No....that smell is your socks...or glue...or paint...or body filler...or... Contest themes are great but everyone seems to run out of time or something (see my other post). Why not just a free-for-all build? Pick a crazy kit that you have not started, show rod, TD, Wheels Deal, whatever. Pick a starting date and a finish date. Take a photo of it new and unbuilt. Take weekly progression photos and tell what is being done, every week (come hell or high water). At the end, whatever you finish is great! I had a few models (actually 6) that I wanted done for NNL East. 4 got done and 2 ran into Murphy's Laws  I brought them and still had fun. Don't make the focus to narrow, just build something  |

OK, well, let's see..... I also thought, maybe we could add Zingers to it as well, since they have been reissued and kind of fit the same "comic" theme. We are lucky enough to have the creator of Zingers here with us, our own Denny Johnson!
I think we could let Denny maybe be our "Celebrity Judge" as we have just done with TD? What a fitting tribute to his and Dave Deals designs which everyone have loved for so long! Of course, he'll probably be itching to compete as well. The man still loves to build, that's for sure!!
Any input? How about a name? You guys come up with some catchy names, let's hear what you come up with!
Time span? How about we end it in July, that way it won't interfere with with the October contest? Mill it over....

Wuh-Duh-Bout your own scratch built version of a DW/Zinger?
The name of the contest could be the ISCCA (International Show Clown Car Association)

What's a Deal's Wheels? What's a kitbash? Why is the air so solvent-y fresh?  |

[glow=red,2,300]Found a set of DW Wheels, Tires & Chrome!!![/glow] Instead of a Charger I think I'll try doing a '53 Ford Truck, Deals Wheels Style.
I have been wanting to build this truck for a while, this should be a fun way to do it!

I still firmly believe our "themed" contests generate the most interest, as well as throwing everyone into the same category. It's a challenge amongst the group, thats the whole point, to see what everyone comes up with based on a general theme.
I'm always fascinated at how broad the spectrum is pushed with individual ideas in these contests! We are all the same, but completely different!
Oh, I think kitbashes based on the Zingers and Deals kits is a must have!!! Look at the endless possibilities!!! Obviously a Deals bash would use some of those crazy tires, but with a Zinger you could use your own tires of odd sizing to get the same affect. Hell, it could be 1/8 scale or anything for that matter!!!
A box-stock and kitbash category would be simple and easy I think. No unfinished stuff this time. Hell, if you can't finish one of these kits in 3 months you need to look for another hobby!! LOL!
Do we start now? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I've been trying for years to find an old gluebomb Super Spurt body to hack it into a Plymouth Duster and use a ZZZ28 chassis to make it a street car. The closest I got was finding a the rear tailight/ bumper section for the car. Does anyone have a rough Spurt body ?

Okay I'm in. Why not start it May 1st and finish whenever you feel is an appropriate amount of time. |

Yup, sounds like fun. Got a couple of ideas of cars that should be "Deal Wheeled." |

All I can say is this string of messages has inspired to commence building a Deal's Wheels / Zinger like project. Even if the contest doesn't get off the ground .. at least I got off my duff and built something ...

You can throw tomatoes at me if you want, but I'm not into Zingers or Deals wheels stuff, ...... I was thinking about a "John Bogosian" themed contest .............. I know I'm the odd one here, ( sorry ) .. but any thoughts ?? -AL |

I brought them and still had fun.
