I just found this section of the board. and figured I'd share. Here is a photo shop I did of my 89 Mark VII. I still may paint my car like this, but will definitely make a model of it. There was never a Mark VII in nascar, but seeing as they where so close to the T birds I figured why not? here's the real car.

As far as guns go, I actually JUST came up with an idea while typing this post........ back to the work bench!

I plan on making the passenger door hinged (though I've never successfully done that) and the interior will be detailed with guns and such. I still need to add more lighting to the front end, and wire all the lights.

The weathering has started! I looked at a few different ways to go here, but decided on old faithful. I used Sophisticated finishes Rust Antiquing Set. I also replaced the rubber fuel line with a brass pipe. That way no Zombies can chew threw it.

and here it is mocked in place. still a lot of work ahead, but thats where I am as of now. Thanks for looking. Matt

Next came the need for a power plant. I thought long and hard about what engine to run. I figure with no fresh fuel sources and the need for flexibility of fuel types, also the need for power more than speed and fuel mileage. I new there was only one engine for her. A 5.9l 6bt Cummins diesel. Now seeing as there is no model I know of that has one, I had to make my own. ruffed in, I used an old chevy engine out of a 50's 6cyl.

I think the plow added some serious awesome points to this rig. I played with this idea, but really don't think its a go. I figured that it could be raised when you need to plow or dropped when you need to be more persuasive. But figured in the end its just one more thing to go wrong.

At this point I felt it was time to get serious on forward momentum. I would want to always be moving forward. This should help that forward momentum stay true. I'm pretty proud of this little gem. Completely scratch built.

As far as paint goes, I'm leaving it stock. Would you really have time to paint your rig?

The wench and fuel tank. I plan on using this as more of an attack vehicle, and a scout. I've always said that I wouldn't plan on living long after "Z" day. But by nelly, I'd take as many with me as possible. That's the theme of this one.

Next on the list is utility, I fabbed a 200 gallon fuel drum and a chain wench in the bed, that way fuel stops will be further apart. then came more detail and paint. I had to do a hood scoop, it just looked right up there. You will also see more lights off the rear bumper, and heavy duty front shocks. The the large steel hubcaps are for scraping zombies off side of the truck, any guard rail or the side of a building will do.

It's been a long time since I've shared a build here, figured it was time to share. I started to think about zombies, not hard with all the hullabaloo around them now. I wanted to build my own zombie killer ride. I started with an abandoned project F-350, I had already painted the body, and opened the passenger door. I must say this truck has really snow balled, and I'm having a lot of fun doing it. I picked some real nasty, but not over the top tires. I scrapped together a home grown lift kit, with a 4x4 conversion. I wanted the lift to be as heavy duty as possible in the front(you'll find out why). next I started on one of the most imported parts of a zombie rig, ARMOR! You need to keep the "walkers" out. Next came lighting, I made a double roll bar with forward and rear facing KC lights. (much more lighting on the way.

looks great, I used to have an 87 F-150 2wd, I started a build of it a long time ago, I think this one has inspired me to pull it back out.
