The deadline is June 30 If you have any questions, PM me. After the deadline the top ten favorites will be selected, and voted on to find the top 3. after that the final 3 will get a vote and 1st will be determined.

Murphy's Law Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 I've got a 1/12th scale Jeep CJ-7 from Revell I'll get started on here in a couple days.
Murphy's Law Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 Here's the kit (1/16th, not 1/12th as I had previously posted) Here's what I am planning for the finished product (my first 1:1):
rolltide Posted January 7, 2010 Author Posted January 7, 2010 I love it, I have also decided SOME trucks will be allowed. Truck must be no later than 1960.
Nick Winter Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 I love it, I have also decided SOME trucks will be allowed. Truck must be no later than 1960. so only the '53 ford kit, '56 ford kit, both '60 chevy's, both '55 chevy's, the '57 chevy's, the '50 ford kit, the '50 chevy kits, that really dosen't open any options for me, considering only the '55-'60 chevy were available with four wheel drive.
envious8420 Posted January 7, 2010 Posted January 7, 2010 i just started on this in the last few weeks, does it qualify for entry?
Longbox55 Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 so only the '53 ford kit, '56 ford kit, both '60 chevy's, both '55 chevy's, the '57 chevy's, the '50 ford kit, the '50 chevy kits, that really dosen't open any options for me, considering only the '55-'60 chevy were available with four wheel drive. Not necessarily. Marmon-Herrington did 4x4 conversions on Fords from the late '40s (and posibly earlier) up to at least the late '50s (Ford came out with a factory 4x4 in '59), so that's an option. Plus, NAPCO did conversion kits similar to the ones they did for GM for Ford as well. They usually used the GM axles for the front.

O.k. you can do any truck jeep or suv. And yes That build you started envious will qualify.

And yes That build you started envious will qualify. Ok I've got a '99 chevy prerunner project that I can dig out or find.
rolltide Posted January 10, 2010 Author Posted January 10, 2010 Need more people, come on guys surely you got a truck you could put together.
Jared Roach Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 Wel I'll join in with a 99 silverado. I still have to order the kit because my LHS didn't have it. I'll be making it a reg cab short bed. It'll be stock, I'll let you know when I order the kit.

rolltide Posted January 10, 2010 Author Posted January 10, 2010 Looking good so far, i'll post progress once I make some.
Corvette.Jeff Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 i just started on this in the last few weeks, does it qualify for entry? IM loveing that tahoe
Jared Roach Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Well I ordered the silverado from my hobby store, thing that sucks is they aren't placing there order till they do inventory count, so they said probly won't be till early feburary.
riz Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 What the hell! Count me in! I may not finish but I do love the lifted trucks ! RIZ
Jared Roach Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Hey If you don't mind can I enter a second entry? I've got a 55 chevy cameo that I've lifted up and turned into a 4x4. I've only got the chassis done. Let me know
Longbox55 Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Need more people, come on guys surely you got a truck you could put together. My problem is I have TOO MANY trucks to put together! I think I can get in on this, though. I've got a Mint-In-Box unbuilt MPC '77 Chevy Dust Devil that's begging to be put together.
Roadkill2525 Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 I'll get in with my Aoshima Toyota Hilux Double Cab
