Here is a car show my school did, how I got into model cars: The red Z28 was me. The rest are just some fellow classmates.

I find that funny that you take the automotive class, because twenty plus years ago I took a home-economics class and was the only guy. I can certainly understand the grief you get.

I figured if I worked on cars at home and already knew the stuff why should I take a course at school. I mean I need to eat and maybe fix a rip in my clothes. Right?

All the models look great. Yours does stick out though. Looks a lot cleaner.
Great Job!

:hat: You did a really fine job on your red Z28, and I really appreciate your attention to detail and conciencious workmanship. And your truck really IS awesome!
I'd also like to mention that one of your classmates did a really impressive paint & build on the silver mustang with the two black stripes up the center, too! :thumbsup:

You too mate??:p I got kicked out of woodwork for playing up too much and nearly accidentally killing someone with a wayward lathe tool:o.
I ended up doing 3 years of home economics- not that it did any good- I cook as healthily as Lucretia Borgia....
I agree with Chris Solesky. There's some nice models there, but yours IS the cleanest build. That truck would have been good competition though.

Solesky, your Camaro blows them all away. I think I said this in your other thread. Nice clean build. Good show :thumbsup:

Would have to agree with the others, your red Z28 is a winner.

Just don't forget the door handle details next time. ;)

Thanks and yes I should have done more detail, :), I didn't do a lot of stuff because 1.) I didn't want to mess it up and 2.) I was kind of on a deadline so on the night before it was due I had to haul a**. I'm not one to procrastinate but with a model and the amount of time we had it was inevitable.

Great Job!! I remember entering a model building contest in school I got first place!! It was an Opel Gt metalic green built in to a dragster..Wish I still had it. I think it was an old Revell kit that you could build stock or into a dragster...Jeff
