    This is the section to post your build threads. I enjoy reading and learning from build threads and offing opinions and/or help.

    I have some great things planed for threads with a big following and for reaching certain post counts. This will be announced at a later date.

    Sign up, start your build thread and be rewarded for it.

    Build threads can be as mild as you talking about and showing pictures of minor maintenance or your vehicle. It can be as wild as a fully modified car or truck for the street or dirt.

    I'm adding to the offer.

    The first to 150 will get the $25 (We will change this to $25 on PayPal to make it easy and fast for members to receive the money.)

    Gearhead Central will also offer a promotion to "Founding Member" level to the first 5 members to get a build thread to 100 replies.

    Have a race team? Post a build thread for your race car, post about your races, repairs and so on. Posting pictures will give your sponsors a little more exposure which may help you pick up or keep them. A race car build thread qualify for the $25 offer and the larger ones that will follow as threads grows.

    Too bad my Mustang is just a standard build. Although I am working on altering it.

    You can still do a thread showing any work you do to it. Show any maintenance you do and talk about and show mods as you do it. That would still qualify.

    I added to the prize list in the second post. You will now win t shirt ($25 value) with the other prizes. This brings the prize value to about $60.

    Well what are we waiting for? That is a perfect project for an exciting build thread. That $25 is just the start. As the site and build threads go, there will be bigger gifts made available to members.
