Too many choices. The Maserati would be nice though.

I was thinking of pictures of the finished product.
If you're going to make everything on your list you’ll need at least one more cylinder.
What is the intended bore diameter?
What cheap and easily available projectile are you going to shoot the most?
Got water proof fuse? Or some other ignition source?
I suggest a patch with what ever you choose to shoot. Gas seal is so very important for maximum velocity and range!
Fun in the making!

I'm not sure what's going to work as a projectile.
The diameter is 7 1/2 inches.
Cannon fuse is easily obtainable on Amazon.
Kewl. I've always wanted a cannon.
You might want to put a sleeve in it to cut that diameter down a bit.

Well that's a thought should the need arise.
My neighbor also gave me a welding trailer (with this project in mind)
The trailer's maybe just about the right size (pics a little later) and it's constructed out of some serious steel plate.
The thing is heavy as hell, which is good, but the builder not only went with the leaf springs on the axle, but some springy as hell coils too.
I think it's going to make the trailer too sloppy for recoil.
I'll know better how the trailer sits down once I lay the cannon on it to see, but as it is right now, with nothing on it, you can easily rock it from side to side.
I might just end up using the axles themselves, or possibly just use the trailer body itself, mounted on another steel trailer I have built by another psycho overbuilding welder.
Time and pics will tell.
As this thing slowly comes together, I'm totally open to ideas and suggestions.

This is going to be well beyond a bowling ball mortar, just not in diameter.
We have the countries largest machine gun shoot twice a year about a mile from my house.
I've been going to it for over ten years, and know many of the regular shooters.
There's a number of them with the BB mortars.
Quite fun!
Good idea with the stabilizers Jim, if I go with that particular trailer.
