diymirage Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 (edited) I'm liking that Chevelle. The hood is vintage 80's goodness. thanks im building it like you would in real life the story behind it is burried somewhere in here, but to save you from searching through 161 pages of it here are the cliff notes johnnie had an old chevelle him and his boy were rebuilding into a drag car poor johhnie, he bought us enough time to drop the 350 from the farmtruck into the chevelle (the 454 was being rebuild) but he paid for it dearly we met a small caravan just outside of town and all headed north together while with the caravan we partook on scouting trip during one of those trips we came across a burned out chevelle it looks like it hit a mine or something that blew the bottom end of the motor out we were able to scavenge the blower and mount it onto galloper rather than hunting down a muffler cutter and modifying the beautyfull yellow hood we just bolted the hood from the burned out chevelle unto galloper and that is how that 80s hood ended up on this escape pod Edited December 25, 2012 by diymirage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Cranky Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Don't blame me, blame all the great work being shared here. Bring it on, build one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarana-X Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) I think I'm one of 5 people that have posted updates in the last two months. But anyways, I made some updates to my interceptor. I cut out the door windows and added the damage to the left front fender, and right rear flare. You can now see all the junk on the floor, even though the movie car had much more in there. I've also done some OCD corrections to my Destroyer involving the engine, and started a second one. Right after these photos my camera died and the batteries won't recharge. Edited January 15, 2013 by Zarana-X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zarana-X Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) This is my lates update, my OCD fix for the Destroyer. The engine was placed too far forward, and would probably make for an understeering, nose heavy pig. Before: After: Although in person you can see traces of the patch panel, the photo hides it. I've always said about photos of show cars, after seeing them in person, "a picture tells 1,000 lies." and my Ford 2.3 engine swap for the Beetle. Again, this was for my own OCD to correct a car that would handle badly, or possibly be a suicide machine. Engine is from an old Revell fox body Mustang. Weber side draft carbs are from a Tamiya Lamborghini, with scratch built aircleaners & pre-filters.

Zarana-X Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 (edited) The sun finally came out, (you'd think I lived in Seattle, it's been cloudy or rainy every weekend for a month) so I took some better pictures. Natural light is much better than the two lightbulb dungeon lamps. You can actually see the patch panel in these pics: Here, I fixed the placement of the tail lamps. Looked kinda goofy with them hanging over the fender. Edited January 28, 2013 by Zarana-X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Most Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I bought a kit for a few parts (a snow plow and some 8 bolt wheels), so I figured I'd have a little fun with it. Post-apoc it is. No zombie hunting for this one, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otherunicorn Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 D'oh! Even though I posted those a week and a half apart, they're still on the same page! I used to feel that way when I got to consecutive posts a day apart. All things considered, this CB lasted very well. It was meant to end in August or September from memory. That it has any life at all now is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Okay, so about a year ago, I got this idea... So, finally this week I got some work done! Got a rolling chassis up on wheels and got a coat of flat black on what I got together. There will be some colour, gunk, rust and weathering added as we go...plus some weaponry for protection and pumps to fill the tank with and a way to get the water out as it comes across thirsty TZHers out on the road! That is a Peterbilt bumper and front springs... Rear springs are from the remnants of an Autocar truck Will make a nice companion for "Galaxium"...have to come up with a name for this one...maybe 'Nemo'...

Dr. Cranky Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 Tony, this ride is WILD. Love it. For a minute I though that strange appendage in the back was a shoe form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
