David G, I think you have a point. In the 60s and 70s you could probably buy all those old cars dirt cheap, and boy it seems like they went fast.
I think for this kind of build, anything is possible. Shoot, there's someone over in Australia who goes by the name of Jeff who is building all sorts of neat machines with spares parts from all around, hardly uses a standard plastic kit.
I hope everyone stays inspired and continues to share the eye candy. It's long ways to December 2012, then again it's also possible it's just around the corner!
