Gauging interest - A Back to Basics / Slump Buster CBP

[Jantrix]

I've got nothing but more involved builds on the bench right now. Lots of modifications, scratch-building, detailing, and body work involved. And right now I'm in a slump with low motivation. I need a slump buster. So I'm fixing to start a box-stock  build. A first for me in MANY years. I'm going to just do a clean, zero-modifications, no aftermarket parts, model with lots of style. I'm going to do it with box stock competition rules in mind so that I can show it later on, hopefully.

If there is interest in a CBP on this subject, I'll start one and hopefully we can get each other motivated again. If not, no harm, no foul.

I've used my bench as a shelf right now. Got promoted to management now all I do is work. Not sure when I'll build next.

Clean off the far right corner. work doesn't need that far right corner. lol

[Jantrix]

Okay guys. I'll go ahead and start it up this weekend.

I might be up for this...if I can find any time to work on anything model-related. All my on-bench-builds are complex and I'm in much the same boat as you. Maybe a simple little box-stock build would be a good idea.

My problem is my simple box builds become complex. It just happens!

Yup. I've been thinking of doing an almost-box-stock T roadster for a while, and this thread came up. Fine. I'll maybe paint the wheels red and do the tires white, like somebody could have done back in 1923 when she was new. Otherwise bone stock. Maybe ignition wires, but otherwise bone stock.

So then I'm thinking "hmmmm...how about the Frontenac DOHC cylinder head from the old T-touring kit, and maybe some Model A wire wheels, and an A transmission, and a little lowering job, and posable steering, and a cut-down windshield..."

It's a curse.

Yes it is. The CBP build thread is up.
