2014 Cannonball Run CBP

[Pim]

Interesting idea as for my entry I am currently painting parts for the interior and chassis. For the interior I am planning a race/stripped out look with a six point roll cage,race seats and detachable steering wheel

P.S cool idea for next year's run

[wrecker388]

An idea for next years run.

Hmm... I better keep that twin pod-racer engine powered 53 Corvette idea I have off of the bench for a while...

No updates on the GTO. I've been working on Pap's C10 model for his birthday Saturday pretty diligently.

Hey guys my gto is progressing nicely but I have a couple of quick questions are you allowed to have only 1front seat and also can I have a GPS screen in the car or do I have to make a 1\24 road directory?

[JTalmage]

I put the General back in the box for a while. Still havent got my parts from another member on here. I'll either be retiring it from this competition if I dont get the parts soon and looking for a new vehicle to take its place, or... I dont know yet.

i had gps in my entry last year, so i'd say you're good

[Lunajammer]

The rules only say the foundation subject must be 1979 or earlier, but it also welcomes modern upgrades so GPS is probably okay. I think only the drivers seat has to pass the freak chance there'd be a road inspection. It's understood it wouldn't be carrying passengers if there's no other seats.

Opps hadn't realized I never put up a pic of the GTX done. Well I'll wait until the Dart and Formula are done I guess.

Here's a little teaser though.

And here's the starting point of my two main entries.

'68 Dart: Plans are to build it up to look like one I have on Forza 4. I'm going to cut out the doors and trunk lid and do a few other light changes. Nothing wild or over the top like last year.

And last but certainly not least a '77 Trans Am that will be converted over to a Formula which I want to build up as a replica to the one my Dad use to own.

Hey guys I here to tell you I'm back in with the revell 1966 gt350 I'm going to give it a mild custom flavor

[Jaguar man 21]

I have a few things painted I have a few engine to chose from the one on the far right is the 289 from the 64 mustang but I'm building it with a modern day twist

[Jaguar man 21]

Some progress my exhaust idea I also scratch built a roll cage

[64SS350]

Not sure if I get to finish, too much going on, but trying to get back into it. Ralley interior basically done.

Man..look at that dust

[Jaguar man 21]

Yet again I'm bowing out I've got to many projects to finish good luck guys

[JTalmage]

New month, new update.... Still havent gotten my parts from "a/gass". Been over six months. Might have to withdraw the General Mayhem from this challenge and find some other kit(s) to put in the ring...

[MLMDesign]

Update for dodge charger.

[Jantrix]

Ah the old MPC '67 Charger. An old favorite. Looking forward to seeing this.

After a short responde with Nick about my entry (he is really busy), i am in.

Here we go - an update of my work last month.

My subject is a gluebomb 300SL from italerie. totally stripped.

First thing, i sanded and sprayd a layer of filler. next round of sanding...

...and took an eye of the drivetrain.

Out of my partsbox i took the drivetrain from a Ferrari Superamerica-or so, glued it and made some points to fix it on the frame:

a test of fitting all together:

Perfekt!

Her is parts for ther own:

Next was the trans bigger than the original, so the interieur doesn't go in:

new tunnel made:

done.

Two things, that a old racecar must have (in my view and because i am a fan of it) are small rollbars...

...aaaand the exhaust like a Viper (love it):

Thats for it now. No its up for the bodywork to get color on it. uh,...the interieur also needs some work

Thanks fellas for watching.

[zenrat]

I may have dobbed some filler on the Skyhawk body but I haven't sanded it yet.

You're all doing very well.

Would it be ok if i enter this model kit it is a 1966 Chevelle wagon it has been modified to look like a 1970 Chevelle wagon the only things that has been done to it is modifieding the front and back.

[Pat Minarick]

Well I looked a my truck tonight ! I better get going .

It looks like it is going to be a crowded starting line this year.

[Pim]

Update on the gto I have finished painting everything on it and I might enter a second entry as a support vehicle for the gto

[W-409]

Finally I was able to do some more bodywork with my Dodge Charger Daytona.

After the last set of pictures, I have been adding putty and sanding the front end many times. There was also a large sink mark on the trunk lid and on top of the rear fenders. I smoothed that out with putty and sanded it smooth. Then I thought it would be the time to throw some spray filler on. And to my surprise, I didn't screw up the paint this time.

[maltsr]

Finally finished my '67 Corvette. Painted Tamiya bright red over pink primer, substituted a '90's era Corvette motor and sprinkled with some photoetch detail parts.

[Lunajammer]

Paul, that Vette is a honey. Lovely detail and that engine looks like it belongs there.
