Datsun Roadster Forum-311s.org

Well, the 2021 roadster calendar is finished and ready to ship! It's another fine calendar! A few repeat cars, but mostly new cars! I have attached a sheet with information for ordering one, I also have an Etsy site now if anyone prefers a more "traditional" ordering experience... www.etsy.com/shop/GrassValleyPrinters

If you are unfamiliar with the infamous roadster calendar, it is a calendar of Datsun roadsters compiled with photos from 311s.org members. $1 from every calendar sold will be sent back to Steve to help cover the cost of operating this great site. This is the 10th edition of the calendar!

I almost didn't get it done this year! We lost a lot of event related business when the pandemic hit, so I had to axe my brother! lol. (we are on great terms tho, and he started an eBay business and is making more now than I ever paid him. lol) Anyway, I've been running the shop solo these days! It's been going pretty well, and I think I'll be able to maintain for the foreseeable future, but it certainly leaves me with less time for these pet projects. I was fretting about not getting the calendar done by Ted's deadline and was worrying about my FOT status and I realized I needed to go for a roadster drive and get myself in the right mindset in order to see this 10th calendar through to completion! So, after some miles behind the wheel, I decided to cut some corners to speed up the processes and lessen my work load. So, I cut the bios altogether and used a generic calendar template. I also am not bleeding the calendars out this year, so that means there will be a white border around the edge of the photos. It's not the way I like to make my calendars, but I think they still look good and I doubt most folks will notice the difference and it really saves me quite a bit of labor. I've also lowered the price back to $14 shipped!

And finally, thanks Ted for helping with the photos! It wouldn't have happened without you!

I hope everyone is holding up okay out there! Merry Christmas!

Thanks Jared!!

Fantastic Jared, thanks for all your hard work on this!!

Thanks for all the work Jared!
Sent you an e-mail for shipping to Europe.
Best wishes and hope your family is doing well.

Ordered. Thanks!!

You rock

Thanks for your persistence regarding the calendars. Glad to hear you are making the best of the current situation. Sounds like a win for your brother. The yearly calendars are something many of us look forward to at the end of each year. Wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a successful New Year. Ordered my usual using your Etsy shop.

Thanks Jared,
You're the bomb. Even if these we shipped in March, I would be happy.

Happy to support via Etsy - looking forward to seeing it. Maybe one day Eliza will grace those pages.

Merry Christmas Eve! I think I'm going to find my Santa hat and take the ol roadster to work this morning! hehehe.

I got most of the orders mailed off yesterday. I really enjoy doing the calendars once I actually get going on them. Fortunately, I purchased stamps last week, so I didn't have to wait in the lengthy line at the PO yesterday!

The Etsy site seems to be working well too, I think it will be much easier to manage orders and keep track of everything. I should have tried it years ago! lol. Paypal is still good to use tho.

Ladydriver.... I got your email, I'm working on it now. It looks like international pricing has gone up a bit! :-/ I will check my weight again and I'll send you guys a quote later this morning.

I sent payment via paypal rather than Etsy. Thanks!

Jared,

Received mine yesterday. Much thanks, this is my first of hopefully many to come. First rate job, YOU DO NOT CHARGE ENOUGH!

Great job once again Jared & elves who helped you!

Can these be shipped to Canada?
Etsy says no.
