  1. Hello! No worries about making a change to your project. I will update the entry list to reflect your new build.
  2. It's great to see so many varied builds coming along nicely!
  3. Looks to be interesting build! As for the cutouts, I would surmise that the fronts would most likely be to alleviate the air pressure within the fender; the rear, with proper ducting, may be for rear brake cooling (the fronts seem to have their ducting in the front air dam).

  5. Welcome to this year's Cannonball! The Run will end on December 1st, 2023 and final voting begins on December 3rd, 2023. So you still have about 9 1/2 months of build time.
  6. I believe that 3D printing is great tool for the hobby; and it's great to see it being used to bring some of the CBR entrants' ideas to fruition!

  16. Lot's of styrene being posted today! Nice!
  17. You can certainly enter your Chevelle.
  18. If I'm understanding correctly, you would like to install a V12 in the Dodge. If so, then yes, engine swaps are definitely allowed. I'm planning an H12 in a Delorean!

  21. You'll be fine with your Falcon!
  22. We definitely have a great variety of vehicles for the race!
  23. My provisional entry to the Cannonball will be the Delorean DMC-12. However, it is certainly not going to be a straightforward build as the only kit available (at least as I could find) of the Delorean is the Back to the Future version. Mine is the offer from Aoshima and is quite a nice kit; even if I'm only going to be using a small amount of it. The main work is going to focus around the engine. The original DMC-12 uses a rear-mounted V6; a similar set-up to a Porsche 911. This is great for packaging, but I'm not a fan of having all the engine weight behind the rear axle line. The challenge here is the Y-frame as the engine, realistically, can only be oriented in this manner so that the transmission fits into the narrow part of the Y. But, it seems that, in the real world, some builders have modified this to fit V8s and EV conversions. There is one that has been converted to a front-engine, rear-drive configuration. Therefore, with real-life precedents set, I will be attempting to convert the car into a mid engine layout. This, of course, creates its own challenges, especially the transmission/transaxle and its location relative to the rear wheels. The potential solution that I've found is in the Ferrari Testarossa that uses a flat-12 engine with a unique transmission and transaxle that may just give me enough room fit the engine. That's the plan...Hopefully, if all goes well, the car should be the DMC-H12.
  24. Great to have you in the race! I'm looking forward to the end result!
  25. The '22 Cannonball saw 43 entrants. I'm hoping that we'll have even more this year! Our preliminary list of entrants: 1. '55-'57 Chevy (426 pack) 2. Chevy Silverado C5R truck (Mattilacken) 3. Chevy Monza 2+2 (MeatMan)
