I've been following this build for a while now in the CBP posts.  Must admit - I had my doubts at first about how this was going to turn out, but you nailed it and the final product looks great!

You have my vote!

Thanks guys,... had alot of fun with this one !

Dan, yeah the paint job,.. it started out as an attempt (with a new airbrush) to make it look like a large Australian gekko,...:wacko:

but it came out looking like a northern Ontario perch...:lol:  

We have a family cottage near Perth, Ontario,...hence the Perth Perch (also, of course, the Aussie tie-in)

Cheers all

Happy Ho Ho too

Incredible build Bruce, it was awesome to watch it unfold in the build tread.

Front to back that's one heck of a truck you got there, very nicely done!

Congrats Bruce on a well run race! The result is most appropiate as both vehicles were well built for the job. This was my first CannonBall and I had a blast!

Cheers Misha
