Richard, that is an awesome classic racer, and from what I've seen a very nice kit to put together as well.
BTW, when you get a chance can you please get working on a submission for the Group Build so we can get things rolling there?
Cheers, D

Damian It comes stock and some parts to make it a cafe racer, (roll hoop and two half moon windscreens) Looking for Minilite style rims.

Hey, wait a minute, I haven't given up on the Target Reynard yet,

Mike, I worked for 10 years managing hardware and power tool supply businesses here in Melbourne, it's a great line to be in, and we sponsored a Ford touring car back then driven by Mark Larkham.

Hi folks.

With the Blue Oval Group Build just around the corner, it's time to get the discussion going around the next Automodeler Group Build. Starting on April 1, 2020 we will be trying to scale down our need for speed and build a race themed vehicle.

The rules are up for discussion but as per the "Group Build Themes" thread, in order to maximise the participation I believe that we should be all-inclusive and allow open and closed wheel cars, trucks and bikes, from any genre of organised race or time trial, from circuit tracks, straight strips, rally and off-road, hard surface, dirt, grass, sand, dust and mud !!

Formula cars, NASCARS, stock cars, funny cars, gassers, rails, rally cars, superbikes, dirt bikes, super trucks, enduro off-road vehicles, pretty much anything with wheels that needs to go from A to B faster than the other guy

If anybody would like to put their hand up to act as Group Build Leader, you will as always get the full support of the admin staff here along the way as required.

So let the discussion begin.

I will maintain an updated list of interested parties and prospective builds here throughout the lead-up period.

Aussiereg (Damian) - '55 Chev Pro Sportsman (Revell)
Joel_W (Joel) - TBA (too many options to narrow it down just yet!)
Dixon66 (David) - TBA

md72 (Mark) - Chev Monte Carlo NASCAR (Jeff Gordon)

Cheers, D

P.S. I might build an old Chevy, just for something different

Has anyone set up a campaign page yet? On the campaign section page nothing shows up yet.

Just signed up for the Group Build. I must be insane! Anyway, I am planning on doing the Revell 1957 Ford Sedan Gasser:



The first rule of the campaign is that "all entries must have a racing number somewhere on the body". As you can see from the photo, the gasser doesn't have a racing number. Does this disqualify this car from the build?

Jim

That thought crossed my mind while working on the submission.
For drag racing bracket cars a ET time marked on side windows free hand would work.
Damian please amend the rules.
