Tossing my hat in the ring...
I'm building a '60s off-brand Ross built tanker for RRB Buildoff 6!
(Pics soon! My computer got hit by a nasty virus that took out the Windows Registry on April 29! coming home from the doctor tonight! )
The background: Where I live, we have a nuclear power plant in the next town (6 miles away), a US Navy fast-attack submarine base, and a plant where the submarines are built and tested on sea trials. We also have one of the largest highway and rail bridge crossings in the state- the last part of the rail line between Boston and New York to have been completed. Combined with the US Coast Guard Academy and homeport of their tall ship, Eagle, our city was thought of during the Cold War as a critical target.
Our local college radio station refers to themselves as "Ground Zero Radio"... so there's the name for my buildoff bike.
She'll be too black and too orange, too fat and too fast... can't wait to get to building.
Good luck to all the builders!
