Now that things are underway with the Vintage and Classic GB, I was looking further on down the horizon. (As I tend to do)
The next Group Build is going to be race related as per general consensus, but after that?
I would really like to have a real meaty muscle car build. The meatier the better!!! Aghh, aghh, aghh!!
American Beauties? English Beauties? Italian Beauties? Japanese Beauties? Russian Beauties...? Totally custom!? Low-riders? High-riders? Supercars? Kitbashing? Police related? Cabs? Cabriolets? Going Pink? Nascar? Used car? Rust bucket? Boydsters? Futuristic? Top-fuel? No fuel?
What say ye??

It'd be good to see some unusual cars getting some exposure. Perhaps a 'limited edition' build - cars that had a limited lifespan or were only built in small numbers?
If there was a 'muscle car' build then for me it'd have to be right now ( I have a 1970 Mustang and 2010 Camaro) or next Christmas as I already have a 1/16 Dodge Challenger - the 'General Lee' that I intend to do as a stock car lined up.

I saw a Hudson the other day and thought in those exact terms... that would be cool??
If a muscle car build would be next after the race mania, then the time frame would be Jan 2014 to Jun 2014...

A junkyard, basket case, beound repair, rusty campaign would be pretty cool.

Hey Brian I have a nice Cobra that would fit into the muscle campaign, or in a race campaign. I was looking at Dave's Citeron CV scrappy, how about a scrapyard build/garage sort of campaign. My only worry......would be the challenge of a dio, I know some guys prefer to build just the model without a base. I would be in whatever the build lol.

A rust-bucket GB wouldn't necessarily need to have a dio at all! Not by me anyway... Never have been very good with dios myself. Could be a cool-project!! Rat-rods are also cool!!

I'm all for a rust bucket GB too, have been wanting to try one for awhile now. Muscle cars & supercars would be high on my list also!
