#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.

That reminds me of Condorman. I think this theme will be a lot of fun.

Thanks. Yes, they are the 23" tires. I haven't seen them around for a while, I wonder if they stopped making them.

A friend gave me the resin body and bumpers. I used an AMT '67 Impala for the interior glass and chassis. The wheels are from a Revell Escalade and the tires are from Pegesus.

You can build it however you want, that's the fun of modeling.

Don't want to.

Yes

I just got my '49 Caddy from J&J Resin. It's a transkit for the Foose Caddy. When I heard they were going to make a stock body for the Foose kit I was excited and now that I have it, my excitement was well founded. It's a clean casting with a few pin holes and normal clean up that you'd expect from any resin kit. It comes with the body, hood, front and rear bumpers, grill and tail lights. I have yet to test fit it with the Foose kit. Here's a link to their Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/J-and-j-resin-103120704483470/

That came out great! Nice job.

Nice collection, I'm only missing '74.

My entry is Tony P's Cadillac from "Mystery Men" where he reminds us that "disco is not dead, disco is life!" I used the Revell custom Cadillac lowrider with the diamond tuck interior from the Donks kit. I modified the suspension to sit higher and gave some positive camber to the front wheels to make it look like the hydrolics are locked up. I used a yellow sharpie over some of the chrome for a gold plated look. I modified the kit grill so I could use the hood ornament. I added a continental kit to the rear bumper and made license plates.

That's awesome! I love these kind of out of the box thinking builds.

The Cannonball record was recently broken by a solo driver (and has since been broken again by a team).

I've had this kit in my stash forever. It was in one of the old Wal-Mart only checker boxes. I printed the plates, other than that I built it right out of the box. I had trouble matching the color of the movie car, but I think I got it pretty close.
