I was wondering if anyone would like to enter a "Show Only" tournament.  This would not be a race but a contest for the best looking car. 

This will be a posting online tournament. 

Take your best picture of your entry and then an under chassis pic to show your drilled rivets. Then just send your photos to: KandORacingTeam@gmail.com

Cars will be judged on paint, details, workmanship, and added details such as working components like opening doors, working lights and so on.

Every RLD member gets one (1) vote per category even if you do not enter any category.  Please vote for your favorite car/designer during the voting between each category, by sending your vote to me by way of a PM.  Please state what category you are voting for and who you are voting for.  Good luck to everyone.

Please do not vote for yourself as these will not count.

Do not send any cars !!!

Different Categories are:

  • Vintage- Cars between 1919 and 1930
  • Antique - Cars between 1931 and 1975
  • Classic - Cars between 1976 and 1995
  • Modern American -American made 1996 to Present
  • Modern Import -  Foreign Made 1996 to Present
  • Custom - Anything goes here
  • Muscle & Hot Rod -  You know what goes here. No Exotics allowed
  • Best Exotic - These are for Ferarris, Lambos, McClarens and such.  No Muscle or Hot Rods allowed here.
  • Barn Find - Rusted gold.  Add scenery if you like.
  • Best Pre-War - Before 1941
  • Overall Show Champion - Voted on by the entrants

Since I am not judging this tournament I will be entering this tournament.

New rules in post one.....nothing major.....in italics.....Stroller.

The Unique Category since it could also be included in Customs will be replaced with "Barn Find".  This category would not be for the nicest looking car but the most realistic car maybe in a scenario setting.

I've just realized something in my little pea-brain.  I have no where to paint in this freezing weather.  And I am sure you guys may be having the same problem.  So I was thinking of asking you guys what you thought of instead of ending this on April 5th, that we start it on April 5th and adjust the other dates accordingly ?  .....Stroller

Okay I am calling it.  The Custom Car Show Online is postponed till April 5th 2015. Which will be the last day to get your Vintage car entered.

Cool car there Smitty... I am gonna get my tukas handed to me in this show.....lol.


I got my Vintage ready, can't wait to show it...

Custom almost done...painted it in the laundry room...wife not happy...

my Antique needs paint...it can wait...or so I'm told.

 

This is a great chance to try stuff that may not be track fast, but things I've been wanting to try. Thanks Stroller.

how strict are the rules ? ... hot wheels tires and rims are not correct for most antiques [25 years old], holes in hood aren't antique on many cars... what about cars that hot wheels cast already chopped ?

is the year of the car close enough ?  


  • I'll be using Hot Wheels, wheels...whatever fits... — Traction-Event
  • This is a Custom car show so the basic "based on a certain car" should be okay. — Stroller
  • thanks roller. — model40fan

Stroller, another thought here,... maybe entry photos, and a short description could be sent straight to you via e-mail. Then you/RLD can post them, the builders then remain anonymous? I'm sure some builds will reveal their builders... but this might take any bias out of the voting?

Also I think voting should be opened up to anyone on the site, whether they built a car or not. Might help decide some ties?

 

Again thanks for the chance to build some wild rides I've had bouncing around in my head for sometime now....


  • ditto... who knows how many folks check out the stuff but aren't into cutting cars... — model40fan
  • I support both those ideas Chris. They would be good — KandORacing
  • I agree also let's do that...Stroller. I will add it up in the main rules in a while. — Stroller

I'm in. It's been a while since I've done any "just custom" cars so it should be fun.
