tbill Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 (edited) ok fellas, let's get this going! "I" want to run this like a contest, but with no real prize at the end, just for fun, and maybe if you guys treat it like a contest it will keep you motivated to keep building. so, having said that, the rules, 1. must have fun 2 monthly update 3 build whatever ya want, mild to wild, snappers included, clean, dirty, primer, shiny, who cares, make it fun so you want to keep building it. I guess we can start January 1 and run untill December 31 of 2017, so if interested, sign up, and I will edit this to reflect who's in and what they are building. I will also see if i can get this 'pinned' so we can find it if this takes off. gentlemen, to your benches ok, here is the list so far, if you had your build listed, it's by your name, if you had a couple choices, i left it open for now, pm me when decided, and i will update this list. tbill KW wrecker gotnitro?

Jim B Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 (edited) Oh, I'll throw my hat in the ring (so to speak) with the AMT Chevrolet Bison.Will we be posting out WIP photos here, or should we start individual threads in the "On the Workbench: Big Rigs" section with a title like "2017 TAT - 1978 Chevrolet Bison"? Just a thought. Edited December 17, 2016 by Jim B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steel_tiger1 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 (edited) Can i use my Freightliner FLC I have started on? I have the frame assembled. And at the pace I model probably won't finish it in year anyway. I can't start my wife's dump truck until I get this finished anyway.

tbill Posted December 18, 2016 Author Share Posted December 18, 2016 i guess if the frame is the only thing done it'd be ok. i'm going to wait untill just after Christmas to see who all is willing to hop into this, then will make the 'official' list. stay tuned..........

Canso65 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Even though I didn't finish last years build off I sure had a good time being involved. Count me in as well. I'll have to look through what I have here and decide what to built. TAT sounds good to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbill Posted December 23, 2016 Author Share Posted December 23, 2016 cool, looks like we have 15 or 16 so far, next week i will edit this and try to get it pinned. i am going to do a KW wrecker. can't wait to kick this off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny900 Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 I'd definitely like to be involved, I'd like to try making an international pro star into a Cat ct630. If I can get my hands on a prostar kit, and the money for it. I loved watching the BRBO builds, it was awesome to see so much creativity!
