10-years ago, Jantrix (Rob Mattis) started the community build project that invites racers to build cars for a cross country race that pays homage to Brock Yates' Cannonball-Baker Sea to Shining Sea Memorial Trophy Dash and welcomes the creativity of the Cannonball Run movies. It's followed by a poll which represents "the race" with forum voters determining who wins. It started on the Scale Auto forum, but when that site no longer supported the needs of this CBP, it found a welcoming home here at MCM forum. Before we end 2017, I'm posting photos of all the finishers from all years. I was able to salvage most photos, but due to the sands of time and the infernal mooks at Photobucket, I couldn't gather them all. Some archive photos are low resolution. If you see a crappy, pixilated pic of your model, please PM me a nice photo and I'll swap it out. Cannonball 2018, (sub-theme Inline Engines) will begin soon in the Community section. 2008 001slick001 wagonmaster VWDave92 Jantrix Zenrat (WINNER) crazyhorse classic plastic

This is neat. Seems like you can do anything with a model T truck and it won't be implausible. Nice work.

Oh yeah, you'll settle right in. Now you're seeing why me, Bruce and all those in the snow belt call it "model building season."

I like it. I think the unusual color choice is right in line with what a mile custom of the era might have. Paint play was really taking shape and anything that grabbed peoples' attention was desirable. Nice finish too.

That looks pretty good all the way around. A wonderful factory stock subject. Reminds of when I drove one of these summer of '98 as a courtesy driver for the local GM dealer. Good times.

Fun story. But that really looks rough. I don't know how much sentimental value it has to you, but yes, pretty rough.

Bee-ooo-teee-ful!

Pretty good. All around well done. I especially like the color you used on the interior. Steering wheel, gross!

HUH?

Casey sent me a missing bumper/taillight piece. I really needed it and he just up and gave it to me. Now I'm lookin' how to pay it forward.

KInd words Randy. It's a shame Photobucket had to undermine our racers' hard work by dropping the links to half the photos, so late readers miss much of what this thread was about. It's also very kind of you to offer sponsored awards.

Sorry, I found this in my "Misc." file and thought it needed to go here.

Nice work. Your wheel choice really gives it personality. I like the dio background too, pretty believable commercial garage.

CONGRATULATIONS BELUGAWRX (Bruce Coy) for winning this year's Cannonball Run CBP. Right out of the gate, his '70 Barracuda was hard to keep up with. He took the lead and kept it all across America. Special recognition for DOMINIK (Dominik Weitzer), in his Mercedes 300 SLR who was the only one who had a chance to catch the leader and stayed within site the entire distance, but couldn't make his pass before the Redondo Beach finish line. Well done to all who participated and, of course, to Jantrix for spearheading the CBP and for inspiring us to put forth our best efforts. You all get pink participation ribbons .

Last chance to vote for your ONE favorite model in the Cannonball Run CBP. Winner will be declared Sunday. Back slaps and insincere well wishing to follow.

So smooth. Nice billet touches. I like this.

Your builds are always perfectly clean and precise. Super job! You may not think the supercharger is a big mod, but it sure makes a difference. Well done my friend.

Outstanding! I think you should add some shots to the Finished Builds thread so it will be on record as having finished with a group of champions. It's not unusual, especially in busy years, to have finished builds added later. I'll close voting and declare a winner tomorrow. It will have been ten days since the deadline and seven since the race "start."

So on Sunday the poll will have been up a week. Think that's enough? Add a "last chance" bump to the invite thread in the General section on Sat?

Cool conversation, but you guys are gonna have this poor guy so confused he'll be wiring his radiator.
