Knocked it out of the ball park! Very nice build!

Wow! It came out great!

OK, this is thread just needs to be shut down. This guy is going full blown pie in the sky with this. Only model geeks and old guys remember that car and most just don't care. Most of the attraction to this kit now is for how rare it has become and not due to fond memories of it. I never had one and was not even born when it was built! I just want one for the sheer curiousity of it! So, if anyone wants to sponsor me to go to Hawaii and surf, start sending me money!

I think the question is, will all the Model King issues be eventually re-issued by Round 2, right?

Someone asked about bikes in small scale, not what we prefer.

Like this?

Then simple, not enough are showing up to justify a class for them

Putting on a show is not rocket science, it is mostly logistics. You have to able to adjust on the fly as things never quite work out the way you plan them, most of the time. Always plan for crazy and be happy with semi-normal Cost of shows is always there and if you are going to get in financial trouble, then don't have a show. Most of our sponsors don't really care what category their money is used on, most just want to contribute and have their name mentioned when the awards are presented. Most of the time when sponsors ask for specific categories we give them out on a first come first serve basis and they know they may not get them unless arrangements have been made in advance. Yes, we have had to combine categories and sometimes we even split them due to the a high number of entries or lack of entries. No one has complained about it to this day.

That is pretty cool!

Looks cool, but I have a problem here, WE NEED MORE PICS!

Fremont Racing Specialties, mmmhhh, same as Joe Curtis?

Very nicely done! Great detail on a very cool kit

I like it!

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to bring up E.J. Potter

Looks very period correct! Nice job!

I wish Revell would bring back those Drag Bikes, I really want one! Or two, or three........

Very nice! Great way to show the potential of that kit!

Hearing it in person was pretty cool since he could add more "color" commentary to it!

Some quick search around here will yield most of the stories about Auroras train wreck and existing tools. Bottome line, I highly doubt that Aurora will come back as most of its niche market items have been brought back by other companies, either as repaired existing tooling or new tools. Put a fork in this one, folks, it is done!

I only want one because it is a show rod. Otherwise, not really that cool to me

I had that Spit a long time ago! Along with the SBD!! Cool kits!

Most shows should have an "Import" section that is all encompassing regardless of the style or country of origin for "Street" style vehicles. Competition has their own classes where they can go if they qualify for it. Most of the time they get shoved into Street Machine or Curbside Plus, due to the fact that most of import kits do not have engines and sometimes no real suspension. And we try to have judges who are aware of such cars to judge them to be as fair as possible. Some have complained that they did not place because they where import cars and that Muscle Car types judged them. Well, most of them don't place because they are not well built. It is a harsh fact,but, skills do count, regardless of the type of build. And on the flip side of that, we had a guy with a Camaro that cried bloody murder because a "foreign piece of you know what" placed and his Camaro did not. Well, his car was not very well built and just the fact that a well built Skyline GTR beat him was enough for him to swear us off. I hope that the import crowd can really get to building them proper and start filling the tables, would be cool to see. Once the low riders guys where the black sheep on the table, some had not yet developed the skills to make them show stoppers, but, that has changed pretty good over the years. Bring one, bring them all!
