Sam I Am

There is some great building going on, that's for sure. First posts, and I am building it as a 24hr build. Engine and wheels are assembled. Body is in the paint booth. Chassis plate is in the dehydrator.

That is sweet looking.

I am starting mine later this month.

I am in also. It is the one group build I seem to finish. I did get two done last year though. This one and the Cannonball.

Put me down for the AMT '66 Mercury

Nice to see any 1/8. I have the Jag, and just bought the new issue of the Firebird, but the original issue was a better one. I'll gladly take yours off your hands so I can combine it with mine. ?

Same here Tim

I saw this in person and the pics don't do it justice. Great job !

Last two pics are not showing up for me. I am waiting to see what your vision is going to be. I don't think you ever build anything box stock. ?

So what about 2023? ?

Oh my... I was just just getting ready to start a build...wouldn't be too hard to return the headlights, taillights, and license plates to my original idea. I also have a build that the body is the only thing touched. (Painted) I could do what I did with the Chevelle and tear down this old Mustang I have sitting around falling apart. Or break open a brand new kit...ANOTHER...brand new kit that is. It will take me six months just to figure out which one... ?

Great job, love the details. ?

Great execution and creativeness. You can bring any other entry across the finish line after they blow up.?

Great job ...and recovery.

Nice Mack!

Awesome detail on that Plymouth. Sorry, my Mustang never got off the ground. Due to health issues, I just couldn't get it started. I only built two models for the year, both community builds, I wanted this to be the third....

That is a beautiful color, and the wheels really set it off.

Looks like you won in the end. Some just don't want too get finished...hence the stack of unfinished builds in the stash. So who did you name it after....?

Thanks again everyone.

Thanks guys. Trying to clean up the bench....and the hot water heater just went on the fritz...?

Roger, here is the unfinished engine compartment. With the way I have been feeling this year, I just couldn't do everything under the hood that I wanted to. Eventually I will finish the firewall and install the radiator. I just love how it turned out otherwise. ? yes Bill, I started it in January but just couldn't get much done at a time. Thanks everyone, I really like how the overall package came together.

Unbelievable. I have pictures of a friend's E-type that has a 5.0 ford in it.

The pictures do not do it justice. I had the privilege to see this in person and it's unbelievable. The oil leak is the crowning touch.

I like it !

Here is my entry for this years Cannonball Run community build. The theme this year was a vehicle from the year of your birth. I started with an old built up that hadn't been painted. It was a challenge to take apart, but I managed to clean things up....or hide it. ? Revell kit, engine donated from a fellow builder, wheels from the parts box, exhaust and disc brakes from an AMT nascar kit. You can go here to see other finished builds....and a more detailed description of my entry. ?
