Thanks Dave, the gon is just a plain jane AM without any mods. The gon load is somewhat interesting. It is mostly made of parts from a fairly large corvette model. I once had to build a corvette that came as a plastic kit that was about 2 ft long. I built the car up for the shot but there were several stress marks in the plastic. So I got out my airbrush masked off the windows and painted it a bright red. The art director thought it should be more glossy. So I masked off the windows again and used a gloss spray. Unfortunately the spray crazed the paint job. So now I had to have another model FedEx'ed in and made a new prop. I now have two sets of motors and drive line parts plus one total body that has now become junk. So long story short, what your seeing is underbody parts of those corvettes broken into pieces, melted and then glued down with some old Rex plastic wheels, some pure rust scrapped from inside drill pipe all glued to a plastic false floor. I have enough of the parts left to make one more load, but on this one I want to have weeds growing up among the parts, which is something I've seen several times.
