I am going to stick with more of an armored car thing, but it will look more like a beefed up Suv than a tank, so I think ours will be far enough apart. Hope thats ok.. Here is a snap shot of my fender in its early stages... This is not based on a vehicle that is currently out on the market or anything. Thanks,Brian

Funny, here is the door... I did the hood fender and door in about 25 min... its not modified or armored yet. I allways thought it was easy to start with a *stock* look and then go from there. Most of this will probably be covered up with armor

looking cool man, I'm definately picturing it with a cover although right now the tire and the "truck" really don't belong so i'm having trouble picturing the final at all...are you working out of you're head? Or did you draw a sketch somewhere?

Idecided to give it a top, with a very short wheel base and it will have only two doors... I won't be able to post another image untill after the weekend, so hopefully by then i will have the generic body done, and I will have allready started modifying it... I was kind hoping to make something that would have come out of the movie "Water World" or "Mad Max" Like if there was Nuclear holocaust or whatever in 50-100 yrs, and everything froze over, and then someone had to modify a regular vehicle or something.... How does this sound? Would that be ok for the competition, I mean it would be a vehicle made to go over a specific Terrain (ice), and It will be out of the future... Let me know what you guys think. I have only been working on it for a little while. Thanks!! BrianHmmm... Remember when I started to Model Fred?
in the end I think he fit the guidelines of the competition pretty well. BTW Just found out that one of my sticks of memory is bad in my machine.. Grr... I tell ya, its one thing after another. Thanks for all of your comments!
