HOLY **** how did I miss this thread until now!? Explorers is one my top 5 all time favorite movies growing up. I used to watch it all the time and I still do from time to time, or at least have the soundtrack on vinyl playing in the background. I have been waiting forever to see someone build a faithful recreation of The Thunder Road and you sir, just made my day! It's absolutely beautiful. I am so happy to see this finally being done, and done extremely well. I'm loving all of the progress and detail pics of the real parts used to build it. This is so fantastic. My 10 year old self thanks you very much. Where do you live? I have to come sit in that thing when it's done HAHA.
