[grandpamcgurk]

Thanks Pat, for those interested...here's how I cut and initialy distored the body to give it that twisted sister look.







Here's Wile E. trying the body on for size before any mods were made.

Yep , very cool !
I especially like the Sidewinder missiles . . . I was a Guidance System Tech in the Air Force .

Cool, us 101st Airborne guys could've used a good guidance system back in the day on our Hueys........they were just kinda point and shoot,
Anyway, I think I'll add a couple of flame throwers under the front bumper or in the grille to round out the package........now there's a thought, Wile E. would not only finally get the Road Runner, he could cook it on the run....now that's an MRE.

This thing is off the hook crazy Don... I love it and the rockets and machine gun are two things Wile E. would have for sure !.. I see a pity party coming for the Roadrunner !! You never miss a lick in the body shop department.. awesome stuff brother...

Thanks Chuck...sometimes you just gotta take off the detail freak hat and not worry about counting rivets. Simply put.... build something that feels good.

I figure the ACME GT is going to need some badging, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm where'd I put that alphabet soup macaroni?

[TooOld]

Now that is the absolutely neatest idea I've seen !
I'm putting macaroni on my grocery list !

[grandpamcgurk]

Glad you like it.........don't overlook the elbows while you're shopping, you can stick 'em together to make some pretty wild looking rat rod header systems, intakes (if the scale permits), corners for roll bars....oh my, is there an edible car-toon car in the future?

MACORONI!
Great Idea...

[grandpamcgurk]

I really get a lot of enjoyment out of building, but doggone it I hate sanding!
Anyway, I'm just about done with the body work, gotta fab a door jam & interior door panel, make some hinges....... then I can move on to fabricating some of the(fun stuff)hardware and assembly.....BTW, I picked up a handy little tool to make hinges with and I'll post pics of it when I get to that point.



Guess it's time to start thinking about paint (body color), at first I thought dark blue with big fat white stipes like the Ford GT's...and then I got to thinkin' it's big enough to pull off a decent metal flake paint job or something a little on the wild side........Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, any suggestions from you good folks?

VERY kool!  never would've thought of macaroni, great tip!


thank you for your former service Bob.

[grandpamcgurk]

I appreaciate the "thanks" Knarf, alrighty then, here's the handy, dandy little tool that I use to make hinges with (1/4" up to about 1 3/4")wide.........





here's the hinge......



Best part is I don't have to struggle trying to make two or more hinges the same size & shape.....I just bend 'em as needed. The hinge making tool costs 'bout 20 bucks.
