Welcome to Sport Truck's very first do-it-yourself calendar, where we put your mechanical skills to work. Now, we wouldn't send you out to do any work without doing some ourselves, so check out the pics on what we did to build our own garage calendar mobile.You can either use the same ultra-professional techniques we did, or let your mind get crazy and design your own version. You might be thinking, "How come we have to do the work?" Well, basically because we're cheap and lazy.

6.Here's one option: Buy two mags and stick them to the wall with some high-dollar wall-affixing adhesive. Since it broke most of the time, we had to go with the tried-and-true duct tape.

7.If you don't want to spring for two mags, you'll have to make it so both sides of the page are visible. We constructed our own version of a redneck mobile to do just that. We sacrificed a few old wrenches and some leftover speaker wire to keep with the whole garage theme.
