Hey Jeff. I'm not really sure what the 24 hr. build is all about. Something I'm not sure I can do, since I can't build anything box-stock...but I'm going to try ;D Stay up all nite & build. Must be an unstarted kit, no snappers. 4 parts can be glued to body ahead of time, parts can be washed also. Body must be painted. That's about it!

Thanks again Willie. I get it now. I don't know if I could build a kit in 24 hrs. And yes, I am a member over at TMM. Sounds like it could be fun, though.

This is what i'm gonna give a shot at i'm hoping to just finish up the frame down due to the amount of scratch building that will go on and yes the engine too the tires are from a Jada diecast Hummer they measure out to around 54" and look alot like the Interco Super Swamper TSL's yeah i know they done make those in 54" but hey its just a model heres the kit im using and a quick mock up of the stance im going for
