Santiago, Heck Bro, Best of Show sure ain't nuthin ta sneeze at blood! Jeezse Ida been happy jus ta PLACE!!! But then again I DON'T enter contests! :lol: Personally a COMPLETELY HAND BUILT model like the Impala should win at Salt Lake! Yours is the ONLY one I've EVER SEEN! and when you bought the Chassis to Toledo last year I was blown away JUST by the FRAME!!! Didn't see anything that ambitious this year, though there might have been. You AND Tonio were missed, by ME if nothing else. It probly woulda REALLY gotta alotta votes if it had been there(hint,hint) Hopefully, God willing we'll see BOTH you guys there next year! We had a GREAT TIME!(as usual) Later, Carnal!!!

Santiago, Is THAT 1/16th scale too? WHERE do you FIND this stuff??? Is it ALL R/C stuff???

I'm guessing it's based on the Revell 1/16th Chevy 4x4 pickup body, at least from the rear edge of the front doors forward.

Nice work, Santiago.
