I saw this at the side of the road and had to turn round and get some proof, because nobody would have believed me if I described it to them!
Yours for a bargain £950!
1960 DeSoto Fireflite
The car was made with drum brakes front & rear. The rear axle was tapered and keyed, and the old drums (shown above) had to be turned on the hub using a machine no-one has anymore. The first time we tried to remove one of the rear hubs the axle broke, so I had the whole rear end replaced with one from a 1970 Challenger, which bolted right in (needed a different center piece). Now I can buy new rear brake parts anywhere.
The front drums have been a constant problem, so they were replaced with disc brakes (shown above). What a difference - the car stops smoothly and quietly and is far more fun to drive now! Before, if someone cut you off and you had to brake hard, the car might shimmy from side to side, and at random times the brakes squealed louder than a garbage truck even with new brake shoes. I should have replaced them years ago.
I set up an alternative version of the CB Cyber Conversion Chamber- the industrial look of the original looks great but I wanted one that looked a bit more like an operating theatre.
The head is severed from the body, again the lasers cauterize the blood vessels. At this point, he has passed out from the pain of it all. A Cyberman torso is lowered into position now and attached to the legs and head. The artificial organs in the torso take over for sustaining the head.
A good on-the-farm welder with a shop can make this in a day. It's not for the road, but it's handy back on the farm, hooked to a tractor. Wrecked/junked pickup trucks are generally available. Shelby County, February 2002

having lots of trouble with youtube uploads.
1. login fails. 403 error.
2. login and upload are successful but conversion fails.
3. installed ffmpeg to preconvert .mov to .flv but ffmpeg gave error saying it didn't recognize the .mov file.

but i can get the same movie files to upload when doing it manually from web interface. argh.
Really liking the Nik Software Collection Google is selling now for 149 bucks. Amazing value. Great tools.
Unless I get change requests back from the client this one should be ready to go. The conversion work was done by GreyDeath of the "Work In Progress" forums -- and the commission was for a Tier 1 (aka gaming standard) paint job.
I put some extra work in to the body of the jeep because it was 1) a real pleasure to paint and 2) good practice for my weathered black.
The mud glaze was done a bit thick intentionally as I thought a gun jeep would have a bit more than a touch of dirt in the corners. On a Tier 2 model I might have gone so far as to glue "mud" along the lower portion of the jeep if the client wanted it.
In the end quite pleased with the result. I hope the client is as well.
DEUTSCH: In La Conversion/VD wird vor Ort ein Unfall zwischen einem Auto und einem Signalisationsfahrzeug auf der
Autobahn simuliert. Ziel der Simulation ist die Sensibilisierung der Öffentlichkeit hinsichtlich
des Gefahrenpotenzials von Ablenkung durch Smartphones am Steuer sowie hinsichtlich
der Verkehrssicherheit im Zusammenhang mit Strassenbauarbeiten. Dabei wird auch die
Wirksamkeit von Anpralldämpfern demonstriert.
Die Aktion wird von der Generaldirektion Mobilität und Verkehr, dem Strassenverkehrs- und
Schifffahrtsamt und der Kantonspolizei des Kantons Waadt gemeinsam mit dem TCS
organisiert und vom Bundesamt für Strassen unterstützt. Die Sicherheit vor Ort wird durch
den Schutz- und Rettungsdienst Lausanne sichergestellt.
FRANCAIS: Dans le cadre de la campagne de prévention routière « la bonne conduite – bonne route
sur l’autoroute», nous vous invitons à assister à une simulation d’accident entre un
véhicule et un camion-tampon. But de la démonstration : sensibiliser le public à la
distraction causée par l’utilisation d’un smartphone au volant et à la sécurité sur les
chantiers routiers.
Organisée conjointement par la Direction générale de la mobilité et des routes, le Service
des automobiles et de la navigation, la Police cantonale vaudoise et le TCS, cette action
de prévention veut rappeler les dangers liés à la distraction au volant et au bon
comportement à adopter lorsque la signalisation indique une zone de chantier. En effet, la
présence d’un camion-tampon sous-entend celle d’ouvriers, travaillant à proximité.
