Well I finally finished one, although this one was thrown together in just two weeks to meet the deadline for the NSW NNL Titles, I'm happy with the way it turned out. (Even if it was finished at 1.30am the morning of the show).
It's standard out of the box virtually, after last year it was decided we'd allow bare metal foil, flocking and ignition wires to be added to the NNL cup category.
The colour is Ford Wild Violet, with white primer seats and Tamiya purple carpet.

After Fred complaining about display stands I knew I had to have this on one so I recycled an old base from about a decade ago that I used on the '41 Willys I built. Smile

And much to my surprise and Fred's horror(disgust Wink ) it came home with the gold.  Laughing

I can vouch for he 0130 finish as I was there dozing on the couch.
This looks even better in the flesh and deserved to win (curse you Burns, i'll get you next year etc...).
My display base, for my rust rod, was an old rusty brake rotor from my ute - not as special as Rob's but heavier... Cool

Build a car in two weeks , then take out the NNL Trophy---that's insane -- but well done Rob! I like your style , and the T-Bucket looks good also! By the way , my Manx has been ordered, along with a bunch of other stuff.
I have some ideas brewing now for my Meyers Manx.

Boat.

I've come up with a plan for a Manx.  Not one with a rusted fibreglass body but something much worse... Twisted Evil
