Build any model that you think is a really good kit, that for the most part gets ignored. build it any way you want, and have fun.

How's that for a rule?

If all rules were like this, the world would be such a nice place.

[Greg Cullinan]

Yes my kind of rules. I had to send a draft of the demo derby cb rules to my lawyer to look over!

[Jantrix]

Sounds good to me. However can we stretch the due date until say - April? Real life has a way of back burnering my hobbies.

[Len Geisler]

Hmmm...now the problem to decide which kit to build....LOL....

April sounds good to me.

[highway]

April sounds good to me.

That sounds better for me, too!

[midnightprowler]

Yeah, that is what I'm talking about. Those are good kits and I have yet to see one built.

Iposted a finished one earlier this year in the under glass section, AMT's ragtop version of the kit.

[Jordan White]

What about the Revell Dodge Ramcharger that was part of the old Gone Fishing kit?

[brett]

I've got the lindberg 67 442 and the revell 55 vert. This might give me the motovation to build them,I've done the vert a few years ago, must take some decent pics of it.

Yeah I've been following along, and it looks awesome! I built up the whole kit already, but I've been wanting to rebuild the Ramcharger to go with another couple builds of mine.

[Rick Schmidt]

[Michigan Madman]

AMT S/10 GMS Sonoma, Blazer $ Jimmy Kits
AMT 97 Ford Explorer
AMT 67 Impala SS
Revell 67 Corvette Coupe and Roadster
Monogram 1964 GTO
Revell 1966 GTO
Revell Shelby Series one
Revell 1955 Chevy Convertible

Forgotten? I've got at least one each of those in my stash! (Well, except the Revell '55 Chevy Convert and the '67 Vettes.)

Want some forgotten kits? I've got a few!


Renwal '66 Packard


Heller Citroen Trefle


Heller Renault Vivastella

Or, my favorite of the bunch...

Esci's Ford Transit

Of the above, probably only the Transit has any shot at being finished by the end of '10 because it's a pretty simple curbside, but who knows? Maybe I'll jump in on this one.

[Dave]

I'm in, this should be fun, I think I've got a Series One laying around, have built that one before but have always wanted to do it again.

[Scott H.]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the 70's Dusters (street or stock) or the mis labled Dodge Dart kits. Even when they were new I only saw a few built. I saw quite of few started, but only a few finished.

You know, that just reminded me of another AMT Mopar, and quite possibly my entry in this build, the 70 Coronet Super Bee Pro Street kit. I think that was a nice kit that was quite popular, but has anyone ever really seen it built the way it was intended? I'm sure most were parted out either for the Hemi or the back halves, or both. Mine sure were! I know before I lost my first collection in a house fire in 1997, I had at least 3 or 4 of them that were all raided for parts. I currently have 5 of them on the shelf now, and one still sealed just so I wouldn't be tempted to steal parts from it!

Nice builds, Brett.

[brett]

Nice builds, Brett.

Thanks Matt. I've got two more to build, one as a pretty much stock coronet (will swap chassis with a 68 roadrunner) and the other as a pro st but not coming thru the hood.....maybe lol.

Has April 2011 been decided on for the deadline? If so, I'm in. I have at least 30 plus models that would qualify, but one in particular that I have been wanting to do.
