W...w...w...wait for me!

 

 

FINALLY pulling up to the starting line in my '55.

 

 

 

 

Definitely not one of my best builds, I tried a lot of things on this one that I've never done before so that's expected to happen. But I had fun, and that's the whole point anyway, right?

 

 

Good luck to everyone in voting!

While there are still 2 hours until the deadline I thought I would chime in now. Well done gentlemen, there are some very nice entries for this years Cannonball, ALL of you have built some great models. My 62 Max Wedge Dart will not be among those competing for the title this year though. I guess I can still wave the green flag and hop on a DC-3 and head out west to wave the checkered flag. I'm still deciding on how I should wrap up this years Cannonball. One thing I do know is that I will not be in charge of a Cannonball for 2013. I really hope the Cannonball continues without me as you are a great group of builders and this CBP has been a lot of fun for everyone the past few years. I will let everyone who has a finished model know what the next step will be in a PM this weekend.

 

Thank you again to everyone involved in the cannonball Run 2012, even if you didn't finish your model, I really enjoyed seeing all of the different ideas that have been posted in this CBP.

Thanks for running this Slant, it was a good time. Its a shame to hear you wont be making  the start line. I was looking forward to see the Dart.

Thanks for hosting this CBP, it was alot of fun. Sorry to hear that you can't make the Dart done, it was very interesting. Hopefully we'll see it finished later.

Aww i missed the deadline, thought i would have made it just had to install the dash and front grill for pics and she would have been done and stuck at work today Michael

[Lunajammer]

What a bummer Michael. Sure would've been good to see your 'goods'. Don't leave us hanging though, be sure to let us see it when you wrap things up.

 

Same with you Slant, sorry you can't make it but that's real life. You have a very compelling start and I'd sure like to see the rest of that kitbash. I don't have the technical knowledge you do so I've been paying attention. If you need any help setting up the polling thread, maybe Jantrix or I can help.

 

Niko, you did another well thought out, well executed build. Great job.

 

MLM I liked your color choices the moment I saw it. I also like your engine detail. I hope when (if) we run this again you will jump in early and take the time to really show us the best of your talent. Well done my friend.

That sounds excellent, I'm in!

[MLMDesign]

Thanks Luna, your vette is a true work of art, it's one of if not the best custom cars I've ever seen in my 21 years of living.

 

If you guys are doing one next uear I'll be in it for sure, like last years (which was my first) this year was a total blast and I look foward to doing another so count me in.

 

Slant, thank you for running it this year and it is a shame you couldn't finish, being a major mopar fan myself. I hope that when you get it finished you'll post it and show it in all it's glory.

 

I look foward to seeing who wins this year, best of luck to everyone. 

 

 

[hvymtl]

OK to Luna and those who made it i will be bringin' up the rear and make sure i have last place sewn up  . But seriously i want to thank Slant for putting this on and feel bad that he too didn't make it either. mine was self inflicted with procrastination and also with a paint job that wouldn't cooperate with me . and a container of purple stuff that would not strip off the paint . then to have it spill all over the floor of my lil room made more fun. Then to lose the dash along with the body , thank goodness i had an unopened kit still stashed for those pieces.this kit was a dream to put together and if anyone hasnt built this car yet i have to say do it .  DSC00304.JPG   121.33K   15 downloads  DSC00308.JPG   105.75K   21 downloads  DSC00311.JPG   127.25K   23 downloads  DSC00314.JPG   92.15K   18 downloads  DSC00303.JPG   110.51K   11 downloads

here are pics of the frame in mockup and of her sitting alongside the street and the under view, plus one with a 63 1/2 Galaxie that i started in 1987 and havent finished yet .

Nick glad to see you taking up the cause for anthoer cannonball, i will be there for sure and who knows maybe get one done .

And i havae to say there have been some really AWESOME looking cars here and it will be tough to see a clear winner Good Luck to all

Well, my Sport Suburban is still in the shop, so I guess I'm out of it for this year. Hopefully, I'll be able to get my act together for next year's event. I might still make the starting line for the "Gumball rally" CBP, though...

[hvymtl]

C'mon Jim i will be there with the 'Tona waiting for that lil 'vair . the shop keeps running me around on the engine so we have to wait for that but the body is going to paint real soon this week hopefully. but i do know how it is. So good Luck Michael

[zenrat]

Thanks Slant & thanks to all you who entered whether you made it to the start line or not.

Now, next year.  Anything goes or another age restriction?

I must admit having to work to a specific set of requirements does focus the mind wonderfully.

[Jantrix]

Maybe come up with a few ideas and then post them up in a poll function.  Let those that want to participate choose?

[Lunajammer]

Speaking of polls....

[SuperStockAndy]

Mike, I thought the same thing but then at the beginning of the thread it says the poll will be on the 8th...the waiting is killing me!

[Nick Winter]

I'm not sure of theme, but will come up with a few idea's and let next years participants choose the theme they like best.

 

Nick

 

If anyone has idea's Speak up, I definitely want to hear them.

[Jantrix]

Okay so..............to date................we have run five of these now correct? And they have been............

 

1st - Unlimited

2nd- Unlimited

3rd - Route 66 theme

4th - 1981 and earlier 

5th - 1962 and earlier

 

So some possible ideas .............

 

Cannonball Euro (no American vehicles)

Muscle Car mash (1964-74)

Cannonball 2000 (2000 and newer)

another go at unlimited

ummm.............thats all I got.

[BKcustoms]

I like the idea of the Cannonball 2000 since we haven't done a modern one yet but I also like the Euro theme, that could turn out pretty interesting also.
