OK, so we thrashed out the rules and had a TONNE of early entries...here's the official thread for the contest! We've got new guys, OKs (Original Klowns), prizes, girls (not really)....Lets Make The Coffin Corner Great Again! This is gonna be fun! So, the rules are simple - all you Krazy Klowns think of a name for a showrod. Send me the name in a message before September 14th and on that day I'll put them all in a hat (probably some kinda big crazy top hat like Big Daddy) and I'll draw the names received out at random and redistribute them back to all you Krazy Klowns. You probably won't get your own name back - the fun is in seeing what name you get! Soon as you get your build name - think of a concept and start building! Be sure to post lots of in-progress shots to inspire your fellow Krazies! If you're stuck for an idea for a name, maybe play with the Showrod Name Generator and see what it comes up with! The idea of the contest is to encourage some activity and excitement on the site, and to get some of you lurkers back to the bench! Let's support this amazing site by using it for what it's meant for - building some crazy showrods and having a blast talking about them! To help motivate you guys further there will be prizes! I'm going to put up at least one kooooool showrod kit of some sort, and possibly more if we get a decent turnout. I'm not sure what it'll be yet - I might look through my stash here and pick something out, or see what my local hobby store has, or see if I can find something rare and interesting. If anyone would like to donate a prize of any kind, that would be SUPER cool too! Let me know and I'll add it to a list so everyone can see what's on offer. Parts, kits, showrod memorabilia - anything you have lying around that someone might dig - it will all be appreciated! So, I urge you all - PLEASE consider taking part in this fun contest! it's more fun to build than to watch - lets get some of you long term members involved again - and all the new ones too! This site is such a GREAT resource - let's get it rocking and rolling again and blow off some kobwebs!

One Name Game entrant will get this amazing showrod name to use for their project!

I am going to pin this to the top so we can keep up with it. I must say I have been chomping at the bit to get started on this... I have some potential base kits I hope a name is fitting for. I'm ready. I plan on using both names I get and building two- one I will share the progress and one that will be a surprise... just for kicks. If you haven't had a chance to join, PM Kabdriver your two names and get on board... If anyone gets a name that doesnt' spark anything, post it and let's brain storm or I will even trade one of mine. That offer is only open for a few days after the drawing. I will build a car for any name, cause I ain't skeert...

I. am. ready. I've held off on any other building until we get our names. I might finish up the gasser Gremlin.. it's close, but I'm not working on any showrods until we start. I feel like a penned up dog.

I usually stagger build 2 or 3 at a time to let things dry. I tend to be impatient some times.

Also, can you believe that we've got 16 builders on board for this thing? I was hoping for maybe 5 or 10...GREAT job guys! This place is gonna be rockin' and rollin' in the next few weeks when we get the names sent out. I can't wait to see a bunch of new builds happening all at once!

Okay. Another Ol' Fart is ready to play. Do I need to add more suggested names for the list? Dave McGowan is back in the haaaaaa-ouse! Awesome... Any of you old timer lurkers like Dave who's login stuff got botched on a board upgrade or something in the past, make a new profile and jump back in... or tell somebody who suffered the same fate. The board software did some stuff a while back and I think it messed a few people up. Welcome back, homey. I can't wait to see what you build...

Welcome back, homey. I can't wait to see what you build... I look forward to seeing what name(s) I receive. With any luck, I already have all of the kits I will need to create an appropriate showrod.
