1980 Porsche 911 Targa Carrera Targa Outlaw After a four-month build, I’m pleased to add my 911 to the completed Cannonball builds. The goal of the car was to make an outlaw 911 that retained the refinement of a Porsche, but still held some “grit” of a purpose-built Cannonball entrant. Initially, the idea was a simple straight from the box build with modified colors. But, as the build progressed, I wanted to make a full outlaw. So, the body was simplified with the removal of bumper trim and rear bumperettes. The body itself received a non-factory muted green color (Tamiya grey-green) with metallic grey and matte black trim and accents. The interior received a two-tone black and tan color scheme to compliment the exterior. Seat belts were added with 3D-printed seat belt guides and anchors securing them. The engine is where the greatest modifications took place. The exhaust and ITBs were designed in Fusion360 (as were all 3D-printed parts) and printed. The exhaust itself is tubular and removes the heater core for greater performance. The intake is composed of six individual throttle bodies with fuel injection. Furthermore, an oil cooler was placed in the front bumper and fully plumbed into the engine. Additionally, clutch linkage was added underneath. Printed oil tank, oil thermostat and clutch linkage were made. Ignition wires, throttle linkage, fuel lines and oil lines complete the engine. Finally, the wheels were modeled on the classic Campognolo wheels and printed to fit the kit tires. Specs: Kit: Revell Porsche 911 Targa 3.2 Carrera Targa Exterior Paint: Tamiya Grey-Green, metallic grey and matte black Aftermarket: various wires and photo etch from Detail Master and Gofer racing, Evergreen and Plastruct plastic stock, BMF decal paper 3D Print: wheels and valve stems, oil tank and thermostat, clutch linkage, ITBs and linkage, full exhaust, ignition coil, fuel filter Thank you for looking and critiques are always welcome!

Hello fellow Cannonballers! I recently joined the forum (though, I've been a peruser for some time) after discovering it while researching for a build. I then discovered the forum's Cannonball...and being a lifelong Cannonball lover, I had to enter. So, my entry for this year is a 1980 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa Outlaw.
