Crankcase got a more extensive tweek. I switched his over sized melon with Ace's more normal sized head, added Rock N Roll's Helmet and switched out the popeye arms & hands with one of the Twins' arms. I like the Popeye arms on Shipwreck, but not so much on Crankcase. Anyway, here's the pics:
Without the helmet he kinda looks like Ed Rooney from Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Driving with both hands!

Im not crazy about the pop eye arms either.

i think this head looks miles better than the "Breaker" head...but really, you need to do the Darthbrett eye treatment to him and put the brown line on his upper lid...
i also plan to give GS a jet pack once i get jetpack Duke...GS needs a new head BTW

Also, I use my Ace head for my Cobra machine gunner. I made a vinyl mask to go over his nose and mouth so all you see are the crazy eyes. It's pretty cool.

Here's Crankcase with more mellow eyes:
I was hoping to not have to do it, it's just a pain and I'm lazy but he looks better now
Caliburn, We have a thread here somewhere with a few charts showing all the seperate parts of a figure and many different way explained on how to crack the figures open. As for the lower arm swap, hold the elbow under some hot water then pull it out (It'll take a bit of effort)
