Ten brand new rolls of film got delivered just a few hours ago via FedEx! I got seven rolls of 120mm film for the Holga and three rolls of 35mm. I'm planning on running at least one roll of the 35 through my Holga. The look is really interesting, but I'll only do it for a roll or two because I feel like it may take away from the look I'm trying to achieve.
The Holga shoots in a square format, as opposed to 35mm, which is a rectangular format. So, if you put a roll of 35 into your Holga (after some surgery), the photos you take will end up not only on the center part of the film (where your exposure ends up normally), but also around the sprocket holes at the top and bottom of the stip of film. If you want to set up your Holga to shoot 35mm, it's a very simple process and is easy to find on how-to sites.
Well, now that I have the film, all I need to do is wait for warmer weather so the guys can take their cars out of their garages. Hopefully that'll be in just a couple of weeks!

Film
I ordered the film on Thursday and it should be arriving tomorrow (Tuesday the 9th)! I'm really excited to start working with it, I'm really hoping it gives me the look I'm looking for.
For anyone interested, this is the website for the film: http://www.freestylephoto.biz/126512-Adox-CHS-50-Art-120-size?cat_id=403
I also got a few rolls of 35mm to run through my Canon AT-1: http://www.freestylephoto.biz/191365-Fotokemika-Efke-KB50-iso-50-35mm-x-36-exposure?cat_id=402
Luckily, I'm not planning on doing anything with the 35mm prints, so it's no big deal that they're made by a different company. I was really bummed when I saw that the Adox 35mm ISO 50 was out of stock, but apparently this Efke stuff has the same emulsion, so it should have the same look (in theory).
In the car department, my brother has a few connections through O'Reilly Auto Parts. I don't recall all of the vehicles he's told me about, but I know he's found a pair of 1970 Mustang MK Is, a '60s Mustang Shelby, some '30s roadsters, and maybe one or two others. Also, a buddy of mine from work knows a guy who has some nice '30s or '40s coupes. So, I should have plenty of vehicles to photograph, but I'll of course be happier with more subjects.
