Is this an apocalyptic 'Mad Max' type scene and the marker pen bodies will be added to a rusty, heavily spiked GT40 where they will become rocket launcher tubes by any chance!?

I found something better to power the GT40 than some marker pens and some plumbing spares.

Here's a quick mock up ( I'm thinking of using some led's and have it hovering)

Can't decide on colour gold, blue or pink.
I have a few ideas for something like that Roy;)

Looking good, but some SERIOUS side-pods (Enterprise warp-tubes?) along the sides, below the doors, would look great.
