It doesn't look like there's going to be any good painting weather any time soon, so I thought I'd get back on this one. I got the rear frame rails bent and boxed in. It was my first time bending styrene with heat, hopefully I'll do better next time. I think I'm just going to raise the whole bed floor, I think a wood bed floor will look good with what I have in mind. I cut the lip off the rear of the bed floor, I'm going to have to extend it anyway and it'll be easier to make it out of one piece and it'll be easier to paint. More next time.

Thanks. The wheels on the '68 are from the Revell Escalade with Pegasus tires.

Sorry, that's the only way I know how to get one.

I built this from the Revell kit. I lowered the suspension over eBay wheels and Pegesus tires. I modified the continental kit from a '55 and skirts from a '57. I used Duplicolor paint. Everything else came out of the box.

I got it from Blvd. Resin on Facebook.

It's 1/25 scale.

I built this Airstream from a slush cast shell. I cut the windows out and added clear plastic for glass with curtains behind them to add some depth. The wheels are just glued to the inside and I scratch built the air bagged tounge.

#3 I got the dash installed. Once the body is on it'll push the cage down and look like it goes through the dash. I also installed 2 fuel cells where the back seat would be.2 more fuel cells would fit in the trunk for a total of 64 extra gallons of fuel capacity. With the interior otherwise complete I went ahead and put on the door panels. It's going to be a couple months before the weather is good enough for painting, so I might not have another update for a while.

There is some pretty impressive fabrication going on in here. #3 I chose some bucket seats from my parts box to replace the single racing seat. They're going to be a lot more comfortable on a long haul and it's easier to fit a second person in the car if there's a second seat. I also mounted the rear view mirror and a CB to the roll cage, both good for spotting cops. The kit came with a pod that covered the gauges and I didn't care for it, so I left it off and used a cluster decal from a GTR. I mounted the steering wheel and column. I also mounted a platform for a laptop, a police scanner and a GPS.

I'm really enjoying seeing everyone's progress. I feel like most of these cars would get by the cops because no one would believe it when they called in that car doing 150mph. #3 The muffler on the Accord is big and very noticeable, I'm considering changing it out for something more streetable. I put in the roll cage so I could start on the interior. And I added some supports to add some rigidity back after I cut out so much of the cage.

#3 I wanted to paint the wheels a neutral color that wouldn't stand out so I chose a dark gray primer and I clear coated them. I really like how they turned out, I'm going to have to remember that color for future projects. I got the wheels and tires installed. You can see how low this thing sits. I have an idea that might help it not appear so low. I think it looks good flat black, too bad I have other plans for it.

I like your build so far. I also built mine with no bumpers and assembled the chassis like you're doing. I'm excited to see yours completed.

It's a cool little kit, I'm excited to see what you do with it.

#3 I decided too keep the suspension as is, I don't think I'd be able to re-re-engineer it, besides, it just looks cool. Even though this is a curb side kit, it still has some engine detail underneath. I also got the exhaust and radiators/vents installed.

You can build that Ram Blur in about 10 minutes.

This is a great theme for this year's run. I'm really enjoying seeing what everyone is building and all the modifications being made. #3 I got the chassis painted with the silver I'll be using on the body. And I got the floor pan painted black. I thought a black interior would help make any modifications or countermeasures less noticeable. I also got the brakes painted. The brakes on this thing are huge! This car sits very low. I'd like to lift the suspension a few scale inches, but I'm not sure if I will. The suspension isn't just lowered, it's completely re-engineered to sit that low.

#3 The roll cage in the Accord is substantial and very noticeable from the outside. I didn't want to eliminate it completely for safety sake, but I did cut it down in hopes that it won't draw as much attention. Much better I'll add some cross bracing once I've decided exactly where the seats will be.

#3 I got started on mine. I decided I'd paint it silver, I figured nobody is going to pay attention to a silver Accord. I won't be using the spoiler, I thought it would draw too much attention, so I filled in the holes. I found some street tires that fit the kit wheel and I grabbed some extra fuel cells out of my parts box to minimize fuel stops.

Happy New Year everyone! These are the builds I managed to complete durring 2020.

That's really cool! I remember seeing one or these 20-25 years ago and thinking the owner had put a different year bed on for wheel clearance.

Nice! I love Cadillacs and would consider getting just one built a good year.

I would like to enter with this Accord kit. I bought it years ago with the intention of making it a street car, so this year's Cannonball was a great excuse to pull it out of my stash. This car is perfect for Cannonball, nobody is going to be looking at a Honda Accord.

Thanks. My first car was a '72 DeVille. I'm hoping to have a replica of it someday, but until then, this '76 will tide me over.

I got this kit from Modelhaus when they first announced that they would be closing. I kept it in my stash all this time because I couldn't decide on a color. I decided on this blue after painting another kit the same color. I used Pegesus wheels and tires, lowered it and added a continental kit.

That came out great. The color suits the car well.
