Got my copy in the mail yesterday (4/19/21) in ND. Pretty slick gentlemen. Kudos to Tim Kolankiewicz for design and layout.

I have the opposite experience. I've never thrown anything out and regularly contemplate the wisdom of that, especially living in a 950 sq.ft. house with tiny closets.

To be honest, if I'd known this thread was going to be this long-lived and thorough, I'd have considered a more thoughtful, descriptive and searchable heading.

Then you might need one of these. You'll be centuries ahead of the Smokeys. ?

Love that VW Pat. Man, you got every detail, especially the top cover. For the record, be sure to include some finished shots in the 2020 thread

Pete, I love what you're doing with the Audi and SUPER clean!

What a cool piece. Well thought out and executed details.

Ebay would be the biggest hassle for kits. You live in car country, I'm sure there are interested modelers in your area. I'd favor the swap meets and Facebook garage sale so you can sell bunches at a time. Plus, as Tom G. says, you'll be reaching the people who want it most, face to face. Hobbyists will usually walk away with a few pieces more than they came for, and you might make some new friends who'll occasionally contact you later for more.

I see your car is in "end of race" configuration. How optimistic ?. Your relatively early completion betrays the amount of time, effort and focus you've put into this. A well thought out and executed theme model. Hats off, Kurt.

Excellent choice for a car of this limited era. I think it's a true beauty among most other early 70s land yachts, including Cadillac and Chrysler and I can tell the craftsmanship is spot on.

Tried to look up other articles, but they all pretty much repeat the same press release of precious little info and flowery optimismistic generalities.

Unchopped. Permanently chopped.

X2. All of it.

That's the thing about this vintage of Corvette. The rear ends are so distinctive that anything different changes whole personality of the car. Brilliant idea and clever use of available parts.

Shocking!

Well there you have it boys, the bar has been set by the defending champ.? (except your left front tire is on backwards)

Now that's the spirit of Cannonball!

Undecided.

Your heart's in the right place, but don't let it give you a heart attack that tosses out the fun along with an unfinished build. I did this Cruiser for the CB a couple years ago with the body on an Audi R8 Chassis. I'm sure a serious car guy could pick it apart, but I stayed centered by sacrificing technicalities for fun. Of course it's never won anything either, but winning isn't everything (says losers ?).

I've been an ad creator for 20+ years and when in radio I used to be amused at how many clients want their ads to say, "...for all your (blank) needs." "XYZ vacuums for all your vacuum needs," etc. My favorites were, "...XYZ Forklift, for all your forklift needs" and the all time winner "ABC Abstracting, for all your abstracting needs." I kept a list hanging on a cabinet that we all contributed to as they crossed our desks.

Reminds me of my best friend who has stainless auto trim shop. He recently finished a 59 Chevy and said there was 200-feet of stainless to polish. You wouldn't think so to look at it. Great work on the BMF Brian, you're well on your way.

Ohhh Nigel, your faith is inspiring, but the beast is sleeping, waiting to arise and bite you in the assemblage. ?

So much to like here! Gonna bookmark this.
