard, 914's lift an inside _front_ wheel...

I love the concept! And the art work is fantastic!

Bad shocks. The front right is bottomed out and the front left is siezed up. THAT is standard on a 914, yeah?
