After the collapse of civilization, we won't have access to proper welding equipment and nice paint booths. That doesn't mean, though, that those of us who survive won't want to customize the machines we'll drive around the rubble-strewn urban wreckage in search of tasty mutated rats for dinner. The individual who applied these custom touches to his or her 1975-79 Chevrolet Nova now has tailfins (featuring what appears to be Bondo, or maybe clay, inserts) made from tools you'd be able to find in the smoldering remnants of post-asteroid-strike Chicago.
