Looking good. Most old trucks came with a black floor mat as far as I know. As for the seats most folks still driving an old truck with nasty seats would throw an old blanket over them. Maybe try something like this. This is a printed pattern on cloth. Check the quilting section in your local craft store for printable swatches.

Very slick work. I dig it.

Tremendous work! Great paint and execution. 1st place winners in any contest I've been to.

Guys, thanks very much for the ataboys. 2021 has been rough on the old homestead and things finally seem to be going our way. I've a new job that is better in every way possible, so I'm hoping to get more modeling done, as well as more done on the farm. Ya'll have a good New Year. Our best wishes to all.

I like the execution of the Viper kart - don't know if there would be anyone brave enough to hack a real Viper,
Patrick, I'm sure someone is doing it. During my research for the build, I came across a few adds for stripped down Vipers, for sale, that were suggesting that very thing.

With the power the Viper has, it's not a stretch to think there are many that were wrecked by drivers foolish enough to put their foot into one, without some sort of racing training or experience. I saw a hot rod show (Speed is the New Black?) that went to an engine shop that specialized in rebuilt Viper V10s. So the secondary market for used parts is strong I'm sure.

My wife and I caught Disney's Jungle Cruise last night. Another Disney World attraction brought to life if you will. Its a lot of "turn off your brain and just enjoy it" action, that probably would have worked better as a completely animated film.
It is entertaining, but don't expect any Oscars forthcoming. A fun story and good characters.

A terrific group. Well done.

Great stuff. I know what you mean about homesteading. I've never had less time for modeling than I do now and that includes my time in the service. I just need to get as much modeling as I can while there's snow on the ground.

The Olds has to be one of my favorite for the year. Everything about it just works so well. Ataboy.

Your paint work is nothing short of amazing. Great stuff.

Love them all.

It was nice to get two new builds and two long languishing builds finished.
1948 Ford hot rod. On this one, I added the independent suspension parts, exhaust and cross frame from the Monogram '37 Ford Coupe. It was actually quite easy. I recommend trying it if you are doing a resto-mod. A Ford stock car engine. I may end up taking this one apart again, to get the front just a tad lower and the stock car headers sit so low a speed bump would wipe them out.
1968 Corvette - this one was my Cannonball entry. It's the Lee Greenwood racer done as a barn find that has been mechanically restored and then raced in the CBR.
1937 Chevy - a fun build. Lots of mods. Engine from the Beretta pro-street. I did end up adding the door handles.
The Viper Kart - when I first started seeing the recent trend of Vette Karting, I knew I had to build one. However looking at my Corvette kits, I realized they didn't lend themselves to building a stripped down Corvette very well, but the Revell Viper kit, that was a different story. Lots of fun, lots of imagineering, and my first use of 3D printed parts. The injection intake is just the icing on the cake. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

This is the car I settled on for the build.
Interesting choice! Certainly a good kit.

Do we have a winner yet?
-
Wow. Dennis, ,that is some serious sanding. Good work on the print.

So after perusing some P2P racer photos, I've noticed that some racers have a very race inspired paint job, so I've done some rethinking, and I'm going to do a So-Cal inspired two tone.

And another bump.

You know what's been bugging me about this build? Whether to build the fresh and clean at the starting line racer or the mid race, kinda thrashed and filthy racer. The dirty version would be more realistic perhaps but that's the sort of thing I do a lot of. I'm quite torn to be honest.
