Well, it'll open the option for more people to enter haha.

Very nice builds! Glad you went with quality over quantity.

A-okay with me as well, looking forward to next years run.

Killer Mopar! Very nicely done!

A Merry Christmas to you too Keith! Merry Christmas to all on the forum who celebrate as well!

Greetings fellow members of the MCM forum. This is Jonathan here, host of the 2016 Cannonball (Aussieball) CBP courtly inviting you to check out and cast a vote to decide this years overall winner of our build off. This years theme was a Off-Road theme to add some more fun we have it set in "The Land Down Under". We had 5 completed builds this year, each builder worked vigorously and put a tremendous amount of work in to get them done so lets show them a little love. If you can please spare a minute and roll over here to see the completed builds and cast your vote. 2016 Cannonball (Aussieball) Voting Thread Thank you!

Hey there, so here's a little story/update to end the build. On the 29th pieces of the A-arm suspension started breaking apart, they broke faster then I could repair them so I completely removed them. As such I missed the deadline on the 1st, that was very disappointing. But a few of the other builders put in a motion to increase the deadline to get theirs done so we all agreed to increased the deadline by 2 weeks to the 15th. So I continued on with mine making new plans for it. This time I decided to change the type of build altogether by using and modifying the Jeep's parts. Below are the progress pictures from the 1st to morning of the 15th. So that's where it was mourning of the 15th. After a full day of scrambling I manged to get the rest of it built minus engine detail, or so I thought. With 31 odd minutes left I posted it in the cbp thread and called it a night. I did not realize it until the next mourning but I had completely forgotten install the master cylinder. . . No brakes haha. In the end it was only sitting finished. To all those who looked and commented thank you. See you all in the new year, maybe with a few more builds.

Very nice builds!

Some very fine builds you have there, very nice work.

Very nice builds!

Nice builds!

Sweet builds!

Very nicely done!

Nice group of builds!

Incredible build Bruce, it was awesome to watch it unfold in the build tread. Front to back that's one heck of a truck you got there, very nicely done!

Awesome build! Definitely built to survive the course.

Yeah MCM does count each time a thread is viewed even if it's from the same person, I added five more to it just now to see lol. I think it's safe to assume 40% of the view count will be from the builders checking on the vote. I was guilty of checking every few hours or so last year haha.

Thanks Mike! I agree, awesome builds by everyone, wish I could have voted for all of them. Thanks Bruce! It didn't feel right for me to squeeze mine in when it was only "sitting" finished (no brakes main reason) while you guys had fully finished yours. It's all good, I got the honors of hosting a year and that's more than enough for me. I'll be back again next year though so watch your mirrors. . . All of you.

Voting thread is live. Goodluck to each of you!

Voting thread to decide the winner of the 2016 Cannonball Run CBP. This year we took the race over sea's to Australia, the theme this year was a Off-Road Outback Theme. Builders were tasked with constructing vehicles both capable of traveling Off-Road and also surviving the course. We had a total of 5 completed builds, they will be listed below in order appearing in the poll, we kindly ask that you cast your vote to decide this years winner. To see additional pictures please visit the the completed builds thread here: 2016 Cannonball (Aussieball) Completed Buillds Thread Thank you in advance! Entry #1 MeatMan's Toyota Land Crusier Entry #2 Belugawrx's Chevy AC Delco Entry #3 Jay's Customs '51 Chevy 3100 Entry #4 MLMDesign's '71 Plymouth Duster Entry #5 Misha's '72 Chevy Blazer

Alright everyone with that the 2016 Cannonball run is now closed. We've got 6 builds this year, it was a very tough year in terms of skill. Regardless of how the voting goes you are all winners in my eyes, be proud of yourselves and congratulations on completing some very awesome builds! With that said there are 6 entries. I just got through confirming and polling is still restricted to 5. I can't see the point in two 3v3 choices just to trim 1 car so I'll hold myself to my words and bow out from voting. Mine is still not 100% done, the engine wasn't plumbed and looking at it this mourning I just realized it doesn't have brakes either (who uses them these days anyway right? ). But still it's only sitting finished and everyone's is fully finished so it doesn't feel right to me. One of a couple of curses that has developed for the hosts these past few years I think haha. Though this year instead of being a no-show I'll at least be on the side lines slicing all your tir...I mean rooting for each of you. I was going to run it for 7 days starting on the 18th but 7 days from the 18th is Christmas day and I don't want it to end on Christmas day so I'll bump it to 10 days and run it from the 18th to 11:59pm on the 28th. Most votes wins, naturally. Again major congratulations to everyone on some very fine, and fun looking builds! As we start the final leg of this cbp I would just like to thank Rob for letting me have the honors of hosting this year (scratched off Bucket-list) and I want to thank everyone to joined this year. It was a ton of fun watching your builds unfold and I look forward to what will happen in next years. I know I wasn't the best but I hope I wasn't the worst host either and while I wont end the entry curse (that's Robs duty next year ) I will end the curse of not the host not finishing their duties as host of this fine cbp. God willing I'd love to host again in a later year if the spot is ever open. Thank you again and good luck everyone.

With 31 odd minutes to spare my entry is done. I'll get some finalized pictures done tomorrow. I would like to quickly note that you have until 11:59pm in your respective time zones to get your builds done. Misha if you're out there that means you have still have 3 hours and 26 odd minutes to get it done and announced here. Good luck! See you all at the line! Edit: Scratch that Misha, just saw your post in the completed builds, nice work!

Nice tough looking builds Jeremy and Matthew! Whelp, we're down to the last 12 hours and few odd minutes of the 2016 Aussieball. We've got 4 finished builds and a few still in limbo. Godspeed and good luck in these final hours to anyone still building. To those who have completed congratulations! This year was quite possibly the most skill demanding theme to date. The limited pool of parts meant so many of us used the same donor kit but in spite of that each of you made yours unique, be very proud of yourselves and of your accomplishment. : )

Sorry to hear that Jesse and Brayden, you two had some slick builds going. Definitely keep us posted on them! Looking good Misha! All mine is lacking is some engine detail, skip plates and the roo bar. It's upside down right now while the body and frame glue together. Should be done either Tuesday, or Wednesday.

Congrats on the finishing Bruce! That's one heck of a truck you've made. Goodluck in the race!
