[hotrod59f100]

Is it ok Dr.Cranky if I join ? I'm waiting on a few parts for my ram . So I'm free this weekend if it's all right . I have to look at my kits but I need a quick build as its been a wile .

[mrm]

I was born on Frideay the 13th, so I just had to participate in this. I have a bunch of projects waiting to get started for my big Deuce challenge to myself, so I will need Dr Cranky's vote on my build.

a) '32 5 window full fendered

b )'32 Vicky fenderless street machine

c) '32 fenderless woody vert a.k.a. CALIFORNICATION

Dr Cranky, please take your pick, so I can brake out the superglue. LOL

Wow, Doc...good luck! Hope you've got your vitamin supply all set up along with the scrapple! Happy weekend! (Hey aren't there guys that build during the 24 hours of LeMans? You should be able to build 3 kits, no? )

[mrm]

I can build three kits in a day, but the question is with what result?! I think that building a really good model in 3 days is pushing it, but I will try it. The only problem is curing time for putty, paint etc.

[Rob McKee]

Seems like everyone is trying to complete a kit this weekend. I grabbed a 78 Trans Am at the shop today and started in on it tonight. I would love to finish this one off by Monday.

Go for it Dr. Cranky! You can tame that AMC!

[Dr. Cranky]

Michael, I vote for B.

Oh man, I'm still going . . .the parts are clean and ready for assembly, but I am not also gathering parts to mechanize this thing, gizmofy it!

This Gremlin looks sweet at first, but the front facia doesn't fit right, the hood with the scoop doesn't sit right. The side rear window inserts don't fit right. I busted a post . . .

Gotta get the torch out and fix it all up.

I had forgotten how terribly ugly this car really was/is. But I think it's going to make a good TZH!

Shane, you sure can, welcome to the 3-DAY building madness marathon!

I was born on Frideay the 13th, so I just had to participate in this.

Me to oct 13 .this is what I'm building .

[B-dub]

darn I wish I would have noticed this sooner I would have played along since it'll be a boring weekend for me...

[B-dub]

oh you are starting Sat. not Friday.. in that case could I participate with my ford f-150 4x4 kit? all that I have done is glue the bed sides on and clean up the bed. no other assembly has been done.

if not that then I think I'll have a quick look and see what I have

[ROB213]

hey dr. cranky,

id like to get in on this, if thats cool? i just picked this up the other day, its a 1961 impala ht. going stock on this except for the rims oh and remember im on cali time.

her she is, hope i can make the deadline happy friday the 13th eveyone!!

Here is my project. Really simple concept, at least on paper. A resin chopped Vicky, sitting on a chassis from AMT Phantom vicky, modified to have the Revell '32 front axle and rear end. Rear end modified to be a quickchange unit. The Boss 429 engine from Revell's '70 Mustang spinning the Willys wheels and tires. Comfort provided by the Pantom Vicky.

The only question is about the rules. Do we show progress and if we do, do we have to do it in this thread or as a separated one?

Pop the Red Bulls guys.....

[Dr. Cranky]

Cool, more company. Well, here we are Saturday morning. It is freaking cold too which basically means that as soon as I am finished with assembly I am going to use Vallejo Acrylic Primer to primer this build. It works great for small, quick projects like this.

But we still have a long day ahead.

Stay tuned in for more . . .

Rise and shine, you early birds, it's time to hit the bench!

[MikeMc]

Ok I will build! But I'm gonna do a ZOOM ZOOM... A 24 hour build !

Not a model...but a new computer....If the luck holds and the SATA gods are with me I will be up and tweaking by tonight....

I does have a pretty plastic case front..with blinking leds....

Read the current SA....Bob shows his "tricks" and he has done a 24 hour Lemans build for years with the A.C.M.E. crew!!

[Dr. Cranky]

All right, Mike, it sounds good. Yes, I've always wanted to do one of those 24 hour build things, and I just might if I survived this one.

[mrm]

So, do we have to post WIP pics on here?

[Dr. Cranky]

Yes, please do. Post your own pictures here, why not? Go for it.

[Dr. Cranky]

Digging deep into the parts box for some goodies . . .

The build is underway . . .

I think it's going to be a curbside although hit will still have lots of details throughout . . .

[Dr. Cranky]

Bionicle, Warhammer 40K, military vehicles of all types, they are all good, and, of course, the old reliable mesh!

Stay tuned in for more pics . . . this was progress around 7am this morning.

Legos?

[ranma]

So far frame is ready for paint as is the under carriage. then on to the motor which will have a single carb instead of 2.

[hotrod59f100]

Hey Dr where did you get the screen? For the windows ?

[Leadworks]

I'm sending a Philly's (Scrapple) Cheesesteak........and a bag of Doggie Cookies for EYEGORE..this has to be done....

[Dr. Cranky]

Thanks, everyone. No, not LEGOS, they are BIONICLE toy pieces. Thanks for the scrapple sandwich wishes. The mesh is from the craft store.

Here's more progress:

[Wagoneer81]

Well, this is perfect, Count me in! I cracked the box last night and started building this morning... The subjest is Monogram's '53 corvette... I'm doing a OOB build/mild custom for a model club theme and will throw my hat in the ring here! After three hours work, I have the chassis and floorpan, wheels and tires painted and assembled and the engine assembly is coming along nicely... I'll go ahead and take pics and post them when time allows!

[Dr. Cranky]

Bring it on, Chris. Join in the fun. Here's some more progress:

I am uploading a new progress vid, stay tuned in for more . . .
