The proposed rules and entry lists were on separate threads. That's my fault. That's why I put them together now. Besides, a lot of resin engines, both halves are already together.

Repstock Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I've been looking for a reason to finish this..I will be using kit parts for engine and frame. Does the cab have to be from a kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also found it quite interesting that in this Round 2 re-release of the kit, none of the part numbers on the parts trees match the part numbers on the instructions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the cab have to be from a kit? The build doesn't have to be from a kit, it can be scratch built. You have a lot done, but if you were to cast it in resin it would amount to the same starting point for someone else using the resin conversion. I don't have a problem unless someone else does, so I'll put you down. The main reason for rule #5 is keep anyone from having a big head start. The way I see it, you are starting with a cab conversion that you've mastered. However, If anyone who is entered into this contest has a problem with this entry, please send me a private message and we'll discuss it further. I want to try to make everyone feel like they're being treated fairly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbill Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 (edited) I myself don’t see it as an issue, nor do I think anyone else will, I think we are all on the same page, it’s fun and we get a little online comarraderie (sp? glad auto correct doesn’t work when you really need it, lol) from being in the build off. I’m more concerned with some of us finishing....., that’s more for making fun of myself, as I get distracted easily....... pretty sure jeff ( gotnitro) will see something shiny and be off on a tangent, lol......, just kidding buddy?

I don't think anyone will have a problem and I am personally looking forward to seeing this one completed. Old square cabovers are my favorite.

Thx -- it's not a big deal. You don't really need the part numbers to identify the parts. I just found it strange that they couldn't get the "basics" correct in the instructions for a kit that has been around forever. I built this same kit 40 years ago when i was a teenager.

I agree with tbill re: " I’m more concerned with some of us finishing..." -- Hopefully with some encouragement from the group I'll actually FINISH one this go-around. That alone would be a huge win for me ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRIPTROIT 71 Posted January 11, 2019 Author Share Posted January 11, 2019 Okay everyone, so far we have 14 entries. Thanks to everyone who have entered so far. Don't forget, the contest doesn't start until Feb 1, so no actual building until then. Make sure to have a thread started by then though. I've spoke with Dave at A.I.T.M. and we will have a $25 credit with him for the winner of this contest! I'm looking forward to some great builds!!
