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.

I've been going to the DSC since 2009, but I was unable to make it to the last one due to my work schedule. The place where it's held is only 2 miles from my house! I would look forward to meeting you and seeing whatever builds you might bring along. David G.

Excellent build! I love the subtle weathering on the chassis. David G.

Super nice! Everything about this build looks great. David G

That's a tremendous improvement- excellent work! David G.

Wow! That is a lot of work! Looks like it's well worth it. David G.

Very cool, and well done too! I am kind of curious as to how you dealt with the obvious front suspension issues. David G

Clever work on the hinges. I may have to use that some day. David G.

Un-Flippin' Believable! This is one I wish I could see in person so I could better appreciate all the detail. David G.

The interior work looks great! Cool concept. David G

An interesting subject well done! David G.

Excellent detail painting! David G.

Most people who do things like this to cars do it to draw attention to themselves and their vehicles. In that way, it's a complete success. It's what I usually refer to as a "Hey! Look at ME!!!" car. David G.

Nice, clean and sharp! Great work. David G.

Excellent work on the engine, detail and paint. It all looks really good. I imagine that the subway handle is a way for the driver to thumb his nose at the public transit system... sort of an "UP yours! I've got a car!" statement. David G.

Wow! I've been working on this for 2-1/2 years? I finally got an air brush and some Alclad few month ago; I guess I have no more excuses. David G.

Those are some nice builds. The pink and white looks like it could be the "before" version of the one I built that's pictured below in my signature. David G.

This just keeps getting better with each update. It also looks like it would make a great hover-car. David G.

Excellent weathering- nice and subtle. David G.

I've been watching your progress and with each update, you continue to amaze me. Keep up the awesome work. David G.

Chassis and wheels look great! David G,

Keep this one going. It's the only place I have any pics of my '63 Chevy posted. There are other threads that much higher page counts than this one. David G.
