My bad. I just looked at the 66 kit and realized it doesn't have an engine compartment at all. Now it all makes sense.

Love this box art. -
Planning on doing almost this same thing, mostly. Looked through your last build and it was great! Will be following this one closely. Curious how different the 66 engine compartment is to the 67. Based on your work I assume you can't just put the 67 chassis under the 66 body without the engine compartment swap.

2024 Cannonball Run Restomods Build Thread

That would make sense. I just remembered I have a 67 I have sitting around just waiting for primer. Will test fit on that. Thanks for the heads up on what to look for. -

Makes sense. If I was able to actually maintain focus on one project I might not have 5 different ones in various stages of completion. -

Patience never being something I possess, I couldn't wait for my main model to show up before starting the engine. Hopefully the svt engine will slide right in to the 66 without issue. -

I agree on the 20"s. I don't get why aftermarket wheels always seem to be listed in 1/24 scale. When you get down to wheel and tire sizes the difference in scale is noticeable. Actual tire size seems to be an afterthought. But I'm just grumping... Still like the 20"s. -
Name that parts tree, what have I got?
Beans replied to Beans's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Bingo. That makes sense. Somewhere along the way i mixed this in with an uncompleted kit I was bashing. Thanks for the help!! -

I was going back and forth thinking about using this kit when you jumped in. After looking at the frame I was glad you made up my mind for me. I was not looking forward to the molded in detail removal. Will definitely be following your progress. Can't wait to see what you do. -

Ok I'm in. Took a bit to figure out what the build will be and my initial idea got snatched up so I will go with a 66 mustang hardtop. Should have the kit in the next couple of days. -
This. 100%.

At some point it is just going to have to come down to whoever leads this thing to make the decision on the boundaries of the build. If we leave it up to committee we will never have a solution as everyone will lobby for the rules that suite the build they have in their head. I'm just going to hang tight until it all shakes out and see what I come up with after that.

So this then. Seems the best description I have seen so far.

I have some misc. ones up here: https://cults3d.com/en/users/Joemama51/3d-models I haven't charged for anything yet. When I did the Supernatural Impala I didn't have a 3D printer yet and scratch built all the trunk stuff that I couldn't source somewhere. I am now in the process of creating STL files for the trunk box and then might move onto the actual trunk interior. Opening the trunk on that kit was not as easy as I thought it would be and it had to be build out a lot.

I like Bill's description most so far. Keeping things strictly bolt on really doesn't give much latitude for a build. It becomes a straight out of the box build. And kits that come with an engine that isn't factory stock to begin with would automatically be disqualified. I like the idea of being able to modify as Bill described while keeping the general overall appearance of the factory car. That limiter is the challenge and if someone wants to build OOB then have at it. Given the fact that it is the Cannonball, an entire field of 1930s and 1940s cars with all the bolt ons in the world would be easily beaten by a stock 2000 corvette. FWIW, IMHO and all that, the primary goal of the group build is to have a car that is potentially able to compete in a cross country race for time. Then secondly is the limiting factors of the theme. That is what sets this build apart from the general build a chevy type builds. The theme shouldn't be so limiting that it takes away from the primary objective.

All sounds good to me...scary to think that 20 years ago was still in the 2000s. ?

Beans replied to iamsuperdan's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
My favorite lately is hiding the word "box only" at the end of the long description. It is usually obvious by the price but the general misleading nature of the listing irks me.
