I picked up a loose thunder machine for $5 at a recent toy show. Its missing the steering wheel and part of the front grill thing was broken and was very dirty. Its always been a favorite of mine (I haven't seen my original since 1990) so I was thrilled when I found it again. I never cared for the color scheme so now I'm doing something about it. This is my first custom job in 18 years. I plan on making a removable cover for the front mounted machine gun and a steering wheel. I am also looking for something to mound on top in place of the police lights. I should be done within a couple of days and will post pictures as I go.
I decided against the front cover sooo.... I'm done (for now)! http://s250.photobucket.com/albums/g...der%20Machine/

Thanks fellow fans. Those digital pics really show detail! I'm noticing paint problems I didn't see before.

the jet engine thing is sooo unsafe. Its right next to the drivers head! One pot hole and BAM! Headless. Cool.
