So I've been thinking, and I've realized that subconsciously I've been building this:
What I have here is a Lexus T800 (Cyberdyne Systems Model 101). What I wouldn't give as a kid watching those movies to be able to behold such an efficient invincible machine. This car is essentially my Terminator. It's got a nearly indestructible endoskeleton, a power plant that is capable of surviving a nuclear holocaust, very abbreviated features, a rough demeanor to say the least, and once it's completed there is very low likelihood if it being cosmetically repaired.
Feel free to call me an idiot or stupid or whatever. I don't expect other people to understand, but for me the correlation is extremely important. It's been the deciding factor on a number of things ranging from how to paint the cage and material for the seat cover to the modifications to the engine and suspension. My way of building cars is different from most people - I envision what emotion I want the car to conjure when driving and looking at it and then build it around that rather than collect parts and figure it out as I go.
...Anyway, I've been making some progress on the project but haven't been taking many pictures, so here's an old one just to keep you entertained:
