OK guys, I'd like to get some help from you....

First, to let the secret out.... Adrian has been chosen to be in the 2016 PPG Platinum Distributors Calendar. WooHoo!

I am very thankful the crew at Musclecar Memories Restorations uses PPG products!

Side note: When I was filling out the paperwork for PPG, it's the first time I realized there is 6 different PPG courses of product on Adrian that were used in various phases of the project... Whew:

DP50LV Gray Epoxy Primer
DPS3055 Gray Acrylic Urethane Surfacer
DAS3025 Gray Acrylic Urethane Sealer
DCC Acrylic Eurathane (red oxide primer)
DBC 2000 Basecoat (CODE 24)
D8152 Performance Glamour Clearcoat

So, last week we went out for a shoot. We chose a Goodyear tire store in downtown San Antonio.

Here's a short list of shots we are considering for the calendar. I couldn't find the online pole that used to be an option on these forums so we'll score them the old fashioned way... by number crunching... Ugh...

Like golf, low score wins, so please rank from 1 to 4, 1 being first choice etc.

Drum roll.... Popcorn ... and here they are:

Coming down the aisle now is Choice A.
A modest front shot of Adrian:



Next down the aisle is Choice B. A magnificent profile of Adrian showing perfection against the Goodyear wall:



And here comes Choice C. The photographer dubbed this shot of Adrian... 'Caught a bluebird last night'



Finally... Choice D. Adrian colorfully bogarting down the aisle in 'The tower shot'



Scoring:
A. ?
B. ?
C. ?
D. ?

Voting will be through Friday May 8 as the pics have to be submitted to PPG by then.

D, B, A, C.

D: Has that glamour/flashy look to it.
B: Only issue is that it's a dead on side view
A: Looks more Lucerne blue
C: Too much black

These are all great comments. Thank you.

Sorry Judge273 and Superduty Bob and others with partial entries, I can't get them on the scorecard but comments are duly noted. I think it's interesting that you each have varying views on where the Goodyears should be clocked to finish the picture...

One thought is the Goodyears upside down mirror the Goodyear on the building and complete the shot, the other the Goodyears should be clocked to the top to match the sign.

I'm working on clocking the tires to the top as we speak. It's raining outside today so you know how I'm getting r done

Things are tight between the profile shot and Tower shot.

Like golf it takes me longer to finish a round...

You've got to learn not to stop into the 19th hole at the turn, but instead wait till the end of the round.

You can do that?

BTW, driving lights left on would have been a nice touch - always sets the car off properly.
