Turned my Porsche art into a website
 
I have been a Porsche fan my whole life. I was on the "rennlist" when it was still an (email based) list. I bought my first 911 in 2001 in Germany, we used it for a road trip before shipping it back to this side of the pond.

I am also pretty good at sketching, and when I finished rebuilding my last 911 a few years back, which is documented here in a few threads, I wanted to do some t-shirts for myself.

Fast forward to now, and I decided I might as well put a website together where I can feature my designs and offer them to all other Porsche nuts. I am also planning on having a regular blog of random car info and topics, and maybe a forum as well.

I would like to invite you to take a look and let me know what you guys think. Pls keep in mind this is brand new, and still work in progress, but your feedback would be appreciated.

Also, feel free to drop me a line with any special requests.

The site is: https://rennform.com/

Thanks in advance, looking forward to hearing from you.

Thank you. Adding water cooled cars is in the works.
Anything specific?

I did one after I finished my restomod that had a drawing of the engine on the back of the shirt, and the car was on the front (they were sketches of a 73rRSR)

I can easily do variations and scale the sizes etc.
I actually have a sketch of a logo as well, which could go on the front. That could be fun.

With Christmas coming up I'll be talking to my wife about this website. I like the VW shirt on the home page (but don't see it in the catalog) and the Speedster shirt too.
I swore I would get rid of all my shirts with writing on them, but I like these shirts and the 911 shirt I got from Shaun.

Whatever you sell, never use the Porsche names or badge.
Looks great.

I'm probably in the minority in that I don't like large images emblazoned on the front of my shirts. I can occasionally tolerate them on the back, but even them I'm not much of a fan.

My other problem is that I'm (more than) a bit of a cheapskate. My t-shirt purchases are either of the varied-colors, plain-Jane variety that come six to a bag from Walmart or are found hanging on the 90% off clearance rack when the War Department drags me into Kohls.

Hi there,

I have a couple of speedsters that I did, and I also have a VW bug for Class11 that's in the air... Baja inspired when a buddy of mine was ran it...
Her are the links:

https://rennform.com/product/vintage-porsche-356-speedster-sketch-t-shirt/

https://rennform.com/product/mens-baja-class-11-beetle-tee/

Note, I have more VW drawings, just haven't had the time to put them up.

I tried some of the cheaper brands, but honestly I don't like them. I actually have an XL in blue with the Turbo side view, that I got for myself, but I don't like the way it feels and looks. Not sure what size you need, but I can give you a deal on that one if you're interested... LMK

Thank you. I am aware of the Porsche police regarding their trade mark.
I am not even mentioning Porsche in the description for that reason. I am hoping they are not going after the "numbers" like 911, 356 etc...

Nothing specific. Plenty of pics out there of great looking 986/996 . Some good looking 996 based race cars are from Alex Job , Kevin Buckler from the early 2000's . Also Flying Lizard .

I know you can't " copy " them but renditions could be done with no copy right infringement . Just thinking out loud , you do what you do .

3Ddesigns911 11-11-2024 09:45 AM

I'll check those out. Thx for the tips.
I also like some of the newest cars out there... IMO the 992 looks great

Love, love, love the Speedster art! One way or another I’m going to have one. Don’t like tee shirts with any kind of text on them - art — cool!

ErVikingo 11-11-2024 03:40 PM

is the website down?

I get a warning from AVG about being a "fake e-store"

3Ddesigns911 11-11-2024 09:55 PM

It shouldn't be down, and definitely not fake.

Oddly enough Avast is also warning me about it. I will investigate to see why that is. I might need to submit something for white listing it? If anybody has any advice pls LMK.

Either way, I uploaded a few water-cooled variety cars.
