Huh, whoever did those "sweep" cars is obviously not a Mustang fan. They made 'em both look like UFOs, meanwhile they used the bodylines from a '69 Mustang as the sweep for a 2nd-gen Camaro.

Actaully, no, they were essentially "traced" off of side veiw photos to make sure the proportions were accurate.

I've owned 3 1970 Mustnag fastbacks, as well as a 2nd gen Trans Am and Camaro.

And as you can tell, right now CafePress has the designes on hold. Which is why I also don't do anything modern like a miata.

The idea started out with the VW and hot rod ones, as I was trying to get the definition of the car with only 5 or fewer lines. I only added the '67 Mustang style after doing one on commission for a Mustang parts source.

And these need to find a way to get up there again (just the bus and ghia are there now)

I'm also kind of pissed at the new Infiniti ads, as I've been doing these designs for about 8 years...

Cafepress will not let you (1) use the OEs name (2) Use ANY facsimile of the OEs design and (3) make a profit.

I use them for stuff I do not plan to make any money from period.

What pisses me off is you can't use any car names in the keywords to drive buyers to your designs even if there is no trademarked material in the design. And if you have a design based on a photo of your own car, you can't use that car's model/make in the keywords that peolel would use to search with, without getting hit by an IP infringement notice.

I did a design for a drag strip, using a stylized hot rod, and made the mistake of putting a couple car brand names in the keywords ("drag racing, drag strip, muscle car, drag car, hot rod, chevy, ford, mopar, quarter mile") and the design got yanked for IP infringement for using the names in the keywords that people use to search with. Same for my BMW club T shirts. It'd be like going to google and typing in Ford and ONLY getting the factory Ford site because the word is trademarked and can't be used in searches.

So I just let them take the designs down, then put them up again a few months later.

Those hot rod shirts paid for my BMW...

So why are the Mustang and Camaro designs on hold, but the rest aren't? I'd love to see an old Wrangler or E30 shirt, but I like all of them.

Because they go by whether or not someone reports the design. there are hundreds of Mustang and Camaro designs on there, but if they aren't reported, they never get taken down.

I love these!! Looks to me like he just had someone that does vinyl cut them out. I'm sure you could just send a MS Paint JPEG image to one of the bigger companies and have it done

I'm still waiting for GRM to make their generic t-shirt in size Small, for skinny emo kids like me!

And the Mad Cow Designs link wins. I may need to purchase the "Eat Sleep Wrench" one.
