Hmm... maybe the beginning of the end for NASCAR, or maybe they're injecting some WWE style drama to generate some fresh interest. David G.

Rat Rod or Hot Rod, either way, excellent work! David G.

Cool Color! David G.

Awesome building skills! There should be an MCM article done on this one. David G.

I've seen a couple of tutorials on this website for simulating tarps over model cars. They recommend the use of plastic wrap over the car and paper towels or tissue painted or soaked with thinned white glue then placed over the car and allowed to dry. Hope this helps. David G.

Super nice paint work and engine detail! David G.

A Phantom van kit? Yeah, there's one on the way to you right now. You may never see it though, being a Phantom, it may vanish before it arrives. David G.

Beautiful work! I love the subtle engine weathering, nice touch. David G.

Very cool! I love the headlight work. David G.

Excellent paint detail and weathring! David G.

I have a 360 and PC, but I'm mainly into single player RPG's and FPS's: Fallout 3, and New Vegas, Oblivion, Skyrim, Diablo III, Torchlight, L. A. Noire, Dungeon Siege 3 and I recently reloaded Prey and Doom 3. I used to play online, but I grew tired of the squeakers and angry, foul-mouthed biggots. David G.

I'm glad you're back and all is well. I look forward to future updates. Thanks for sharing your marvelous work with us. David G.

Don't worry, we'll let the Martians keep their lifeless, barren homeland... as long as there's no oil there. David G.

Maybe the DOT should require noisemakers similar to the ones on modern cross-walk signals. Can you imagine all those Priusses driving around chirping like electronic crickets? David G.

Absolutely Amazing! David G.

Nice progress on the Fury! Thanks for posting. David G.

That's just too cool! It looks like it should be from that old cartoon, "He Man and the Masters of the Universe" David G.

OH.... WOW!!! David G.

Great looking build! Isn't there a photo-etch kit available for this one? David G.

Bill, aside from your phenomenal work and attention to detail, I almost always learn something new when I follow one of your builds. Thanks for the updates. David G.

Tremendously Awesome! Thanks for sharing this with us. David G.

There are some differences between Dr C's Zombie Killers and Car Wars. In Car Wars, the major auto manufacturers produce and sell cars outfitted with weapons, armor, targeting computers, fire supression systems, etc. So instead of the "built out of spare parts" look, the Car Wars builds could be fully armed and armored and still have that "fresh off the line" look. Now all you SHINY-heads can build cars with guns! Why should the rest of us have all the fun? There was also a Car Wars game supliment (or add-on in current terms) called Chassis and Crossbow set at an earlier point in Car Wars "history" in which lower tech weapons would have been fitted to older cars. Like a vehicular crossbow that uses automotive springs to fire bolts made from driveshafts with the intention of pinning vehicles to the ground- and possibly injuring the occupants. So, there's something for the Cranky-heads too! I don't like to limit myself, so I'll probably build one of each. I've already started on my SHINY one based on 1985(?) Monte Carlo SS. I've already got the base for the power plant and I'm working on the wheel-hub motors. I hope to post some pics soon. David G.

Interesting. I would have thought it would be a bit of a nightmare to make something like that look like a functional system. Thanks for the additional pics and info. David G.

The good news is, you can't miss something you never had. The bad news is, those who want us to just "shut-up and buy things" are winning. David G.

Bill, I've always enjoyed watching your builds come together. I'm sure this one will be no exception. I'm glad you're back. David G.
