Has anyone done a Johnny Cab (from the movie Total Recall) theme? Seems like an Eagle Summit or Vista Wagon from the late 80s / early 90s would be the perfect size and shape.

The paint job would be pretty straightforward, but to do it right you need the suit too...

Since people like Race Car look alikes why not some of the 1982 Chevy Camaro entries from 1982.  You can do the 3rd gen that got 2nd place

I can make this happen!  And SkunkWerks is currently unoccupied!  Just finished fixing the dents/rust in the Renault Alfine and anxiously awaiting the next project.  I LOVE to do recreations of interesting and iconic racecars.  (Not really interested in doing a Burning-Man-art-car or up-side-down-amphibious-parade-float.... not my thang.)

I work fast and cheap.  If its just a quickie re-theme and paint-job, I can have it ready for July AutoBahn.  If its something more epic, requiring major fabrication, you'll have to plan for completion by the October race.  My shop is located in Batavia, IL about an hour due west of Chicago.

Re: Themes you'd like to see done

Le Monstre may also be interesting on a miata or something similar.  Although it looks you would have to lower your typical job quality to match the originals since you can see panel gaps in old pictures.
