diymirage Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 adding it to my "to watch" list August, thats a nice looking camaro, but the tires are on backwards
B-dub Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 ok... I couldn't wait... I went ahead and got my build into a rolling chassis so I could try to imagine what I wanted to build... it will be a curbside hack and build.. won't be pretty.. probably won't turn out half decent.. but at least it's practice on a kit I didn't care for.. I bought a vw bus to use.. I wanted the aoshima lifted 4-runner .. I started to use my aoshima lifted hilux... then I kept staring at this... I picked it up for the deathrace build that fizzled along with my building interests.. so here is it.. stolen pic - like I said it won't be pretty.. I hacked up the inner optional wheels and plastiwelded them to the hilux swampers.. then used drilled out spoon ends (that I used to practice painting) to make the suspension.. it's a lot more even than it looks in the pics.. I'm getting anxious lol..
ZombieHunter26 Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 I'm getting anxious lol.. You ain't the only one. I'm about to go nuts. I wanna start NOW, but Cranky said we gotta wait for the rules and whatnot to be posted. I built an entire 1968 Shelby GT500 level 3 amt kit to pass the time... and now that it's done I'm dying to build something else...
B-dub Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 hopefully he will still allow this one to sneak by.. I'm bored and have nothing else to do.. family is home for the holidays so most of my stuff is put up and I was able to get to yhis and a few tools..
Agent G Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 Already got a kit picked out. Let the good times roll. G
Wagoneer81 Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) Post-apoc Community build? I've had a wild idea bouncing around upstairs for some time now... I. Am. In! I've wanted to build a large assault vehicle using only parts and material that I have at hand, just like one would do after civilization falls. Nothing will be bought for my build. I've been going through my 'Junkyard'... parts boxes and bins and such. So far, I have dug up a 12v71 Detroit diesel, a heavy duty Front-Drive axle and transfer case, a 55,000# 72" spread Hendrickson tandem suspension for the rear and 10, 22"x14" flotation-style wheels and tires... I'm thinking of fabbing an 18" frame, an Oshkosh-style cab and making it a crazy-big weapons platform... Add in some scavenged 'exotic' weapons and power systems from an 'Area-51-ish' type of installation cobbled together with earthly technology to make them functional... It's just a thought...

B-dub Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 Cranky is hiding for the holidays lol.. I'm ready to build I've already cheated and mocked up the vehicle I'm using and started planning armor
ZombieHunter26 Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 Cranky, where didja go? My fingers are getting twitchy waiting to start building!
'08SEAL Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 I finally started mine. 1986 Chevy El Camino with a mortar sticking out the window. Here's what I have done so far. I chopped the tailgate off. I cut a hole in the window for the mortar. It should fit like this. These are the two kits I'm using.
RodneyBad Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 For a guy that is Always here, he hasn't been here since Dec 22 2011 03:02 PM. Some one call 911, I would but I can't find the 11 on the phone.. Ugh!!
road_warrior05 Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 I think Cranky's lab was overrun by a horde of zombies..........
rmvw guy Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) I've been wanting to participate in something like this even though, I know I'm no match to the talent here. Count me in just for fun. Maybe a VW with a solar battery. No guns for me. I know, that's weak, maybe one hand grenade and some metal wheels. This could be fun. Edited January 2, 2012 by vw guy
B-dub Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 someone go rescue Cranky! and yep no guns here either.. just an armored up vehicle
moparmagiclives Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 I dont have any guns laying around either, I was thinking this was more of a armored/survival type thing anyway ? Not vehicle against vehicle.
B-dub Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 Yeah thats the way I'm looking at it. this isn't a death race it's the apocalypse so I'm pretending it's a armored vehicle to run down some zombies
rhs856 Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 I dont have any guns laying around either, I was thinking this was more of a armored/survival type thing anyway ? Not vehicle against vehicle. I think we can go about this in different ways. When z-day comes, we'll need vehicles to meet a variety of purposes; search-and-rescue, offense, defense, recon... I'm considering current vehicles that we have now, and what modifications they will need to survive the apocalypse. What would a z-day firetruck look like? A delivery truck? What about a traveling merchant (those always seem to pop up in zombie movies).
Chuck Most Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 Cranky comes and goes as he pleases- just hang around and he'll show up.

rhs856 Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 Dude!!!! "A twinky truck, pull over for a second" That would be awesome! Does anyone make resin Snowballs?
moparmagiclives Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 That would be awesome! Does anyone make resin Snowballs? Nerds with pink flocking, you could totatly pull that off !!!
Dr. Cranky Posted January 2, 2012 Author Posted January 2, 2012 Doctor Cranky is BACK, you CRANKYHEADS! Delighted to start the 2012 building season by getting back to this. Unfortunately, I have to announce we cannot have it as a contest on the forum, but it will have to be through the COMMUNITY BUILD, and I could probably host it through my YOUTUBE channel (the contest part) but that means that everyone will have to contribute a video and pictures. I'm still thinking about the details, besides be still have plenty of time before the world ends by the Solstice in December! (Just kidding, for those of you below the age of 10, the world is not really going to end!) :lol:
