slantasaurus Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 Thanks guys but you might not like my Datsun very much when you find out who I'll be driving for, they happen to be the most feared company in Chicago.....
vwdave92 Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 Sixth annual?!?! Oh man. "I'm out of it for a while and everyone get's delusions of grander," said Han Solo. Well I toed the starting line the first two years. Was all set to make the first three then dropped out of sight as real life happened. I can't tell you how happy I am to see this thing is alive and kicking! And largely unchanged. nope… no way I'll get a car together by the deadline. I can only hope there will be a 2014 contest. Thanks for keeping things going. Dave
DriftingRookie Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 The impala is in the paint shop as we speak first color of the two tone is drying then going to mask off and spray 2nd color for two tone. Just need to find where i left the trunk lid if not i will contact revell and have them send me another one
DriftingRookie Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 The final two tone paint job, letting it cure till morning then going to wet sand it to clean it up and then reshoot some color and clear on it.
Jantrix Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 Dave wonderful to see you back. I've every confidence that someone will step up to run it next year as well. So get your ideas together. Thanks guys but you might not like my Datsun very much when you find out who I'll be driving for, they happen to be the most feared company in Chicago..... The mob?
TFchronos Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 Trust me, there will be another one next year, even if I have to run it. I wont let this fade away, not while I'm still breathing at least, I'm having way to much fun.
maltsr Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 Count me in for next year I finished my build back in May and she hasn't been on the road since.. better start her up to make sure she's running sweet ready for the race
DriftingRookie Posted November 16, 2013 Posted November 16, 2013 Did the wet sanding this morning and forgot to put it back on the stand to put over my heater to dry, well it got melted and warped so I'm a little pissed off right now. But the Dart will be ready for the start line, just haven't gotten around to taking pictures of it

Thanks for keeping things going. Dave Hey Dave. How they hangin? Folks, you're all doing well. I'm nearly finished but based on previous years something will come up which will delay completion until the last minute. Next year? Well I did just get given a Revell Trabant...

slantasaurus Posted November 18, 2013 Posted November 18, 2013 Europe. London to Moscow via Amsterdam, Berlin and Prague in 1987... We can't go through Amsterdam, too many of us will lose our way after visiting the coffee shops.
