Greetings all!!!
          A while back I brought up Ark II and Damnation Alley and kinda got
myself on a hunt for info. 
          After an extensive search (that is still not done!) I do finaly
have some info to pass along. Some is interesting, some not, some just flat
out guesses. This weekend I went out and rented "Damnation Alley' <AKA
'Survival Run'> and set to task. Below is the comilation of my notes
about the Landmasters belonging to the '123 SWBMC' and they info that
was given about them either by direct diaolog or by observation. As for
the weapons, well, they did not have much so I had to guess or freeze
fram and look real close. all calabers and types are a flat out guess.
     As for the ARK II being the Landmaster, I have found that it /may/ be
the other way around. Ark II was shown starting 09/76 while 'Damnation
Alley' was copyright 1977. Not too sure, but I am waiting on answers
from CBS and George Barris Kustom Kars in N. Hollywood about it. From
the design if the Landmaster, I think it is his work. He may know what
has happened to it since the movie or if he did build it he may have
specs.
     E-mail me directly if you want a list of refrences for the show, I
actualy found an air-date list. Maybe CBS will come thru with more. 
     The Landmaster may be a viable alt for the MARS1 when you don't need a
battleship to do the work of a PBR ;)
     Well, here it is. If you wanna use it on a MP Homepage, lemme know. I'd
just like credit for it. If you wanna print it to sell..well, we can
work something out ;) If you wanna use it in a game, put me in as an NPC
for fun ;)
