Grant, when making the film canister pyro's is the order of ingredients into the canister: Sparkler Dust, Cotton, Fuse. Or ist It: Cotton, Dust, fuse?

Make the miniature set on plywood, and drill a hole directly below the site of the car (so long as it's not moving) When time to film tape a match so the head is in the middle of the hole, light it and aim a good blast from a can of WD-40 up the hole. From above it will look like the gas tank explod...

Do you know anyone who smokes Famous? If so you can use some creative close cutting between you, say, say holding a cigarette, and the other person blowing it out. Use super close in shots and keep the scene short.

Just about anything will work if you slap a wig on it and film it from behind, and you don't even have to bother with facial features. Also you could try using the head off a CPR practice dummy. (If you can get your hands on one)
