Here's the beginning of my Thunder Machine MK2. I'm using a diecast Mustang as the base. I've already taken it apart and dremeled the seats down so 25th figures will fit.
I've got some gatlings and was planning on using old model pieces for rollbars and the bumper assembly. Soon, the bad smell if Nic Cage will be replaced with the smell of grape soda sticking to the flooring. Any suggestions are welcome... |

maybe a/some side mounted steps w/ mounted guns for the figs that won't fit inside...definately some form of big hairy engine pooking thru the hood is a must!

In honor of the 25th Anniversary, I'd do everything I could to make it as near to the original toy design as possible. Only better.

I've been a huge Bullit fan since I was a kid but have always liked the Shelby Mustang more because it just looked meaner. I'm going to stay true to the original as much as possible, but I'm taking some artistic license with some of it. |

Nice choice mate! I can't wait to see the final result (and duplicate it... just kidding) Do you have any pics of 25th joes sitting in the car? I love 1:18 cars and want to modify them to accommodate joes.
