UPDATE: this is a follow up to my March 1st post (you’ll note there are some comments from some readers from that day).
I’m ready to order posters. The original was almost 28″ tall by 22″ wide. I’ve decided to make the final version exactly 28″x22″ rather than my initial 18×24 size. The printing is being done by the same folks who printed all our Alaska Or Rust stuff. They do good work. I’ve already received a 18×24 proof and it looks great.
The per poster cost means I would need to charge $20 for each poster. One poster would be $20 plus $5 shipping. Two or more posters means free shipping in the continental US. How does that pricing sound? I plan to order 100 posters, so the supply will be limited. I will be selling them online and in person as I travel around in May and at the Willys Reunion in May.
Talk to Scott’s buddy in Cinci…he does excellent printing work.
When you start selling these Dave if you have room go to Walmart and get some inexpensive 5 dollar frames. Or make sure the finished product will fit into a standard size frame.
I hope that these copies will be available to purchase. I sure would like one.
Thanks
Scottie Ward
Once again Dave, thanks for working on our behalf.
Thanks for the editing work on the book Dave!!!

Hi Dave,
Can’t wait for the poster!
For printing, I’ll share I have had extremely good work done on multiple occassions from Gotprint. I have no skin in the game, so to speak. Just like their prices, quality and service.
Best,
John H from SC, formerly from CT
Bob: yep, they do good work. And, I could pick them up in May rather than pay to have them shipped. I did order another round of eWillys stickers through them.
Lew: Happy to do it.
Merlin: I hope all the text fits now!
Scottie: the number available will depend on the printing prices I can get, but I plan to make them available for folks.
Bob in NC: The reason I chose to alter the size slightly was to conform to a standard size. Walmart and others offer 18×24 frames starting at $10. They also offer 22×28 frames in case a person wanted to add a matte.
I am going to need a few of these whenever you get around to printing them.
Dave, my friends and I need some of these posters here in the northland. I’d like to purchase 10 or so whenever you begin selling them. Thanks!
Dave
Good morning.
I’ll take two please. And do you have a link somewhere where I can buy the exact frame I need?
Sold! I’ll take one. Great price!
I will take one.
Hey Dave , I will get in line for a couple please. Let me know how to square up with you. I will shoot you an email when I get home from work
Thanks much
Ted Jordan
Sign me up Dave! Are you going to be in the area for Paul’s open house at Willy America this year??
thanks, Matt-
Dave, I need ten posters. Let me know the shipping charge and I’ll get money headed your way. Thanks
Dave, I’ll take one ! and I would still like to see some sort of “All Willy’s” event here in our state too !! (I brought it up to you last year) I also need to talk to you about wagon / truck parts…. I have quite a list I am putting together and wonder if you have any contacts that are currently building one of these vehicles.. I am not going to ask the price that they list for on ebay, but I don’t want to sell to someone who is just going to turn around a sell at a higher price for profit instead of actually needing the parts..
I’ll take two of the posters, Dave. Please let me know when and where to send the money and I’ll get it to you.
Thanks
Pricing is fine and i would like to buy 2 if that’s ok.
Guys: your response is very helpful! Much appreciated. I will get the posters ordered today. It will take a couple weeks to get here. I will email each of you to let you know payment options. Thanks for your support! – Dave
Rick: I too would like to organize something “all Willys” for the PNW. With Alaska or Rust over and future books pushed off for the time being, I should have more time to consider options on how/where to organize it. Questions include location (westside or dry side of mtns, camping or suburb/motels, one afternoon or multiple days) then there is the type of event (show & shine and/or swap meet and/or scheduled drive or two into a city or into light trails). Should the event be a one location or should it rotate to different spots. Should it be free or will a fee be necessary (to pay for a location for example). So, plenty of things to consider.
Bob: I purposely added a little extra space around the entire poster to allow for framing. Michaels offers three types of inexpensive 22×28 frames: http://www.michaels.com/frames/poster-frames/809188414#prefn1=framedMattedSize&pmpt=qualifying&prefv1=22%20in%20x%2028%20in
Walmart offers at least one size: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Mainstays-22×28-Trendsetter-Poster-Picture-Frame-Black/14962483
Awesome Dave. Count me in for one.
Dave – Very nice job on the jeep poster ! If possible I would be interested in two – let me know how to pay you if your not sold out – thanks Dave
I’m in for two, please. Would see you at the reunion to pick them up.
I would love to purchase one from you! Just let me know how ! (Big John / The CJ2A page)
Dave, I would like 2, please let me know when you want payment.
I’m in for one also!
Thanks everyone. I will email you Friday.
– Dave
I will certainly reserve one too.
Dave, I’ll take 5, one for each garage. Just let me know when to send the $$.
Please reserve one for myself.
Sign me up for 5 of them.
I’m interested as well
