I built this in 2000. I made the base with a 2 lb tub of spackle. I wrapped masking tape around it and textured it as it was skinning up. I rolled the chassis over it to make tire prints. The puddle is Future. I just figured it out as I went along. It was also the first time I dirtied up a vehicle. It appeared in Scale Auto from contest coverage of the ACME Southern Nationals. It was my first model to appear in Scale Auto too.
