BRBO2021

[Oldmopars]

Well, I am in for 2021 with the AMT FLC and a Moebius 53 foot with Reefer. Doing a modern rendition of the Truck Elenore from the Great Smokie Road Block.

Hi Jeff, I might join in if it’s not too late. Haven’t built a rig since I was about 11-12 years old, 40ish years ago! Is the deadline in June? Not sure I can pull that off....

UPDATE !!!!! The BRBO 21 deadline is extended till Dec 31st   !!! This will allow everyone time during the warmer months to enjoy being outside , then resume work as the temps drop again . Plus it should allow more folks to complete their builds and more finishers the better !!! 

Hopefully those who have finished their entries won't be upset by the change,  

Jeff

[wayne00]

This is much appreciated!!

With my pending surgery I doubt I would have made the mark.

Thanks

It's been ages, but I'm actually making progress on my build. Will try and update my thread soon. Truck chassis is done. Interior is started. Trailer is pretty much finished.

I might actually finish this one.

Great, I look forward to seeing it. 
I have a new project I want to start, but made myself a promise not to start till other projects are done, so I finished my BRBO last night. 
I still need to get decent pictures, but it’s done.

I’m glad that deadline has extended! I’ve only just got some time to get back to the bench next week.

Thanks Jeff

Nearing the end of another month,  sounds like deja vu..several builds are still going on and many are wrapping up or complete

I've been slacking big time about working on my project , have zero ambition of sitting at the bench . Walked by it this wknd , and pondered sitting down for awhile..then noticed the sun outdoors.

It made me laugh when the thought crossed my mind that this hobby is like that..itll be right there waiting patiently for ya until the times right..like a good dog . Seems ironic now that my builds a Brockway Husky

That’s the way this hobby is. You go weeks working hard on a project, then something else comes up and you don’t get to the bench for a while. 
This is a good thing. It allows us to control the hobby, not it controlling us. 
Don’t worry about it, just try to have fun.

Were all heading into the last few months of the BRBO, and starting to see more builds restart !  Let's make this another record year for complete builds if possible 

Thanks again for everyone's participation 

[gotnitro?]

thanks to everyone that joined up this year for the 2021 BRBO, and with just a few months left were getting close to picking a winner ! 

I planned making a complete list of those who entered..and then I  slacked off  that didn't happen sorry. I did just take a stroll thru the Under glass section ,and found 10 completed builds !! The list of finishers up this point are...

Mopar-D Dan Gurney AAR Cuda hauler

Bronze keg- Autocar dump truck

casey 429 - IH F4270

Sam I Am - GMC Crackerbox

Dutzie - Ford CL 9000

Driptroit 71 - Ford T8000

We're nearing the end of the BRBO 21 , only a few short weeks to go !! Really looking forward to posting everyone's finished builds together to celebrate another brbo in the books ! 

Plenty of time left for the builders to complete their projects and join the finishers group

Huge thanks again to gw trucks for sponsoring this year BRBO and everyone for their participation.
