Hey folks. Elsewhere in one of my posts I mentioned my first car fighter, a '92 Chevy Corsica v6. While originally slated as a M. Falcon, after coming across Katie's Red 5 during my research phase way-way-way back, my design got a dose of some x-wing flava while still retaining the Falcon's initial armor plating and doodads. I'm setting up a website now. Here is the link, but give it a few days to come together. www.twinlitworlds.com/red2/index.htmlAnd here is the lifespan of the car in 4 pictures: It was Dec 2001 that it was killed. The paint job would have been started around July/August of that year and went on hold until the spring as the cold set in. I got it around Fall '98 for $2k and of the five cars I've had it is number 3 favorite behind my current '03 Tib and my '88 Camry wagon. It is followed by the '86 LeSabre and then my least fave, the '90 Corrolla. The 'concept 1' picture was the desired result, while the refined 'concept 2' pic gave me the definitive lines to begin initial work. The final paint phase would have been silver metal scrapings, ejection symbols, warnings, shadow/highlights on all the panel lines and all sorts of little detail bits for the Falcon -just as concept 1 shows, but with the refinement that concept 2 demonstrates. It was all done with rattle cans, blue tape and lots of newspapers.
