I hand fired an SB-900 at full power half a dozen times. Trying to light each panel.
There is nothing scientific about it, it's a very crude method but you can pull it off on a light colored car.
Sure some soft boxes and at least 3 lights and stands remotely fired would make for a more repeatable result but you just don't want to try to pull that off in Camden at night.
That is way more attention and all that gear slows your exit from the venue if you have to leave on a dime.

I know that location, but I have not used it as a backdrop like you did. You make it look better in your photos, than it does in 'real life.'
If you need someone to watch your back next time you shoot there, just drop me a PM. I'm about an hour outside Philly, and wouldn't mind tagging along. Plus, when you are done, you can keep an eye out for me while I photograph my car.

ps - The Cobra is not mine, just a shot I took that I like.
Here's one of my 67 Chevelle that I did a full restoration on. Funny thing is, 99.9% of the hundreds of photos I took during the restoration were all taken with my phone! This is one of the few I actually took with my dslr, but it was a spur of the moment thing, which is why the quality is not that great
My buddy was driving so I could photograph. I feel like I was torn between the love of my car and my love of photography. I sided with photography - just this once.

She's already tucked away for the winter, but there are a few shot on my flickr page I believe these were shot with a point and shoot and cell phone, so not worthy of posting here
