Congratulations guys great work, going to be tough to vote again,! The thing i like about this community build is that everyone builds something different from each other. I didn't get far this year I'm planning on finishing the javelin for the nnl north in may. I'm hoping for a better performance in 2018 cannonball.

Great work guys, I'm going to get back on the javelin. There is still a lot of work to be done, a quick picture of the interior is where I left off.

Got a little more accomplished before I head back to work, the ride height is about set and the engine/drivetrain is in. It's just taped together for now, I was pretty nervous and glad to see the height fit under the hood and engine didn't sit in the interior. Now the hard part, interior work on my next days off

Thank you for catching that, I went back and checked it this morning. I think what happened in picture the chassis was not straight in the body, plus that control arm is bent forward when the metal axle is in place it seems to straight out. Or at least the wheels seem to fit.

Great work guys, I'm excited to see these builds moving along. I'm just posting some small updates pics for this month. Decided against using the stock chassis since this is more of a pro touring build, started modify a zr1 c6 chassis.

That car looks so sinister, the black on red is classic. Plus I love the stripped down interior great detail work.

Absolutely amazing work, love that style of build. Looking forward to more.

Just had to chime in, great work as I cannot believe this is a 29 ford. Coach building at its finest. Thank you for sharing this build, so enjoyable to follow along.

On a personal choice I would pick the 71-74 javelin/amx, but the 1970 javelin actually makes sense. With at least 5 different option packages so reissues could be done like revell's 69 camaro. The engines were externally the same, so retooling less parts. Most reissues would need hood,spoiler, and decal changes.

Love the way it looking, I also need more pics.

Nice detail on the engine Bruce, and your mechanic look better then last years.

I would like to join this years build off again, I've always had fun in the last three years although I did not complete last year. These are the builds I have completed. 2014--1968 corvette c6 running gear and suspension. 2015--1972 blazer Ferrari 599 gto running gear. This year I would like to enter a Jo-Han 72 javelin amx . I'm sure I'll update the engine and suspension but as for the rest of it I figure it out as I go

I bought a kit similar to this when I was about 8. It was revell's penny pincher beetle, tried to turn it into the love bug. I painted the orange body with white enamel brush, it turned out sort of pinkish the numbers I made with permanent marker which smeared. To say the least it turned me off building till my late thirties. Which is why I bought this kit I thought with more skill and patience it would turn out better. I wanted my revenge on this kit. It just about beat me again but I will finish it even though I'm not happy with the results. I have lowered, added Pegasus cl 19" wheels still have to assemble the engine interior and glass. The bumpers are from a die cast I found at a garage sale.

Amazing just about sums it up, love everything about this truck.

Great to see some vintage tin in this build off, your is build very cool. Good luck as well.

Amazing detail Bruce, your truck turned out great! Good luck in the voting.

Love the direction you are taking this kit, looks great even I the mock up stage. By the way the 66 is very sharp as well!

To start off I could not agree with you more on this kit it's terrible, I'm building one now. But you are certainly doing a great job on this especially with no plans to start with, very much looking forward to following this build.

Great work to all builders! I was disappointed in myself that I didn't get very far this year working two full time jobs didn't help, but I'll be back next year. The number of finished entries this year was down but the quality of the builds was top notch!

Glad to see you back on this, I can't speak on the proportions of the car, but I know what I like, I really like the way it looks now.

I was very surprised how well you made that roof fit on that body style amazing job, looks great it reminds me of the Ferrari breadvan. Very nice choice of colour too, I'm glad you stayed away from the blue with white stripes or red, to common in my opinion.

This is just gorgeous the paint quality and colour, the wheels and engine. Perfect in my opinion love this build one I wish I would done.

Great work Pat, there are a lot of cool builds happening. Some really nice roll cages on every build, very intimating as I haven't built one before. I'm off to a bad start tried using some heat to straighten the chassis and melted it. Not to big of a deal I'm going to rework most of that any way. I'm looking for some opinion though, is the cars ride height to low? Seems that everyone is going pretty high up.

HI guys, I'm changing my build for this year, still going to build a rally car. This is the Nitto 1/24 Lancia Stratos, it's the same kit as the italeri. The kit is a curbside and was supposed to be motorized the body is a 2 piece, just taped together for now. I will add an engine, running gear and suspension. I'm think of using a 1uz tbi Lexus engine from clearly scale

Very cool build nice to see the 3D printed parts on this. Nice choice of engine, amazing detail it was a pleasure to follow this build.
