I was going through my collection i'd came across an old Revell 64 Impala that i had and one car came to mind when i was watching "Texas Car Wars" when Rodriquez Rod And Cycle was replicating Cheech's Love Machine for a customer.

The "Love Machine" is on my to do list. I look forward to seeing how your build comes out. I remember someone posting his "Love Machine" build on this forum or another forum. A helpful tip from that build was that he used small plastic beads from a craft store for the red dingle balls.
