Did any of you guys or girls read STREET MACHINE magazine and remember those cars that were cleverly drawn buy somebody.Cars that you spend ours building in your head perfecting every now and again but never actually built.One i had going round my head was a pro street land rover series 2.Anyone else got any weired and wonderful cars they would like to share.Just remembered another that was a lime green rover v8 powered austin allegro sitting on skinny centerlines.

I've always had this idea of doing a Rover P6 Fully smoothed/frenched bodywork and bumpers, Moon eyes, Raked wind screens, Roof chopped and 2 doored pillar-less coupe. Oh yea baby!  |

Look back thru about 3 week's postings on this very forum, there was a thread called Motorvation which was what that feature in SM was called, drawings were by a very talented guy called Steve Kirk.
I even now build hundreds of cars.....mostly whilst sitting on the bog with a coffee and my 3' stack of car mags that SWMBO hates so much :-)
The one I always wanted to build as a lad was a BMC J4 gasser, black and flamed with a mid-mounted blown 426 Chrysler Hemi with chrome up and over powerboat headers, running on American Racing daisy mags and redband tyres. No tailgate, just a huge net across the back and some bracing to carry the chute pack. Just the ticket for frightening small children......
Awwww $hit, you know what happens to dreams.....:-)

I'm curse word at drawing so i cut up photos to see what it looks like
i find you get a better prospective of what going to go wrong, 'coz we can draw it to work on paper but to cut a car up and make it work for real is a nother thing.
the other way is to grab the bull buy the horns say to yourself that you can do it .....

At one time ..back in the day .. the only way to see what a car looked like with a roof chop etc was to take a pic ture ,get it developed ,then cut it up !. The amount of good photos of my cars I have drawn on and cut up !
