Here's one that goes way back.
Back around 2000 or 2001.
Way back when I was first doing body mods and before my Club, Convention, Event and Series cars started.
We all know you have to be capable of making more than one car to do a Series, lol.
This one was inspired by the Llama in Dr. DoLittle, I think it was called "Push Me Pull Me", and also by the Movie "Sybil" since she had so many personalities she could never make up her mind.
Two 1950 Ford ShoeBoxes, back to back,
Painted interiors,
Liquid windows on the sides.
It was first painted with DupliColor Gold and then covered with Duplicolor Anodized Metalcast Yellow.
Taped off with Tamiya Modeling Tape and the roof was shot Red.
Then the whole thing was shot with the same Duplicolor Anodized Metalcast Yellow with a heavy dose of Azted Gold Pearl-Ex Powder.
The flames are HotHeadz (available at that time) copied on a scanner and made into Decals.
Wheels are from Jada Road Rats '57 Suburbans Customized with my Center Caps.
Stacks come from a Muscle Machine and a Tooned Camaro.
Fenders are built up and flared using QuikSteel and Armature wire.
Fully detailed with front and rear Windshield trim.
Modified hoods to allow for the stacks and dual 4 barrels.
It still looks great after all these years but the cheap Enamel clearcoat doesn't hold a candle to House Of Color Urethane Clear, Of Course!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The HW Shoebox is a decent casting but I wish they had made it stock without their engine sticking out of the hood.
If you get blocked by someone parking in front of you, you can always just drive out the other way, and you can do it REAL fast.
