Thank you for voting! As always, be sure to vote fairly and honestly, as well as for your favorite!

Cheers,
Kyle and the Xmodsource Staff.

Was between black supra, red 'maro, and R33 for me, but IMO R takes the cake for clean exterior and interior. Camaro would be #2 and supra #3 solely because there's little work involved w/ that one.

[XMDrifter]

i like the r33. second coice would be the SUT and the 3rd would be the supra painted by bondo-owned by 123vette

r33 cuz it's got dedication in it

sut second because though the conversion is clean and very nice, but not original.

3rd is the supra because though it is original and looks very good, it's not 12vette's own paintjob. it's somebody else's work.

[KITT222]

I liked soooo many! That SUT is so clean! the Cameo is ingenious, and the R33 lookes so clean! Yet in my mind, That Camaro was soo clean, and perfect, that I went with that!

They all look excellent! Wish I would've had a few more votes...

[mr.hotrod]

0 votes two cotms in a row i have to step up my game:lol:

[blue504life]

i voted kitt, the car is just cool, might not be the best looking car in the comp but its cool (try to contact the owners of the real thing and sell it to them)

by the way, my entry is a F-1 not a F-100

Thanks! I know, the decals didnt come out as well as i had hoped, but regadless, it's ok. Oh, and about the real thing. Its totaled. rammed it into a large cement block. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slvZufAfBvc&feature=player_embedded) < please excuse the sucky quality. Its the only video I found. The owner of the car (in orange-he wasnt driving) was infuriated. He now hates Bullrun prducers, Speed channel, and the Bullrun editors, so I don't think they'd like it very much!

[firebird999]

i had too much stuff to do, remembered this on the 30th, worked for 5 minutes, realized it was 6:30, ran outside to take pics, and that's why my truck is not as good as most other entries. but wait 'til next time. i'll try to put in more effort. after all, i have part of may out from school.

[FloydfanYodaman]

first off i applaud everyones effort in the COTM...what an amazing selection and range of entries...i was stuck with a final 5 to choose from...makes me wish we didnt have to choose just 1, i always feel like i am screwing the rest of the crew...and then got down to a final 2...after several eeni meeni minee mo's and a few more coin tosses i final went with Skysthelimit...chassis is simple yet modded and clean, body is immaculate, concept and execution are flawless, and the effort was def there...and finally the tie-breaker for me was the beautiful pics...very realistic......also i have never had the opportunity to vote for him...another of my voting criteria...someone diff each month if its appropriate

[winner]

[Skv012a]

My tip #1 would be to paint the trims and details. This is a visual competition, so I don't know why some of you choose to omit these simple elements. IMO id you don't paint the body itself, but add the trim it already looks alive.

[rcxmoddagger]

most of them were great entries this month, although bondos truck did look very real, i didnt vote becuz of the door lines, door handles, and the bed, they did NOT look factory. i went with blue504's 1950 ford f1, becuz i do lo9ve all fords, and his caught my eyes. good luck to all.

[spitfire]

I decided to vote for 123vette. To me its a paint job thats never been done to a supra. And ****! does it look good.

[bigez]

i had to go with bondo becuse i think that is the cleanest sut converson i have ever seen nice and good luck to the rest

[SkysTheLimit]

Wow, this month had a very wide variety of great entries. I am still undecided on which to vote for! Still need some time.

Thank you all who have voted for me so far, and for those who place their vote in for me in the future! I really appreciate it; makes me happy to know that you appreciate the time, dedication and minute details put into the vehicle.

Thanks again!

[fiberworkz]

I voted blue504life.
His truck looks very nice and it is the best he has done so far IMO.

[THE EDJ]

That R-33 looks great. One of the cleanest xmod's I've ever seen. Nice work.

[merc3des]

Donzii, can you get on AIM, I have to talk to you, I made an oopsies, big time, big time.

[Donziikid]

All votes need to be cast by tomorrow!

Cheers,
Kyle.

[Stampedekid]

Tough comp but I voted c1v1c because a solid axle rear XMOD is just sweet!
