Post Your DIY Build - Forum Contest!

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1457979117.png

The Contest:

It's time for us to celebrate the amazing DIY build threads that we see and appreciate everyday. In honor of all your efforts, we will be selecting the top 10-20 build threads created on our Pelican Parts forums (Peach Parts and 986 forum qualify) from the ones you nominate, and let YOU vote on the top 3. The winners will receive Pelican Parts Gift Certificates to help fund their build or get started on a new car project in the amounts of $1,000 for First Place, $500 for Second Place and $250 for Third Place. Both historical and new threads qualify!

To Enter:

1. Create a thread around the story and progress of your build for the model of your car.

2. Ensure your thread has:

- At least one build update to demonstrate progress along the way.

- Both text and photo documentation of your build progress.

- Video documentation is welcome but not required.

3. Nominate your thread (or have a friend nominate you) by posting a comment below with the build thread link.

- If you’ve already created a build thread and it meets the qualifications above, you CAN nominate it for the contest. You just need to post one update as of March 8, 2019 or later (even if that update is to say, ‘Hi, here’s my thread, vote for me.’).

- You don’t have to be currently working on the build to submit it. Any build you are or have already worked on qualifies, as long as it’s documented in a thread that you create or have created in our forums.

To Vote:

- We will select a top 10-20 finalists depending on the number of submissions we receive and notify everyone when voting will commence.

- There will be a poll posted to the top of this thread that will allow you to vote for your favorites.

If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to send us a PM.

This is the build I want to nominate (and I don't like the term "build"). Amazing thing is that he builds them....then SELLS them! The joy is clearly in the creating. Amazing what Jim does in a two bay garage. John/CT

My build was so massive it blew up my thread, so it is continued in this one along with a link in the first post to the original thread that blew up...

My first and last one :D Just kidding, I have total of 6 P-cars and 3 of them are projects but here's my home-brew-singer-wannabe (even though build of my car started like 5 years before Singer was formed, of course the fact that it has taken so long is not something to be proud of :P ) :

This one is one of my favorites: It's a down and dirty DIY build with a lot of drama, heartbreak, and as far as I can tell, a successful ending. Don't think he's been on the forum for a few months, but perhaps a thread bump is in order.

1976 911S from garage find to on the road

Also would like to nominate BennyObscene's wrap thread. Great videos and ambitious project.

Did someone say prize money?

Born in '75 me and my 911S

I'll play! God knows I could do with the money! :)

Cheers!

Nominating my DIY 1972 Turbo Outlaw Build

From a 20+ year slumber find in an old German guys garage to road tripping from the Midwest to Rennsport Reunion in a little over two years. Everything DIY by me, labor of love!

1972 911 with 1986 Turbo Motor installed in 1990!

If nothing else, this thread creates a great compendium of all the amazing build threads on this board. But maybe there should be a sub-category for white 911s.
