I'd LOVE to know the rest of THIS story. What kind of mock-up was it, cardboard? Who won it? Did they really deliver it in a rocket carryin' Super Guppy? What happened to it? 29 second prizes, 600 third prizes of a 6-pack of models. Life was good.

I vote for myself twice. For the record Erik, that Challenger looks so good, if you removed the background it could pass for real. I'm usually in awe of the precision and realism of your details. Looking forward to the full walk-around.

Prior to reorganizing, it took my vote too, but when I returned later it did not show my vote. At the far right right where it shows the number of people who voted for a model, click on the number or the little man and it will show you who voted for that model. If you don't see your name on the model you voted for, then vote again.

Okay, I think I remedied the problem. It's all coming back now from last year. The poll is set up like a question and you click on the answers. The question is, "which is your favorite choice." But only five answers are allowed for each question so we have to spread the nine entries over three questions, or groups. The problem is each group or "question" requires an answer or the poll won't work for you. I've restacked the lineup to include a "none of the above" option so you need to select your model then in all the other groups "none of the above." To complicate things each time I make a polling edit, one of the models goes away and I have to re-enter it again.

There are a lot of builders who participated in the 2017 Cannonball Run CBP down in the Community section. Not everybody was able to finish but ALL gave it their best. All forum members are invited to take a look at the beauty shots and descriptions of the entries HERE, then VOTE for your one favorite finisher at the poll HERE. You do not need to have participated in the CBP in order to vote, so come on down. To vote, choose ONLY ONE OF THE NINE MODELS. In all other groups select "none of the above." The polling function requires responses in each group but we're asking you to only vote for 1 of the nine models. Thanks for your participation.

Okay everybody the poll is up HERE. Good luck to all finishers and may the most popular vote getter win! (Heh). I'll leave it up for as long as there appears to be activity.

Choose only ONE of the nine finishers. In all other groups click the last dot. The polling function requires a selection in each group so the last dot has been set up to allow you to vote in a group without voting for more than one model overall. One click for each section, but you should be voting for only ONE model overall. Please click HERE to take a look at all the beauty shots of the finishers and read what they have to say about their projects. All forum members are invited to vote. This was the 10th Anniversary Cannonball Run CBP. You're invited to see how it came together in the 2017 Cannonball Run thread in the Community section. Though it was an open build, meaning there was no restrictive themes, builders were invited to give some nod if they wanted to Brock Yates, who passed away this year, and who established the Cannonball Sea to Shining Sea Memorial Trophy Dash.

Well, that's another great year of Cannonballing. Well done everybody, it's a nice line up of finishers. Erik, if you get that Challenger buttoned up we'd sure like to see it. I will get the poll set up in the next couple days. I will look for some feedback from you guys about that shortly, since the polling feature only allows five choices per group or question. But I'll get into that more after I have some time to play around with it.

Corvette ZR-1 proof of concept research vehicle. Modified to be a mobile platform for a Nitrous Turbolene Generator, the highly volatile and hypothetical fuel additive that can expand fuel milage and efficiency many time over in a conventional internal combustion engine. Chief research lab is Yates Technologies, with generous sponsorship from other technology funds and the Science Channel. AMT Corvette • Nose modified with 64 Riviera grill • Nascar rims on kit tires • Home made decals • Cabin includes two very important technological doo-hickeys (it's an industry term).

Beautiful, traditional look. I love it. Nice BMF work too.

I think that was a design inspired by futurist Syd Mead, or at least he had a hand in presenting the design.

Done. Whew. Beauty pics coming tomorrow after I sort through them and get them uploaded to Fotki.

Different is good. Wouldn't mind seeing more pics.

I think the honor system would suggest the cutoff time to be Friday, Dec. 1st, midnight PM in the time zone in which you reside, since that's probably how we all started. But I don't think anyone plans to police participants' time zones so as long as you're done by the time we rise the next morning, there shouldn't be any complaints.

Sorry to hear that Karl. Would like to have seen that Camaro at the starting line. I've been sick for almost a week but I finally saw a doctor yesterday and with some horse pills I'm on the quick mend. I've dabbled with the corvette slightly but I've got all day today to work on it and plan to do a lot of catch up. Pics soon.

Wow. I can't get past the word "beast." I think you're going to leave all of us behind on the central plains. Cool rig.

Hands down the worst! If you're talking about box art and not the model itself, this is horrible. Terrible picture of the model, bad photoshopping and too much photobombing by the artist and/or his pals. The model takes up only maybe 18-percent of the cover from an angle you can't get much info from, for what? So the rest of space can be used to showcase this hack's artistic license?

There are still albums I'd like o download from Photobucket. I was certain I'd grabbed whole albums before, but now I don't see it. Can anyone coach me how to do this without having to do it picture by picture?

Well, the secret weapon is the Nitrous Turbolene Generator, which creates the fuel enhancement Turbolene on a mobile platform and is burned in a conventional internal combustion engine. I could go on, but it's all very technical you understand... very technical. I got very little done this weekend. With the exception of Thanksgiving family obligations, I've been in bed sick since Friday. Really rough cold or flu or something. But I did get another color on the Corvette body before all that.

Jantrix can clarify, but I understand it to mean if you use more than one engine, all cylinders of those inliners must be in line, no?

Don't forget the silent, lurking masses.

It's squashed on my end too, but it's just because the photo is oversized. If you widen your browser window it fills out correctly. The Lincoln's definitely cool, but I love stylized look of the hot rod.

But we won't hold you to that.

Okay, this is right up there with the most out of the box ideas I've seen. Challenging too, to convince viewers how the centaur works. Bravo.
