Great trucks gang, some real inspiring builds.

Sorry, for so many pictures in the first post, the body is pretty much stock. The paint is Ppg waterborne med blue from the 1972 Gm colour lineup.

This is my build for the cannonball run this year the theme was sleepers. I used a a Ferrari 599 gto from revell for the underneath including the engine, transmission, exhaust, brakes and tires. The white walls were used to fill the gap between the stock caps and Ferrari tires. The wooden bed was made to hide the trans and exhaust. Other than the rear wheel wells the interior is stock with the exception of the steering wheel it's from 69 Camaro and the paddle shifters from the Ferrari.

Wow, that wagon is nice! I really like the painted Chrome and colour choices for the body. So clean.

What every it's called Outbackrun, Aussieball sounds like great fun. Count me in, it would have been my first choice anyway. The 2 years I have been participating have been a lot fun!

I'm so glad to see you back on this and moving forward, the chassis and exhaust are amazing.

That car turned out so beautiful, extremely photogenic. The rear 3/4 shot really shows how the lines flow.

This is my Cannonball (sleeperball) run for this year, started with the amt '72 blazer and revell 599 gto. Started by shortening the Gto chassis cutting a section out of the middle to fit the blazer body. Other than that the exhaust needed no mods to fit. The blazer runs the gto engine, transaxle and suspension. The brakes and tires are also stock gto I really wanted to keep the power to the ground, and stopping ability. The Blazer is lowered to keep the axles in line with the wheels. I had to make a new rear bed floor to hide the transaxle and exhaust. By keeping the stock Ferrari running gear meant using paddle shifters so I painted body Colour to camouflage them into the dash. Paint is ppg waterborne GM med blue from 1972. Thanks for looking, I had a blast building along with the great builders in this cbp

I'm doing the sameting Bruce, took these picture and didn't realize the windshield had slid down in the corner. Oh well I still have tonight

These are the last of my update pictures, probably won't get the final pictures posted until tomorrow but other than the wheels it's done. Great work done by all of the other builders its going to be tough voting. Thanks for looking.

I'm just about done as well, I have to get material to make seat belts today. Other than that just small detailing and some decal work tonight and photos tomorrow.

I thought the way we had the poll was fine, if there is a clear winner run with that. By the way Rob thank you for taking over the thread and setting up the poll.

Dale, turned out amazing the design, fit and finish just great. It's going to be a top competitor!

I'm building the blazer for the cannonball run having a lot of fun with it. Looking forward to more of your progress on these builds.

fantastic work Mike and Bruce, both the pt cruiser and Impala are amazing. Looking forward to seeing those done.

Just posting a couple of update picture of of my build. I still have to paint the body and detail, but I still believe I will be able to get it done in time.

Keep up the great work Jonathan, I can't believe that you got much body work done in that short of time. Looking forward to seeing it when finished.

Fantastic work Jonathan and Mike. I have to say I really think this might be the best cannonball run yet, some really amazing builds this year.

Well Pat this little smart car turned out awesome, still trying to wrap my mind around how you managed to get that engine and suspension under that thing and still have an interior in it. Any way great work, hope to see you at the starting line.

That Delahaye is amazing Vesa, the detailing on the motor and chassis is some great work.

I haven't seen anything like that before, it's pretty awesome.

Thanks Walter I followed the your instructions but still get stuck on the loading page

I have been trying to up load photos from photobucket the way it I used to, by using direct then copy and paste in the insert other media tab below here. It just looks like it loading but the pics never appear. It just keeps loading for hours. Tried different computers Google Chrome nothing seems to work. Did I miss something when the format switched. Thank you for any help someone can provide. I can put up a photo from the iPad but when erase the picture from the pad ( it's not mine) it disappears. The is a screenshot of the loading wheel.

Just posting a couple of update pictures, I have the engine, drive train, suspension, brakes and interior all fitted. I should have all of the above primed and painted this week. I Made a new rear floor to clear the transmission. I had to keep the truck lowered so the axle would lineup. Kept the GTO brakes and tires so I made white walls to fill the wheels.

That is some great looking work Bruce. Looking like your gonna make it in plenty of time.
