A.R.C. Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Thats a bummer to hear Rob. I always look forward to see what kind of heap you roll up to the line in. You can hang with me and throw rocks at the others if you want...I`ll stock up the cooler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knarf Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 oh nutz! i was looking forward to seein that HEMI spyder too...woulda been sweet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFchronos Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Man that's sad to hear Rob, I was looking forward to seeing the Hemi spyder as well, but it's understandable. On a side note, I don't know about anyone else but come race day I'm avoiding anyone with a cooler close by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zenrat Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Cooler? I'm half way through scratchbuilding a fridge. Sorry you're out Rob but you were never going to beat me anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantrix Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) oh nutz! i was looking forward to seein that HEMI spyder too...woulda been sweet Oh it IS going to be completed, just not soon. It's too cool an idea to let it die. Sorry you're out Rob but you were never going to beat me anyway... You're probably right. So I had taken steps to insure you wouldn't show up on race day. But..........now that I'm out, I guess I can call off Vinny and Guido. Edited October 15, 2013 by Jantrix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Winter Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 Guys, I'm going to officially throw in the towel here. I just have very little interest in the project right now and it's 100% attributed to the quality of the kit and the work it will take to get it to my satisfaction. I wish everyone luck and look forward to seeing the field on race day. Sorry to hear that Rob, Hopefully next year! Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtisEBear Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Decaled and will put some clear on tomorrow pic when dry. Sorry to hear that rob but your Daytona wasnt going to catch my warbird anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunajammer Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 As long as we're breaking bad news, it seems unlikely the Cormaro will make it to the line. My elderly mother passed away this week, my GF is holding bedside vigil for her dying mom and it's just one of those times where the hobby is barely a blip on my radar. Have fun everyone, I'll be back later for the vote (and a truck of river rocks). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimJ Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Sorry to hear that Mike, my thoughts are with you. There's some great work going on here guys. Sadly I can't say the same about my Mercedes as I haven't got much done to it so far. I have got some paint on the bodyshell though. Looking at the Mercedes website I thought the Sepang Brown would make a change from the usual red or silver so I've given it a couple of coats of Ford Roman Bronze automotive paint which looks a close match. It might not make it to the start but I'll carry on and see how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Minarick Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Got some painting done and I'm ready to start putting it all together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.R.C. Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Sorry for your loss Mike. I`ve still got my parents but have lost siblings in the recent past and know how much it guts you. For me what worked was to take a bit of time to clear my head and then get back into the things I enjoy doing. Remember the 62 Bel-Air Cannonballer I built? It was the first model I built after losing my brother. He used to have one so it was a perfect way to honor him and helped me out a lot. Bring all the rocks you can, the coolers on me.

Janthlie Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 i have started to get some paint on the interior of the car And at the insane speed I am going to run by, I also need to fit some rear diffusors to the car. It needs some adjustments, but I am almost ready to put some primer on it to see where it needs more attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wkennerley Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 (edited) Hi All, I am new to this forum, mostly model 1/32 but I have done a few 1/43 and 1/24 - 1/25 - I take it this CBP can be any scale? If so I will enter with a Heller 1/43 Mercedes 450 rallye car, as it already has Rallye stickers its a start to getting it looking like a cannonball car - Also I should be able to get it finished by Dec 1st - If Ok to enter let me know please Thanks Wayne Pic of kit Edited October 27, 2013 by wkennerley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DriftingRookie Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Came across a delima, as I was going through my spare parts I found some other rims I forgot I had, maybe you can help me out and give me some feed back on what rims to use. Rim choice #1 Rim choice #2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFchronos Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 That is a dilemma, both sets look good on the car. I'm leaning towards number 1 but it's real close, either choice is a winner in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hvymtl Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Just stock up on Fix-A-Flat with ya for that run cross country.... Either set looks killer on an old chev Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
