Following a side-link from one of my favourite webcomics (The Whiteboard), I discovered that the creator, 'Doc' Nickel, had finally managed to put his automotive image gallery back online. 'Doc' is, by profession, a paintball engineer. And also a blacksmith, component fabricator and general batterer of things metal (including a rather fine sculpture of a wolf's head (made of over seventy pieces of 22-gauge sheet steel - he doesn't do things by halves)).

But, in addition to a 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado, the highlight of the "other stuff" gallery is something truly strange ...



A 1965 Chevy Corvair body mounted on the chassis of a '77 Blazer, Where he did all of the engineering, building etc (except the paint spraying). I presume it gets a little slow sometimes in Alaska ...

Rich and Kirsty went on holiday in Scotland recently, and were grateful for the sturdiness of their Subaru.
