Keep in mind we need high res photos from all the winners.
IF you are nominated in more than one month, and you are selected, there won't be duplicate months so nominations will be removed for the rest.

how are you loading them to this thread? 
If you do add them though (PLEASE DON'T), they will be removed as the only pics here will be those that are IN the calendar.

I am honored you all think my truck should be in the calendar but I am requesting it be discluded and you guys pick another one.

uuhhhmmmmmmm,NO. It deserves to be where it is in my opinion, unless it will offend you. Hotrod24 and Blazin are right, We need you, and this is a small way to honor you.
Title: Re: Current Official Calendar Layout
Post by: VileZambonie on December 05, 2008, 07:07:59 AM
Wow, thanks guys, but I'm a little ticked off at it right now. I was driving it after I did some body work to it and heard the engine start ticking so I brought it back in the garage. When I put my stethoscope on it I was having a hard time pinpointing it. Sounded like one of the roller lifters at first. So I pulled the VC's and the intake and all looked good. I drained the oil and dropped the pan only to find out my oil pump pick up cracked in half and laying in the bottom of the oil pan. It's an aftermarket pan and pickup that bolts in place rather than press fit. I usually tack and then cold weld them in but I figured with this bolt on design it wasn't going anywhere. Nevertheless that was a foolish mistake on my part (not following my own rules) and now I have to pull the engine back out and I'm sure at the very least I'll be putting in another crank. I'm so mad about it I don't want it to be in there.

Vile, I know your hacked, but would you feel the same if it was a crate engine under warranty?
Think of it this way, you've returned the engine for warranty. You just happen to be the one doing the work.
I guess I don't understand, it is still a very cool truck and will be fixed soon. Plus, none of our trucks are ever "finished".

my $0.02

Post by: JRConnieK10 on December 05, 2008, 08:57:20 AM
Vile, I hate hearing that but as I think everyone has already expressed its well worth being right were its at. I'm sure you'll get it fixed and do it proably even better again. Chin up man I know you've heard the saying "   it happens"  It could be worse. Keep it in the calender. Thats my vote.

  ooohhhh, sorry about that man.... Misunderstood and confused another thread for this one..... I thought you guys were still wanting more pics of 4x4's and that is why i was going to load pics to the thread. Sorry about that!! Nice pics in the thread no dout though!!!!!!!!

Calendar looks good!   

I know that feelin Vile!  I'd like it to stay though, but I know how ya feel!

Post by: eventhorizon66 on December 05, 2008, 12:27:10 PM
Hey Vile, sorry to hear about your loss, but it doesn't mean you hate the truck, right?  I know I've been so PO'd at my truck that I've thought I'd like to see it crushed.  But to hear that one of the most revered mentors on this forum can't stand the sight of his own truck, that kinda gives me chills (not to be over-dramatic or anything).

But if you don't change your mind after you cool off, I think everyone here should respect your request and find another January truck.

Post by: VileZambonie on December 05, 2008, 05:02:55 PM
I am just irritated beyond belief that a Milodon pickup would just break and fall off. If I had just put that one little tack there just to be safe. Oh well. New oil pump and possibly crank and she'll be good to go again lol.
Title: Re: Current Official Calendar Layout
Post by: dunedigger on December 05, 2008, 05:33:13 PM
Yeah, that sucks man but keep the truck in the calendar  ;D
Title: Re: Current Official Calendar Layout
Post by: Blazin on December 07, 2008, 07:19:42 AM
Bud, Whats up with this? My opinion stays the same, it needs to be in there. My Blazer is broke at the moment, probably will be for the rest of the winter, but!

Sorry dude, roll it outside repose the shot and send me a hi-res pic, it is going in there.
Title: Re: Current Official Calendar Layout
Post by: VileZambonie on December 08, 2008, 04:15:13 PM
I would and was going to however I have the engine in 38475897345 pieces right now so there's no way to duplicate the shot for a while.  :(

Darn it!  I love that shot!

Hey Vile: What are the odds another 454 rebuild thread?  Maybe a few of us can learn from your mistake, as well as drool over your engine as it goes back together, again.
Title: Re: Current Official Calendar Layout
Post by: VileZambonie on December 08, 2008, 04:52:12 PM
lol well there was nothing wrong with the build other than me putting my faith in a part that I still can't understand why it broke but had I followed my own ethics I wouldn't be going out into my garage in 5 minutes. I will post updates on what I find in that thread.
Title: Re: Current Official Calendar Layout
Post by: dunedigger on December 18, 2008, 11:23:10 AM
Any update on the calendar ???  I see there is a 2009 calendar available to purchase in site merchandise but wasn't sure if buying one would set aside this calendar or not? 
Title: Re: Current Official Calendar Layout
Post by: Captkaos on December 24, 2008, 11:57:14 AM
The one in the site merchandise isn't this one.
I am still waiting for pics.  I have 3 good high res pics from users.  I am about to post their names and send them PM's.  I wanted to finish it before the end of the year....
Title: Re: Current Official Calendar Layout
Post by: Captkaos on December 24, 2008, 12:19:39 PM
Vile, Blazin, Hooligan, Haulinit, SgtDel, cubicdollars!

I need you to email me the highest resolution pic you have of the above photos.  Blazin, the only one I need from you is December.

Just don't do like I did and chose default economy shipping.  Last time I got normal shipping and it was here in 5 days.
Title: Re: Current Official Calendar Layout

Cool! I just ordered one!
Title: Re: Current Official Calendar Layout

Thanks. By the pics it looks great. So I ordered a couple.
Title: Re: Current Official Calendar Layout
Post by: Captkaos on January 26, 2009, 01:13:16 PM
I am hoping they turn out ok.  There were a few pics that weren't high enough resolution for a full bleed, so I had to resize them.  I am hoping for the best, but hopefully future winners can give me the original file set at the best resolution.
