Looks great! I can still hear the song...that name again is Mr. Plow...

I do the tape thing as well but use electrical tape.

I've done the same at Rob and printed some out on cardstock then clear coated them with nail polish topcoat. They looked OK but I feel your pain on trying to find some. Sometimes google will get you an image of a livery or work from.

I'm in. I have 2 or 3 Ford builds I have been thinking about for a while. Probably about time I commit to the experimental LID mustang I have been putting off.

Awesome job!! Congratulations

The theme is usually defined with enough detail that more rules aren't necessary. Take a look back at some of the starting posts for the other cannonball group builds and you can get a feel for the guidelines.

The details may need to be hashed out some but either way, I'm all for it. Funny thing is, growing up in the 80s, my friends and I all had late 60s and 70s cars. The rich kids all had the newer cars and Toyota pickups.

To my thinking, this pretty much sums it up. Radwood itself is pretty much about cars from 1980-1999. Stock or otherwise, with the owners dressing the part at events. For our purposes I would think it would mean the base of the build had to be a car built between those dates but could have modernized components. The detail and paint scheme should replicate a style from those decades somewhat. This is my non expert opinion anyway.

OK, I am starting to really like the Radwood idea! The Magnum PI theme keeps bouncing around in my head.

One I did a while ago.

This year was a glue bomb redemption build. Redemption for the horrible mess someone made of this poor model as well as for me finishing last year but never posting and missing the finish. I started with the busted up mess of a Pontiac firebird formula. No engine, no glass, and three wheels. A Ferrari California provided the engine, trans axle and rear suspension. The rear seats were removed and rear frame modified to also include an auxiliary fuel tank . The dual electric fans from the Ferrari also made their way under the hood, which was modified for fitment. The passenger seat was removed to make room for a arm to hold a tablet, police scanner, and IR camera screen. Also some snacks and monster energy drinks. A three point harness was added to the driver's seat. Other mods include, custom spoiler, widened fenders, all new homemade glass with rear carbon fiber panels, custom mirrors, driving lights, and the brakes wheels and tires from the Ferrari....oh and the vanity plate. Thanks for looking. This was overall a challenging but fun build. Not the cleanest or nicest I have ever done but it was a lot of fun.

Will add more to the completed thread but this one is done.

Some cool ideas floating around. One I have been wanting is Wagons/Hatchbacks.

Nice to see somebody else using the advanced clamping system of whatever is heavy and on the bench.

Pretty much straight out of the box, just painted and weathered.

Looks great!! Especially love the whole shop set up. Awesome details and great photos.

It is easier to find a promo than a kit (if you have to have one). Sometimes one pops up at a decent price. That said, I have been looking for a 68 for a long time but I am cheap.

Sooooo close to done....still have some minor touchups and engine detail to do but was too nice a day not to get some pictures.

Had a paint mess up that caused me to put a pause on this one for a bit but finally got some paint on it.

Thanks all. This is probably the most under rated AMT kit. I think it went together easier than almost any other AMT kit I have built in a year or so.

I really liked this kit. Maybe because I was coming off of a 70.5 Camaro build that plagued my sanity, but this kit gave me very little issues or fight and went together well. Pretty much straight out of the box on this one. I did replace the wheels with the ones from the 70.5 camaro. I had to sand the bowties off the center caps. Painted with Duplicolor (for possibly the last time -----leaky can mess). The Eliminator side stripe proved to be a problem and I ended up ripping them all to heck and giving up on the decals. That may have been user error but it seemed they fell apart really easily. The side mirrors were not put on because I had put them in the box of another kit and couldn't find them. I will probably paint them up some day and add them. I have yet to master the ability to only black out the recesses in the grill and trying to chrome the very tiny ridges in the tail lights was difficult, but otherwise I am pretty happy with this one.

I only have four going at one time and really no system. In fact I just recently got parts mixed up and had to dig through all my started kits to find parts for one that I didn't put back in the correct box.

Going a little overboard on the interior this time around... Added: 4 point seatbelt, cell phone, tablet stand and tablet, police scanner, infrared camera display, drinks, snacks and duffle, and had to scratch up a new e-brake handle and shifter. Still finishing the deleted rear seat and auxillary fuel tank.

Can't wait to see this one all done up. I have yet to master 3d printing.

Awesome build!! So much attention to detail. Brings me back to highschool in the 80's and my 70 nova. License plate gas tank is my favorite.
