I had a 75 as my first car. I loved it. I had a friend with some automotive skills and we put some time and money into that Olds 350. It had a nice growl when we were done. I miss it. I'd love to find another.
Hey what a novel idea! A job! I don't recall Kevin ever mentioning he had one of those. That would pay for some postage wouldn't it?
I worked a part time job and was a full time student back in the day. You can't tell me in a city of 180,000 in south California, there's no jobs. Micky D's is always hiring.
Hmm........I'll have to kick this one around some. I'm leaning towards the 67 Charger that was built on Overhaulin for the SEMA show in 2005. the wheels might be a pain in the rear though.

Yeah, apparently it's for sale.
Kevin the tighter you make these rules the more people you are going to lose.
How about-
Build a replica of any car built by any famous hot rod builder, but you may not use a pre-existing kit of the show-car in question ala Ala Kart, Predicta etc.
Sound good?
So basicly what your saying is lets build a show car without buying a kit of one. Sounds do-able. Would cars built on Overhaulin' and Wrecks to Riches fit in this catagory too?

I do have plans for a vintage 60's/70's drag racer however, I only have kit supplied decals. If you retain this #3 rule people will have to make thier own decals to complete the build and not everyone has the ability to do so. I recommend that you change the rule so that any fictional car will do as long as it looks like a period correct car. If this can be changed, add my name to the roster.
I'm not trying to be a wise guy here, but Google images is you best bet. Try some of the aftermarket companies (advertising on this website) for fuel lines, pre-wired distrubutors, coolant hoses and the like to make your job easier.
A couple of shots of my first scratch built surf board. It's in white primer at the moment. I'm still kicking around some pattern ideas for them. I'm going to do a second one with a slightly different design and a bit longer. They were done with 2mm styrene sheet and 1mm sheet for the fin. For cutting them out of the thick styrene, tin snips are your best friend. I'm having a bit of issue with the hinged doors. The hinges work just fine, but the holes in the doors and body for the hinges are over large and will need some careful filling. More soon.
