I'll dig out one of my old projects and see what state it is in. Maybe I'll join in this round.  Might have to wait until next round, spring is busy around here with gardens and chicks.

Gotter done just under the wire! Have to find some red side markers as the ones in the kit are too small. Also have to decide on a license plate. More pics after I get a load on. 55D0DD79-4FA1-48F2-984A-33A82E0D3D81.thumb.jpeg.9acb20b74371bfc3c632a67e8e0aa358.jpeg

Congrats to all the participants on this round, it’s great to see such a high percentage of completed builds! I’m really enjoying the BOYD thread, having completed two long standing projects and I’m on for the next round. I would like to complete a build that was last touched in April of 2014, seven years ago, of a Chopped T Altered. It is based on the DD kit utilizing the altered chassis with the Hemi and mounting the chopped T body with a candy red paint scheme.

Been awhile since the above photo and I don’t remember whether the silver base was enamel or lacquer, so to be safe I’m leaning to using an enamel base for the Alclad candy red which is also enamel based I believe. I had some trouble with the initial silver coat and that was what brought the build to a stop.

So count me in Snake, cheers Misha

Excellent recap of the rules, except the builds run 3 months (90 days) not 2. Newcomers definitely welcome!B)

And if you don’t finish in two rounds you mail it to Snake and he will finish it for you. ?

Well, I guess I'll throw my hat in the ring. This kit was started in 97 or 98. I was aiming to replicate a coworkers camaro she bought new in 77. I filled in the t tops and was prepping to add a vinyl half top. Her car was a dark brown with a tannish top. Plain trim, no spoiler. Her's had the 6 cylinder, at the time i had no donor 6's, so i installed the kits v8. She passed a few years ago, i figure i should still finish it up the way i intended to. Here's the kit I started with and where it was when I boxed it up.

That chevelle is absolutely stunning.

Thanks Kyle, I'm pleased with how it turned out. Shame I can't go for a drive in it.? 

Count me in for the next round Snake. I haven't decided what my entry will be yet (so many choices) but it could be something that 's been untouched since the last millennium.

That looks great! The tan interior goes nicely with the orange body. ?

Cheers Tim. My next Chevelle is a project and a half. Will probably run over 2 rounds so will need to get Mustang done first

In the round before last I got as far as painting the body shell before having to pack up to renovate a bedroom over summer. I didn't get to post the body at that time so here is where I will jumping back in from. Body needs polishing, fire wall painting and decalling. Inside will be brush painted matt black.

He's exactly right. All you have to do is say you're in and you're in--you've already posted the required starting point picture. B)

Nice. That looks like quite the undertaking.

Thanks. It wasn’t really much. Just a box stock build. It was the first semi trailer I built. I was most concerned about it going together with all the sides squaring up. As it turned out that was not a problem. Finding a place to build something so big seemed to be the biggest challenge! The washer & dryer worked well when there was no laundry to do.  ?

Thanks to Snake I gotter done!

I was disappointed that it is not all that big and looks like it will not hold 4 mid to late 50’s Mopars as I had hoped. ED66B035-43E6-49D3-A90C-7A33CEB0455F.thumb.jpeg.b57f9de9ed228e989b798a87acefc97a.jpegCan you imagine backing that Plymouth up the ramps?!C5CA0721-2194-4C5A-883B-ABD3FE6A9EE6.thumb.jpeg.73d11f49d918c0211981b30c687a676b.jpegA77471F6-E52B-45F3-8038-9104C4CB0E5E.thumb.jpeg.410a42a9d4052e0fefa76b146e001531.jpegDCCF5B99-51CA-42B4-92F5-45DFD79D74A6.thumb.jpeg.75629327cbcf318130059552022e020e.jpegNot much room for a big car here. The pickup fits well in that spot but it had to ride on the tailgate since it was the only vehicle with “parking brakes!”?
