Brizio Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I had some parts that I didn't know what to do, I didn't like to trash them, because for sure after I will need them. The other day I ran into a picture on the web about a car made using a dumpster. So I want o make it, I think it should be fun and also to have a break from other projects... I decided to use the postal Jeep chassis, or at least part of it. Next I add the front from another part chassis I had, and radiator from a Jeepster, the rear axle I have not idea.. Fenders from a Jeepster. Body from paper... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Eh? Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Fabrizio, what a great start on another eclectic adventure. When you say the body is paper, would that be some sort of card stock? What do you use to glue it together, white PVA school glue? Thanks for posting another fascinating project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I like it! Fabrizio, what a great start on another eclectic adventure. When you say the body is paper, would that be some sort of card stock?

I call it paper, but is thin cardboard, this one is from a USP envelope, the A4 size. I use Super glue to glue all together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brizio Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 I was able to finish the Dumpster car this early evening and take to the club meeting, but I did not have take picture yet, so I will still post the step by step one. Body ready for primer. The engine is a Dauntless 225 V6, based on the Buick and is from the Jeepster kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterNNL Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 I guess if this vehicle were totaled in an acident all of the scattered parts could simply be loaded into the center of the contaner and simply be taken directly to the recycling center?
