I was a Navy "seabee" for 5 years the "construction" side of the navy thats where I Decided against doing construction for a living, now however doing automotive glass everyday I wonder sometimes would have been better off in construction

I think if everyone on this site is avid ford fans i'm sure there is love for Foxbody mustangs, I think there should be some type of thread/ contest (friendly sort) No real winners, or losers forsay, but jusdge amongst ourselves to see who can build some of the nicest clean Foxes there ever are/ were could even include sn 95 from 94/ 95 as those were still 302 cars,
It can be projects you have already started or are halfway done, i myself have many projects some getting pretty close to done
I will personally put up one of my mpc fox kits as "loot" or prize for whoever the board votes to be the winner there shouldn't be any particular time frame or due date, lets all just start posting our "foxes" in a WIP thread and that will be the thread we use to judge from amongst ourselves as a small community....
I'm open to refinements or suggestions as well categories perhaps *Modified *heavily modified * drag * mostly stock * custom etc
open for other suggestions on the matter as well
Happy Modeling!

this usually gets conversation flowing and gives us styrene peeps a better idea what all of us hard 9or not so hard) workers do in the real world!!
Me I install Automotive glass for Safelite that covers alot door glass, back glass little tiny vent windows pretty much do it all including large tractor trailer 18 wheeler trucks of all varietys
its a real trying job when you have customers that have no covered area of anykind and this time of the year midday feels like a million degree volcano!!
and then winter is opposite the glue sets up way too fast when its cold!! no happy medieum except a few days out of the year down south here when its moderate temps ( does not stay that way long) either too hot, or cold
So tell everyone about yourselves and what your profession and occupations are
