Hello, short introduction: (FIXED: Long First Post - Sorry!)
My name is William. My family and I run a vinyl decal/print media business after-hours, and during day hours I'm a suspension tech specialist. I'm also a certified TIG/GTAW welder with a past history in tube chassis fabrication (as well as....motorcycle restoration, junkyard hotrod builds, DIY projects, entrepreneur, etc. haha)
My family consisting of my wife, Shana (23) my Daughter Tiera (2) my new born little man, William (4 months) and my self, William (27) have been into sci-fi/superhero movies and show's for a long time. (I need to mention that my brother, Jason, is a HUGE sci-fi fan, and is also the vector designer for our decal business and has had to literally design some of the decal art we'll be using on this vehicle from scratch.) I'm personally a giant Iron Man dork, my wife more of a Thor/Captain America fan, as well as have many more interests, including basically any book series or movie/TV series involving vampires or werewolves haha.
Anyways... blah blah blah I will get into more detail as I start our vehicle build this winter/spring and show you all around the shop some and some of our toys and business ventures.
My wife and I are building a 2000 model Cherokee XJ with the help of the company I work for, and are not far out from having it ready for our finishing touches. We plan to turn it into a UBCS Umbrella Corporation fleet vehicle. Outside of some blacked-out lighting accessories and the rocker guards, all it requires is our quite extensive decal 'kit' we're building for it, a separating animal cage for the rear, cb radio, dash-mounted tablet, police scanner, etc...
I'm looking to request pictures of Themed Vehicles. I've been browsing the site for a couple weeks and all I've come across are a couple individual posts, the 'famous' Jurassic YJ and most recently the very neat SHIELD SUV that a member put together. (This does not mean that maybe I just haven't been using the best search terms) But after a lot of trying different words and phrases, I've been having a hard time find any 'forum' online dedicated to people who build theme/prop vehicles. This forum, with costume props, a couple theme vehicles, actual physical item props like weapons, etc., seems like the best 'home' I could find for people who are looking to do things such as I am. I Absolutely LOVE movie/TV/Sci-Fi theme vehicles.
Thank you, if you took the time to read all of this haha. Any input or advice would be lovely, and I'd love for members to post up and share some pictures of their vehicles, or just share photos of vehicles you've stumbled across or seen at shows, would be really great! I'm attaching a picture of the current state of our XJ build for your review for fun as well.
Thanks!,
William
