He keeps asking whether he should use buffing metalic, Alclad or baree metal foil on the bumpers.

HEY,
He has four or five awsome yet uncompleted rides.

The tires have to be glued on.

There are no door handels.

The body is always cut up and distorted.

The car is just a tangel of miscelanneous parts from a number of cars.

Your Turn.

Slightly OT, but I once saw a gentleman driving around in an old VW Beetle, painted in camo, with scale 50cal outriggers painted on the sides. Strange people in this world...

Dirt is purposely left in all the door cracks.

Its painted in flat colours

The seatbelts are always arranged 'just so'

The wife and kids ride on the top wearing flak jackets and ballistic helmets, sitting in 'natural' poses

There's an M-16 rifle propped up somewhere

Its the only car in the shopping centre car park with more jerry cans, shovels, camo nets, crates of combat rations and spare parts than shopping.

Its never quite finished

The windows are 4 inches thick and not quite optically correct

The road repair kit consists of superglue and tweezers.

Vinyl interiour is preferred to leather

All knobs, buttons and controls are made out of brass
