I would go, but I'm working 10am-7pm and won't be able to make.

awesome. I know marc. 360 spider, we need some identifying information so we can meet you! I hope I can get everything done. I am doubtful on my 32 ford, the Ron Fellows Z06 is just about there, and I'm going to hit another wal mart tonight to try and find another 06 mustang, All I need is the friggin back glass. can't find mine for the life of me.

I was there! I didn't meet any of you, but there were LOTS of good looking cars on display. I was particularly fond of the burghandy red 350Z in the curbside class. that paint was FANTASTIC! I entered the black USDM variant 240SX in the same class.

we (myself and my friend brandon) got there at about 10:30, and he immediately set forth an attempt to finish his '69 Camaro (the silver one in the Street machine class), but unfortunately it was still quite tacky (dang enamel clear coat) and he decided not to bother ruining the paint by finger prints while BMF was applied, so it was entered unfinished.

those of you that were there, the wheels on his camaro are the prototype of my resin cast rims. which I'll be working on getting into the market very soon.

I also entered my Tamiya 350Z with the C-West body kit from SAS in the "tuner" class. I must say I was honestly suprised to get first, as the corolla, and MR2 were FANTASTIC builds.

we had LOTS of fun, I can't wait 'till next year to do it again!

I was there at about 3 pm. Didn't enter any cars, since I haven't build anything good lately. There were plenty awesome models on display - that burgundy Z also caught my eye! There was also a very nice blue Corvette in curbside! Got me some decals...

wish I had gotten the chance to meet up with you guys!! This was my first judged contest. I got 3rd in pavement comp with my silver Goodwrench car. I was surprised at the judging in some cases. But all in all it was a good show. I know now the caliber of build that I've got to bring to the next one to take an award. Here are the cars that I had there, unfortunately I got half way there and realized I had forgotten my cobra. It would have placed in the exotic/foreign class. I had the wrangler monte carlo, goodwrench monte carlo, my 1/12 Camaro project, the mustang coupe and monte carlo pro mod, both in the project class, the mineral grey 06 mustang that wasn't quite finished, and the black 57 thunderbird. That camaro caught my eye, wish I had paid more attention to the wheels

here are the photo's that I took. I'm sure that Marc (oakiemodelbuilder) will chime in if he posts his to a photo album

tonioseven · #12 03-19-2007, 10:16 AM

Anyone have any pictures?!

rsxse240 · #13 03-19-2007, 10:40 AM

white97ex · #14 03-19-2007, 11:48 AM

here are a my two entries, and the camaro that I was talking about.
first, my 1993 240SX coupe with corrected seats, and automatic shifter modification to replicate (at the time it was built) my 1:1 car.

and my SAS C-west 350Z

then there is Brandon's amazing (only his second build) camaro that is sporting my resin seats, brakes, and wheels.

also, brandon's first model was there. the fujimi S14

thanks to those who posted the images on their sites for all to see.
the metroplex car modeling association has their website and a gallery HERE

Thanks to those who made the show possible, I had a GREAT time.
