time frame
i think a year from the beginning is about right as a limit.
that way everyone gets a chance to finish.
Start
everyone needs to start at the same time more or less.
we'll want before pix posted before videos would be even better.
possibly a thread on actually finding and purchasing the project would be neat.
So posting a before pix at the start of this contest is a RULE.
Updates
as we are all Nosey we'll want monthly updates.
it can be one pix or many a short write up about whats been done would be required too.
nothing fancy.
just heres what gotten done kinda thing.
a better and possible tie breaker idea would be to post LOTS of pix and descriptions of
Why did you did what was done
Who did the work
What was/has been done
Where did you get parts or find repair
that way we'll get info shared and see your thinking.
we need PRIZES mostly because i can.
so i'm thinking i'll make up some found object trophies outta broken parts.
something like the trophies i've given at the cuddeback events.
for the BEST kart i think we're gonna have real loot not sure what yet but it'll be Great.
for the Classes.
not sure but heres my thoughts
Owner built Class
kart has to be at least 70% built by owner.
things like upholstory,powder coating,rewelding and chrome are allowed by outside help.
Professional Class
kart is built by mostly professionals owner still required to find project and build at least 30% of kart
Categories will be simple
Period correct
Full restoration
Owner modified
Best engine
Best paint
Peoples Choice
i'm thinking final showing will require a video of some sort going around every bit of the kart.
Since we don't have video function here we may need to have a alternative website set up with a link for now.
Finally we have ALOT of guys on the forum that aren't in the USA.
you are WELCOME to enter you project if you like.
the idea is while we may not ever actually meet in person everyone who loves vintage karts gets a chance to show their stuff.
my finger is sore so i'll stop now.
