Should be a winner!

Nice concept! Clearly a lot of work went in to getting you where you are. I absolutely love that front end work!

Nice classic build!

Love the builds, love the dio!

Nice!

Yeah, I had a Porsche fanatic check me a few years ago. I still tick him off by saying it the American way!!

I agree, nice frame rail fix! I love those Fairlanes as well. Cyclones too!

Nice rod!! I love the detail.

Welcome Jim!

Very nice! Love the paint.

I'm way too jealous to talk coherently now... Really nice setup!

Very nice work!! You should give yourself a name for us to call you. No, not a bad name, we can think of that ourselves!

Good luck Aaron. I started mine and had some paint issues this past summer. I hope to get it back together this winter. Which way are you going to build it?

Wow! Now we're cooking with gas!!

Nice detail work!!

I like it too! I'm a bit of a swapaholic and this is right down my alley. Well built!

If this or another nonstandard idea is used, I think clarity needs to be part of the instructions. I think the off-road part of this years Cannonball scared some folks off, especially seeing the early starters putting out some models that looked strictly off-road as opposed to multi-purpose. Think of the cars from the Cannonball Run movie. Everything from a Rolls to a Lambo. The course isn't as important as the car (and the strategy)! With my Land Cruiser I focused on (real-life) durability, fuel economy and availability, and survivability. As far as a kit went, I didn't want to do a lot of fab work, thus an SUV. I just hope 2017 has more entrants than 2016, and everyone is realistic about their time. In the meantime, I'm loving the ride!!

Nice job Floyd!!

Very nice job! I love conversions and this is a fine example of one.

Love that tin work! The tires are sweet as well.

Hey Jason, nice work on the body. I think the newer JF bodies might be better than the older ones, and the interior and chassis are great additions! May I ask what steps you took to get the body smoothed? What grit did you start with? Thanks.

Nice build! Takes me back to those days.

Although I've only participated in two runs I feel I must speak out, I'm not a fan of the 50% build. What is 50%, and who determines that? I think it opens a can of worms best left in the ground. I support extending the deadline this year since there was only one finished build, but come on guys - procrastination (or other priorities), not lack of time was the problem. I think going with unlimited should bring enough interest to bring participation back up. Like it was mentioned in a previous reply - if you want a sleeper build, then build one. Like I wanted a vintage run, if I want to enter one I can build one. Personally I don't actually participate to win, I love the back and forth and seeing other builds. There was not a lot of that throughout the year. For what its worth that's my 2 cents (not counting inflation).

Sweet build Randy!!

Nice choices. I can attest to the Land Cruiser as I built the off road version for the Cannonball Run CBP. I was impressed by the fit and quality of the kit.
