gona make ya famous
« on: January 13, 2009 3:34 am »
as pulled from hopupmag.com

We’ve shown this image before with the Huntimer-designed bang-quet decal on the dash, but this time it’s a tease for the car it’s attached to...Tom Huber’s well-known, well-traveled modified roadster. We have a feature on it in Hop Up Volume X; pre-sales for that issue will start in a month or so.




way cool tom

Thanks. I just sent off the consent, waiver and release form, never had to do that before. But I never had full feature before, just one or two shot at an event. Anybody ever had to do this??

It's a standard "I'm going to make money off this so you can't sue me for using a picture of your car" stuff.  

Congrats Tom.

8) Congrats Tom.....I'll have to get that one.  I'm sure it will be one of the biggest highlights of your rodding history.

I suppose "signed copies" will be a premium?  :)

I had to do the release thing with Am. Rdr. in '95 for the RPU feature.  I think it must be pretty standard.  You are giving them ownership of those photos and agree to let them use them for what ever they want, including advertising.

I had to. The year he came through here it was raining. The next time we were to get together at the salt he wasn't there like we had planned, he ended up at a wedding. Then he suggested I take them and send them to him and he let me know if they were good enough. He like them and said he could use them. So now the T will be in number ten.

I told him it's a little self serving, he said they do it a lot.

Check with Randy Gribble he handles them.

Yes it will. Like I'm sure it was for you also. :)  

With us living up here in the sticks we don't get much press. And there are some dam fine builders around these parts!!
