Ok guys, here is my first take on some "cheap to make, but professional looking" display stands for Small Ford Sunday. Use your imagination as I didn't bolt it together properly.
The idea is that everyone prepares a "fact sheet" about their cars, and this slips into the perspex holder which is then mounted on the post which sticks in the ground. Simple to make ( I am happy to make enough for everyone) You mount the perspex by gluing a small piece of timber (with hole drilled through it) to the back with superglue. A hole is drilled towrads the top of the stake. A bolt is then slipped through the stake and through the timber piece to join them together, and allows for adjustment of the angle Garden stake (Recycled plastic) $2.50 Wing nut, bolt and spring washer a few cents Small square of timber a few cents each A3 perspex holder too expensive! Imagine this standing up straight! The perspex holders are about $25 each from Officeworks and therefore too expensive IMHO. If people like the idea, can you keep your eyes out for a cheaper source?? If we can do this, then the Euroford display would look very together and very slick. Not just a line of cars. My view is that people like to be able to read something about the car. If we all had them, then I think it would give the club a much more unified display Anyway, let's open this up for discussion

Perspex itself is very cheap
Perhaps cut a sheet into A3 size shapes, sandwich 2 pieces of it together, and put some nice chrome allen key bolts in each corner to hold it together.

Sounds good. Anyone in a position to cut perspex?
I did find these on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/UNDERSIZE-A3-...QQcmdZViewItem Would end up making the whole unit about $15 each. Are people willing to contibute that amount? Plus how many people are we expecting at SFS??

Chris D should have it now in the highest res that I had. In fact, MISTA FIESTA should have it too as he was using it to get the stickers made up. Due to a recent format and my back-ups being here there and everywhere, I will look for it but unsure how long it will take me.

OK. Success!!!!
Found A3 clip and glass frames at Big W for $6.28 each. Which means with garden stake $2.90, timber, bolts, frame, and glue, I can knock these up for $10 each. Are people happy to pay this? (Yes I hear you cry!) Adam, how many should I make do you reckon? 16?

ps. Adam, I assume Sam is printing the signs to A3???
And with these frames you won't need to laminate. Are people getting their details and photos to you?

I reckon they are better at A3 Adam. If Sam wants to send me the files I can print them at A3.
I think A4 ends up a bit small
