This will be an 8-month after-hours build between the two shops to build the baddest wagon possible! The cars were chosen and by a flip of the coin Team House of Hotrods will be building a 1956 Buick Wagon and Team LenMar will be building a 1958 Buick Wagon. We will be keeping this blog up to date with day by day progress including photos and videos when the time is right.
With every challenge there are rules so here's how this will go down. Both teams will receive their vehicles late this week. There are 4 major rules that they must abide by:
#1-Cars must have working a/c and heat
#2-Cars must have working power steering
#3-Cars must have working power windows
#4-Cars must have working exterior door handles (no door poppers)
House of Hotrods Chad "Critter" Mahone will be amongst the people who are "Neutral" in this contest and he will be designing the interiors as well as painting both cars. Each team will have a $15,000.00 budget for parts and they are allowed sponsors.
The judging system will be a multi-part process based on the following criteria:
-10pts will be awarded to the team who's car has the best 0-60sec time
-10pts will be awarded to the team who's car has the best 60-0sec time
-20pts will be awarded to the team who's car has the best 1/8th mile time (2 out of 3)
-10pts will be awarded to the team who's car does the best on the autocross
-10pts will be awarded to the team who's car does the best on the road course
-25pts will be awarded to each team based on the drive ability
-20pts will be awarded to the team who's car has the best interior
-20pts will be awarded to the team who's car has the best paint scheme
-30pts will be awarded to the people's choice which judging will be held at Goodguys in Oct
-50pts will be awarded to the team who's car yields the most money when sold
That brings us to the deadline: Cars must be completed by October 1, 2010 in time to drive to the Goodguys Show. This is a no trailer contest meaning that the cars must drive to and from the events listed above.
