Thanks for posting CosmicJ. The Gunslinger was built from the parts box. The body is AMT 57 Chev, the chassis Revell 64 GTO, the engine is a Revell pro-mod, the suspension/wheels/tires are from a Lindburg 1/20 Toyota 4x4. The bullet holes were done with a small drill bit, then tapered a bit with a slightly larger bit, then after body paint a bit of silver on a tothpick added the punched through metal look.
As for getting around to it, watch the Mad Max series though once, rent some cheesy 1980's post-apoc movies. Then look at your stash of kits and see what jumps out at you. I'd never built a car that was supposed to look weathered or beat up. It's very liberating. Add a little too much glue? Screw it! Add some dirt to it and it looks deliberate. It was a lot of fun to build and I'm currently dreaming up another post-apoc build.
