John, Just absolutely wild. Fabulous paint job. bobthehobbyguy

Nice job Hard to believe that this was a glue bomb. Really like this car but I won't pay the silly prices, Sure wish they would reissue they would sell a bunch. Bobthehobbyguy

Ira, Looking good. Is this going to front or rear engine? What engine are you planning to do? bobthehobbyguy

Nameless National Luminaries. It was coined from comments that Mark Gustavson made when the first GSL didn't get attended. Not sure of the origin of it being a display versus a contest though. bobthehobbyguy

Ira, You could make one with epoxy putty if you can't find 1. bothehobbyguy

Ira, Reminds me of the old video game pacman characters before you put the helmet on. However he's got a mean look on his face. Looking forward to seeing what you do with this one. bobthehobbyguy

Wow this is a great thread. Just love those old gassers. bobthehobbyguy

maltsr Nice job on the Sox and Martin barracuda, bobthehobbyguy

I'm interested. When is the deadline for this. bobthehobbyguy

Cranky, Have you stated yet? Curious to do see what you with a mini cooper. bobthehobbyguy

I think I might do a box stock. I thought of doing an modified kit but I am unsure as to what modifications would be allowed and still be able to fit the muscle car theme. bobthehobbyguy

Looks good. Any thoughts on what color you are going to paint it? Bobthehobbyguy

As far was when to glue. The best is to assemble all of the parts that are the same color or parts that have seams but don't have those seams on the real part. For example and engine block and the heads. I use Alene's Tacky glue for test assembly. Also I'd suggest that when you have assembles that have to be glued after painting to mask the area. Say a hole for a locating pin. I use a little bit of white glue to do this. After the paint is dry you can use the tip of an knife blade to remove it. This also reduces having to handle the parts too much after they have been painted. Hope this helps. bobthehobbyguy

Dann, Very nice job on your Corvette. To me the whole point of the box stock class is to allow all to compete on a level playing field. You can only what is in the box , paint and glue and sometime bare metal foil. It comes down to how well you can paint and assemble the model. Doing a very clean build of a box stock model can be a real test of one's skills. bobthehobbyguy

Thanks to all for all of the feedback. I feel that was question has been answered. bobthehobbyguy

Thanks for all of the feedback. The reason why I am asking is the gearz model contest the theme is muscle cars. However on of the kits in the list has a blower sticking out of the hood which is why I've asked the question. Thanks again. Bobthehobbyguy

Chris, Great to meet you at the show. Your model is outstanding. Your dragster was very nice along with the other models you brought. Can't wait to see more. bobthehobbyguy

I am curious to know what the difference between a muscle car and a street machine. What are you thoughts? Thanks, Bobthehobbyguy

Ira it was great to see this model in person. I am impressed with how far you have gotten with this. Looking forward to seeing it finished. bobthehobbyguy

Thanks for posting your pictures. I just got back from the event myself and it was great as always. You are right about how much work it is making everything work. When I lived in Santa Clara I was involved with helping with the event. We were told by the convention center that they were very impressed with how organized we were running the event. Given that they dealt with events that were run by people that it was there living to do shows made us feel very good. Not bad considering this was an alll volunteer group. bobthehobby
