TimJ Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 After failing to finish last year I'm determined to make the start line this time with a '70 Mustang Boss 429. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zenrat Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 (edited) Ummmm, no Zen......you're thinking in Oz terms again. You do know Tex Smith now lives (at least part of the year) down here now? So it was sort of relevant. Nice mix of cars. I like it better when we have a theme. Helps me decide.

64SS350 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Well I'm going to commit with a 1970 Olds Cutlass Ralley 350. I was going to do a 78 Firebird, but since there is going to be a 77 in the race, I will scratch that and maybe enter a second entry, if time allows, later.

Jordan 191 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 (edited) It will look awkward next to all these muscle cars, but I'm going to attempt to field a Porsche 924 Turbo (first offered in 1978). This kit only has about 8 parts, so I'll have to add something to it, like an engine: Edit: I looked in a Porsche book that I have, and its says that the 924 Turbo was first sold in the U.S. in 1979, so I'll register my entry as a 1979 Porsche 924 Turbo. State of the art for the year! Edited December 27, 2013 by Jordan 191 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominik Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 (edited) Hi Nick, i am in, think about a Mustang, Charger or something classic...just must take a look in my stash. One thing, i did not understood: is new drivetrain allowed, only car must be younger than 1979? Edited December 27, 2013 by Dominik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunajammer Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 One thing, i did not understood: is new drivetrain allowed, only car must be younger than 1979? I was kind of wondering too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantrix Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 The car body must be 1979 or older. However you may use any part/assembly from anything regardless of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zenrat Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 The car body must be 1979 or older. However you may use any part/assembly from anything regardless of year. Which will save us having arguments about "when those wheels were introduced" or "the X23 Big Block didn't have the underhand flange monkey grubbler valve blades until 1981". I'm using a 1991 chassis and the biggest engine I can fit in the available space without cutting the bonnet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, when I did my 1981 themed build, that was a bit a pain in the butt. A lot of research was involved on the part of the builder. Particularly when it came to wheels. But, there is nothing wrong either, with challenging the builder to learn about automotive history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBan91 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I'd like to get in on this one with a 69 Nova SS. I've been away for about a year so hopefully this will be the kick I need to get back in full swing of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunajammer Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Might as well start now Tim. By my clock, you and anyone else east of the Atlantic are approved to start. August, Nice choice, looking forward to seeing this built. Pretty big for 1/24, maybe look for parts in 1/20 and see how it looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
