Pick this one up at the flea market yesterday. I picked up another model as well. It has been built already. I'll try to get pictures of it in a few days.

Looks like something driven by a low budget backwoods version of the A-Team. LOL. I like it.

A little Street Cruiser. That's the ideal anyway.

Last year the basic premise was that you took two or more model kits, and 'bashed' them together; making one from a mix of the parts.
My original idea was to take one kit which was a 'vehicle', car, truck, plane, boat, etc and have the other be a 'monster' kit, weird ohs, rat fink, or scratch built. We weren't hard and fast on the rules, except for one: revert to our childhood model building M.O. and have fun!

Well, it definitely gave me something
to do with a little bit of my time, & occupy my mind. Heck, what am I talkin about? Resparked a flame that I was trying to get going again.
Looks like I have been able to keep this thread going for almost time for the next one.

@KJV , hey Tom, we will probably start a new thread for this year's RRKB, but thanks for keeping the spirit alive for the past 8 months!
