Check the Monogram pro-street Camaro's (various iterations) for the scoop. It's taller, but could likely get cut dwon to get you close. Also the Monogram 66 Malibu (black version only). Looks like a great project.

The ZZ Top '33 Ford kit keeps calling to me from the hobby shop shelf, and I'm thinking that next time it does so, it's going home with me. I'd really like to see what others have done with it, aside from a ZZ Top Eliminator coupe. It's a little challenging, being 1/24 but I think it's very do-able.

I did some baking soda in acrylic craft paints for rust and had some weird BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH grow out of it after a year or so. I use baby powder now.

Very very impressive. The parking brake is something I've very rarely seen added in a 1/25 scale model. Tremendous work.

I like this.

Due to my recent move to the northwest I'm very pleased to be able to attend this year, before they call it done. I agree it's a shame it's going away, but perhaps a new contest will pop up to fill the void.

That's a dynamite replica. Well done sir!

I think this is a really cool idea for a CBP. It might help drum up interest if you could lay out briefly what the build rules are for the different classes. This way you might pull in builders that already have a build started that fits the theme.

I dig it. Mine is still in the engineering stage.

Very nice. The first gens are my all time favorite. I like this a lot. I have something similar in mind using the Revell kit, but like so many other projects, has stalled.

Looking good!

Try any hobby store that has model railroad.

I've been surprised how popular they are. Adding these kits (and other sci-fi stuff) and the gear to build them has rescued a local, independant, Clearwater hobby shop from the edge of solvency. They are doing quite well now. My son builds them. I might give it a try here soon as well.

You never disappoint Wayne. Looking good.

Yeah. That's what I thought too. I'll give them a call again.

Anyone going to GSL in Salt Lake this May? I'd like to shake hands with you guys after so many years.

Anyone have the code needed to get the reduced room rate at the Sheraton for GSL? I've emailed Mark G. a few days ago but no reply yet, and I'd like to get my reservation finished.

I like it!

Neither is this engine. Small Block Chevy.

I bought the same kit and will build it the same way. When Grease came out that car made an impression on the 10 year old Rob. Very nicely done.

Before you try the shop vac, please read this. Listen, budget or no, don't halfass this. Odds are you will be venting flammable gasses so your safety is paramount. Stick a couple of bucks in a cookie jar every week until you have enough for a squirrel cage style exhaust fan. The motor is outide the air flow and is very safe in this application.

Very nice work Rich. I love the baby moons.

If I ever start building armor, I'm going to replace all the swastikas with angry face emojis.

I really enjoy unusual or at least, less popular forms of auto racing. I decided a while back to do at least one model of each of my favorite types of racer. So far I have done a drift car and a La Carrrera Panamericana racer, and now the P2P racer. Some of my other plans are land speed (salt flats), banger racing, baja, hill climb (Pikes Peak), historical rally, auto-cross (pro-touring), and even the 24hrs of LeMons. Undoubtedly I will add more as they peak my interest. My thought here as I plan, is that maybe there is sufficient interest in these other racing cars that we could continue this CBP as a racing series, much as I have with the Cannonball Run CBP, which started its 12th year now. We could perhaps throw out some ideas for our theme after this build off wraps, then vote on them and continue. But only if there is sufficient interest. I'm gonna build these racers. Eventually. Ya'll are welcome to join in. Let me know whatcha think.
