Cant imagine there are too many of these running around, was that you at SyFy Bartow?

Yeah I know right? Lol! This definately sidetracked me a bit... ultimately it was all worthwhile because I made two contacts who are going to help me make the Deathrace truck even more epic! Got a local contact who is going to help me fab a bunch of the armor out of aluminum to save weight, plus...

Interior has been sloooow going. Biggest part of the job by far! We got dynamat applied everywhere and finally got the side walls and headliner back in. Also have the new center console and seats installed and have started wrapping all the old wood with carbon fiber vinyl.

19 years worth of crust and critters built up under this carpet... yecch! Finally got all the nasty out, sound deadener installed and new carpet going in! Also fabricating the mounting brackets for the new front bucket seats... feels like some progress inside for once!

So the horrible job of gutting the entire interior is now complete, been adding in Dynamat everywhere and reupholstering everything. Today i'm fabricating the brackets to install the front air-ride bucket seats and hopefully getting them bolted in. Best of all, I commission a good friend of mine...

Let there be light! Wanted to give it kind of an industrial kind of look, so I added on 4 mini LED light pods on the rear rack. Also started design of the twin FatMan mobile launchers, one to be installed on each side of the wrap around rear rack.

Began the painstaking task of reupholstering the interior.. man what a pain! Also got the custom front and rear roof racks installed and some additional exterior work done:

A couple of pics of the completed graphics:

Having a custom front and rear roof rack fabricated and powder coated for additional lighting... Also time to start the fun task of gutting and re-doing the interior. The old seats and carpet were wrecked, so its a complete do-over in there. For fun I am replacing the 4 captains chairs with...

Vinyl graphics time!

Plans are to affix it to the exterior rear, but the only limitations I have found is for the Yellow III placard, not this one. If you know something I don't definitely clue me in!

Paint went without a hitch, went with a 2014 Corvette Laguna Blue. We added a body kit and some LED headlights and tail lamps and some aftermarket wheels with oversized tires. Also got in the first shipment of Fallout related goodies: :

Always been a big fan of Fallout, always liked to build weird cars... finally decided to put the two together! Never seen anyone actually do a real Fallout vehicle other than the VW Bus Bethesda made so figured why not be the first. Been at the journey for awhile so here are some pics! This...

Update! While on the side of the freeway changing a spare tire, apparently some concerned passerby called 911 to report a man on the roadway with a machine gun. Needless to say multiple officers swarmed in to confront me and my tire iron. End result? Several of the State Troopers were all...

So the project got mothballed for a bit while I started work on a new project (my Fallout Vault-Tec Van) but today we dug the beast out for some more surgery. Today we installed the 3500 one ton dually rear axle, wheels, and screen-correct Toyo Cross Country tires. Shes definitely looking a bit...
