CRS Custom Rod and Speed resurrection project

[Mr. Metallic]

Thank you to those that took the time to actually vote (or email me your votes as non-members). The run-off candidates have been selected by a tally of all votes, so now I am asking for you to vote once again. Here is the list of 4 candidates(there was a tie for third). Also, the final tally is listed below.

The '72 GMC- This is based on the AMT/MPC 72 Chevy Longbed kit. I adapted an AMT '89 Chevy 454SS interior to I could have seperate parts instead of the crudely molded one peice '72 interior. I'm thinking it will probably run the big block from the revell '67 Chevelle pro-street kit. Body details include the GMC kit grille and hood, molded front pan, molded rear pan, and full width taillight. Wheels and tires are from the recent revell '67 chevelle Cali Wheels kit, and the paint scheme will also be pulled from that kit, orange over black with the chevelle kit flame decals.

6-shooter model A- This model is a true kitbash. Throw the body and shortened bed from a new tool Alakart, add the custom nose from the AMT '36 Ford, engine and wheels/tires from the Galaxie Ltd '48 Chevy, and lots of parts box stuff and you get what you see here. The engine does have parts from the AMT '53 vette to make the engine unique, with the 3 sidedraft carbs and the ignition shrouding is removeable too. This one is actually painted, but I will need to strip it because the body work is sub-standard. it was my first experimant with Tamiya putty, an it shrank badly(it's not the 2 part stuff, which I hear works really well) hopefully I won't have to re-do too much bodywork, becasue otherwise this one is ready to assemble.

'32 Chevy Nomad- This is based on the MPC '32 Chevy cabriolet kit, with an revell speedwagon cowl and AMT '55 nomad roof grafted on. It will probably run on the revell '32 ford frame, but I may change my mind to something more GM minded. This will be a "newstalgia" type build, so I'll be running a supercharged straight 6(probably the engine from the revell'41 chevy pickup.) The body is the only thing actually done on this one, so many of the details are open to ideas.

Sectioned '40 Ford- this is based on the revell '40 Ford coupe kit. It has been channelled and sectioned, but will remain un-chopped to retain the strong east-coast style vibe. It is inspired by the El Matador 50's custom. There are scoops at the rear of the running boards, a customized '39 standard grille, and will probably have quad headlights and molded C2 vette taillights. Motovation may be from the Cadyy engine in the new revell '49 Merc(if I can ever find one).
