I had originally done this as a quickie, here:

I had since carved up the Thunder Charger chassis to cram a 2.4v SE battery in it, which combined with a Perfection 3.8, MOSFETS, Zip Zap red gears and 7tooth pinion, make for a pretty darn fast car.

So once I started paying more attention to it, I decided it was not very "CarToons-y". So I added the big motor from a Johny Lightening car. Carved out the velocity stacks to make them more 3d, and detail painted it. The side pipes are from a Hot Wheels car, and they have been carved, shaved and sanded to get them to look like they were meant for a bit.

I had another plan for the paint job, but when I went to pick up some yellow, this sparkly Metal Flake Blue caught my eye, and I was mesmerized, "Ooooo, sparkly"

So here it is:


Can't you just see that on the cover of CarToons?
What?! Who's smart ass in the back who said no? well her ya go smart ass.

I found a magazine on ebay and used that as inspiration for my hand drawn background.

Here's a better shot of the motor.


And one more of the chassis

pretty sick, nice work

That's fuckin awesome man. I love it. Great job on the background too. It'd be nice to draw like that.

hot diggety daddyo! crazy man, caraaaaaaaaayyyy zeeeee!

you're definately the artist dave

Thanks guys!

I'll tell ya ph2t, I appreciate the comment, though I'm not the artist I'd like to be. I struggle just to do something simple like this CarToons logo, but still it is cool, and I'm proud of it.

CD I am so glad that your such the perfectionist that you will go back to an already steller car, and actually improve it. Great job bro. I think you hit your mark dead on w/ this one.

You encourage me to take a closer look at some of my rides and see what could be done there to improve it.

that's forkin awesome man.
screams muscle... actually it's more like a throaty roar but...

Awsome ride CD!!

You just keep droppin' the muscle like its nothing.

Great work on the detail and the body chop.

Sweet Road Runners!!

Them's from a Clay Smith Cams decals, but it looks just like the Thrush muffler one to me. Anyone know if there is a connection between those companies?


@Finks, I couldn't possibly be a pefectionist, because I believe there's no such thing as perfect.

DAmn. NICE

damn, that's hot!
