For our production of Grease we could not use a real car for Greased Lightnin' so we built our own.
1. we built a 3'x7' platform and placed casters on the bottom.
2. we constructed the sides of the car with 3/4"plywood and attached to the platform.
3. We covered the top of the car and constructed the engine block out of 1/4" ply.
4. We attached 2 12v headlights to the front of the car.
5. We placed a woodbench inside of the car and cut out a door on the passenger side.
6. We cut out cardboard cement cylinders and covered the ends with 1/4" ply. Then we covered the outside with foam and painted black for the tires.
7. We cut and attached pvc pipe to the engine block and used 2 24" foil lasagna pans to cover the pvc connected ends.
8. We used foam to create the front and rear bumper.
9. We painted the engine using silver spray paint.
10. We used ROSCO Off Broadway paint for the car.
