All 4 stars are done! I had low expectations for Bullitt but it turned out AWESOME! Not very photogenic though. I promise you though, in the sun, it SCREAMS Steve McQueen!

Thanks! That's my goal, to have parents and kids watch together along those shows that inspired it. Then, go out and build what you're inspired to!
Had to finish Bullitt before I could tear into Clark Rebel #2. This ones a model 331 not a 446 so it's a one wheel wonder. But that perfect for a plan I've had for a while. So, it has jumped into a costarring role as Bullitt Bad Guy!
This thing has so much character and I'm so pressed for time that I'm not going to restore it or ruin it's character by painting over it...I'm going to Plastidip it! Will rougher than my others but black is forgiving
That's the plan for now anyway.
Here's the Rebel up next to his big brother and I FINALLY own FOUR of the infamous Clark wheels!!!!! Woohoo!

Wow. Nice work. I know the time it takes to find certain things. Clark wheels, like some of the wheels I use on my projects, are either hard to find... or someone wants way too much for em!
Roll on Sir.

Have you planned the episode that contains this beast? Bonus points if you name the show... and what this was.

I totally missed that one! I thought it was The Slicer from Gone in 60 Seconds 2.
That sketch would fit perfect in my Deathrace episode. My budget is a long way from that one, or Road Warrior...one day if these 4 pay off...

Go-Kart Alley has been CAST! A GREAT group of students came out, bringing their best performances. Choices were extremely difficult but there are finally faces to the voices in my head LOL!
It's a little unnerving bringing all these people into my insanity and dedicating all of their free time for the next few months but they were all excited to be a part.
Now as for the co-stars, Bullitt bad guy got painted yesterday. It's supposed to look like it was stolen and repainted by a juvenile delinquent...boy does it ever! Doug........you've turned me into a paint perfectionist! Kind of killed me to just paint right over that orange paint without prep!

I tried to save the rebel dude on the sticker but it just couldn't happen. Here's how the Bullitt Bad Guy is shaping up. Not running driving yet. I gotta get back on script breakdowns. LOTS of exciting stuff going on can't post here

I'm unsure if the legs will obstruct the view too much, might need a pic with driver to judge...
but I like the idea!

GoPro has a pretty wide angle what works well for this shot. Should have moving test shots over the next few weeks.
