Great looking coupe. Nice work. I like it.

Wonderful conversion. Absolutely first class. I like it very much. Thanks for sharing it. Hope to see more from you.

The Alclad black base I find is fairly forgiving too. Covers nice and smooth and thin, which is why the chrome overlay will show any scratch that hasn't been smoothed.

Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap.

Thanks for the great responses. That sounds like what I'm looking for but it also looks pretty big. I need a modeling tool to shape plastic for model parts. Does something like that come as a micro tool?

That's just blue ice from US Airlink. Don't eat it.

Which is why 2nd place was fine with me. As mine progressed I felt it strayed from the Cannonball spirit into something else. Had I won, I had photos lined up (to be Photoshopped) to show how I cheated and flew the car to Las Vegas then drove. I'm leaning toward Unlimited and Zenrat's photos speak for themselves.

Nice work Niko, sums it up pretty good. A handsome collection there Fred. I missed 2008 so I too was curious about the win prior to Swifter Shifters. As a card carrying member of the Mutual Admiration Society, I voted for yours too.

A small roller with a convex head or ball head, maybe 1/2" to 2" wide. Something to use for rolling out plastic. I did a search on Micro Mark but not a thorough navigation, not knowing what it would be called. Where would a guy go for something like this, hardware store, cooking store, hobby store or...? Opinions?

Hats off to you Zen for running another deviously clever race and outsmarting all obstacles. And for building a well equipped cross country hauler that had both stealth and brawn. (Curses! I'll have my revenge. Oh yes, I'll have my revenge.)

This is the Johan '70. Seems to me they were the most common. I recall they were still at hobby shops in the 80's, early 90's.

One of my favorites, the Zimmer Quick Silver. It's like a super-model... walks the line between gorgeous and garish. But lots of styling cues to draw from.

A fanciful, fun creation. The parts look like they have purpose.

You have more fabulous starts than anyone I know and this is no exception. I'd sure like to see your injured reserve stash.

Isn't that the way? Sometimes storage is good. You come back to it fresh and wonder why you got all bent out of shape over some obstacle that stalled you out and made you lose interest. Sadly, sometimes 11 years isn't enough. Welcome to the dark side.

Well the cars are away, the starting line is quiet and the curious crowds are dispersing. Now just waiting for reports from the road then word from the west coast. Thanks for all your work Ron for getting this going in the right direction and seeing it through to the end. You had a hectic year so I hope things will have settled enough to see you at the driver's meeting next year. -Mike-

Wow, what a beauty. Nice work.

Lunajammer's 1960 Corvette Custom

Watch your step. A guy could fall into the deep end of that body paint and never be heard from again.

Hard to believe this kit is old now. I remember the buzz it created when it came out about how crisp and detailed it was and you did a great job with it. I remember people at the time saying there's really not much extra to add.

That engine is killer! Beautiful colors and detailing.

LOL Well that's what I hear anyway. What I have to say next I pretty much only say when I'm drunk, but.... I love you guys. Seriously, you've all been a big help. Thanks.

I think all (internet/ebay) auctions should last ten seconds. All interested parties toss in what they're willing to pay and done. An early bidder is a bidder who pays too much. Nice grab Nick.

What is this Corvette engine and what kit does it come from? I bought it at a show and am considering using it but I don't know if I have all the parts or how to detail it better. If I know more I can hit up Drastic Plastic for instructions and look up references. Thanks.
