I believe we have come to a consensus when five have come up with more or less the same idea with variations. How does this sound? All cars before 1975 are allowed. All engines available 1975 and before are allowed. Poweradders, turbos and superchargers available 1975 and earlier are ok as long as no EFI with modern computer tuning. Wheels should resemble 1975 and earlier but can be larger in diameter and width. Tires are free if they are street legal.

Sweet scratch building as always! Will look good when done! I have gotten so picky so i print tons of stuff since i dont have your patiense and maybe time since i have to small kids running around at home

Thanks! the carpet is a wet tissue that i washed and cut in to shape and after gluing it down with white glue i painted it. Made more sense to me to do it that way since i had a race car floor that would cover strangly with flocking. I some times get to much shadow i can see with my detail painting but to the naked eye it looks good. Yes its a current project: Impala SS 1996 Pro Street 4 seater - Page 4 - WIP: Model Cars - Model Cars Magazine Forum BTW, check it out, i have done allot of wiering and plumbing but lots that I still want to do. And i just made decals for cage inspection as well as new decals for the harnesess Thanks, Anton

Thansk David! you saw a full story there! Thats realy cool! Here is some other details that wont be seen on my Impala SS. The key made out of some misc PE from some rally car, is in the egnition on this one and some of the switches are hot.

One of my first completions after getting back was my Porsche GT2 and in it i added a swedish mag on the seat and the key with keyring on the dash.

I believe that’s part of the air inlets.

Paint it black! First paint is on.

Beautifull work as allways Steve! Dash looks spot on! clean work!

Wow sweet print! It would be cool to build such a beast! Dont have much to trade tough.

Thanks! Okay cool, yes they tend to be big and if you want somthing to protect against dust they get even bigger!

I like that, it would also make it perfect to quallify already started CBR builds, such as my race truck for the 3 time..

Here is a inspiration for you all! Louie Mattars Non stop tripp from Los-angeles to New York and back in 1952! No speed reckords was probobly sett but he did not stop, not even for a flat tire! Found out about him in a Swedish automotive magazine where they did a 7 page feature of him, his Cadillac and his escapades! Here is an other article in english: More than 70 years ago, Louie Mattar drove 6320 miles non-stop in his fantastic perpetual motion machine - Hagerty Media Here is the article in swedish, should be able to read with google translate on your phone. Or just look at the pics. Non-stopp genom usa louie mattars fantastiska cadillac - 28 Mar 2024 - Wheels Magazine - Readly

1 of Januari my friend! please help by picking the subject in the other thread!

I have an Idea that anything availible in 1975, new or used is allowed. Same goes for engine and other mods. But if it has been done in 1975 in any cattegory say turbos, porsche had OEM turbos in 1974, so anything tubo is good, but LS came in 1997 and would not been around so no LS swaps. But nascar engines of any year as long as its not modern EFI would be good. And the thing i would say is ok is say wheels, if you want to go larger diameter and modern tires do so. Whats your thoughts on that?

Hi all! So in just 13 days the 2025 CBR is on! So we need to pick a theme quickly! It is 50years since the 1975 edition of Cannonball Run ran, so its an aniversary for sure! So bring som ideas that will give many buildes options in building!

Hi all! Thanks for all the congratulations! And first of all, thanks Enzo for the last 2 years! It has been fun to build along! I have spoken to Enzo and I will make the 2025 CBR hapen, its 50 years since the run in 1975 so its an aniversary! I will do so of course if its fine with everybody else! I will start the suggestion thread for topic now and then we decide probably with a pol if there isn’t a clear winner in the thread. Hope to see all of you participating and hopefully more since it’s a 50th anniversary CBR! And remember! We love to se as many as possible to reach the finish line, but just as in the real CBR things happen. And suddenly you have that deer standing in the middle of the road and staring into your headlights and you suddenly find yourself stranded in a ditch which makes you miss the Finnish. But its not just about finishing, it’s about the journey! So, I really hope all of you can take part of this anniversary CBR! Best regards Anton

Thank you sir! And thanks every one for competing and participating in this great tradition! And Thank you Enzo (White Rabbit) for making it happen!

Wow! Thanks everyone for your support, both during the build cheering me on as well as voting for it! This forum is a great place and I have learnt a ton of things here! And I keep picking up stuff al the time from all you other members! And thanks Lesley for your help! //Anton

While working on the plumbing the water pump broke as well as the steering pump. So I had to replace them with remans 😉 my rad and IC had to come out so you can see the wires going to the fans.

Cool, thought it was the 1:1 at first 😁

It’s on cults and CGtrader.

Came out great sir! A stunning model of a beautifull car with a nice collor combo! and the detailing is realy nice and delicate

Sweet! Nice progress you are making! Have you seen the new 3D files for '73 chevelle family availble now? Thats a true marvel!

Hey! Did you have some pictures of your finnished interior? I know you put alot of time on it so it would be nice to see it!
