With all this talk of Vanishing Point ect. ect. ect...

You could have a white Challenger to drive around the track all afternoon and with it would come a white Camaro to wreck at the end of the day... :lol:

What do you think?

Scott,
Great idea kind of like the clean General Lee and dirty General Lee. You could start a Hollywood stunt series. 2 car sets, the one driven and the one destroyed! Take it the next step to altered vehicles ie; the 60 Lincoln in Animal House!

hey Scott, are there any pics on the web of YenSid's Death Mobile? :D

That's the one. :D But wasn't his first one based on an Aurora '62 Thunderbird?

Well..
It is hand made...

sorry, thought it was a production run, I never heard of it , or saw the movie....??was it a movie?

Here is a short synopsis of the movie Animal House

Here is a short synopsis of the movie Animal House

And here's what's not in the synopsis that you need to know to understand that car: One of the guys pledging this troublemaking fraternity is a fat dorky guy who they name Flounder. He has his uncle's (?) Lincoln at the college with him and he's real worried about damaging it. The fraternity's gearhead takes it and turns it into the evil vehicle you see above. They hide it under a big birthday-cake-type float for a local parade (the cake says "Eat Me" on it :D ) and in the middle of the parade, they break the car out of it and terrorize the local populace. Mayhem and hilarity ensue.

Here's some pics of the 1/18 diecast of the movie car:

Hey Neal, Count me in if you are talking about making a Death Mobile or two... :thumbsup:

volvo 1:1
are you the guy from Neils wheels (slotfather on fleabay?) I thought he posted on here?

Great car and movie. FOOD FIGHT!!! :) rr

The death mobile looks like the civil war USS Monitor. If someone does a version that looks like the USS Merrimac (CSS Virginia) we can recreate the battle of Hampton Roads in Roger's driveway. Yee hah!

Speaking of really stupid looking cars, if you want to really goof up a pancake powered car try attaching a vertical shaft to one (or more!) of the the top gears and attaching a propeller to it. Limitless goofball (and sort of fun) possibilities abound. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang? A HeloJet?

Who will be the first to post their whirly creation?

Who will be thr first to get theirs airborne :)

Roger

How about someone doing the Army Of Darkness car?
