I don't think the conduit will hold up though.



aha, so is the floor going to be expanded metal on top of that?

 

[IZwack]

Floor and most of the interior is probably going to be aluminum of some sort.

Test fitting the driver ...

 

[Dannyboy]

that steering wheel is so small, I can barely see it. I saw the sheet of expanded metal on the wall and thought you might be doing something similar to my fab guys work.

I know there is a complaint with dust and mud coming up from guys going that route but otherwise it's pretty slick, but I know you'll have no issues with mud.

Yeah I actually dont remember why I bought those things... I think its for the two rig's rear bumper, but I forget.

Needs more triangulation! :

That's because your uniforms don't cost $250.00 a set.
I want to get that guys beat though, beats the heck out of the freeway.

Hey, Iz, you going to start writing in the web to save the pig??

Answer to your question

Sorta reminds me of Charlotte and Wilbur.

 

[IZwack]

Ahah ohhhhh, got it. Thanks!

BTW notice that looks to be a Chevy truck frame, but it has a 1994-95 Cobra cowl hood on it.






Jeff - :navajo:

Jeff if you're talking about Hunter's buggy, you're absolutely right, it's like a 78 chevy, cut off the frame right behind the transmission mounts, walks through emissions no problem. It also is a cobra hood, and if anybody could guess the headlamps, I'd say Izwack could by looking around his driveway.

Brian- the rig is a volunteer unit on the sheriff's posse, he owns it and maintains it on his own. Everyone always asks if the dept. confiscated it from a drug dealer LOL.

If I got my hands on a stock first gen I'd like to do something similar but with a TTB setup, that's a true definition of a body diet!

IZ-a guy building his buggy when my truck was in the shop got a full aluminum floor if you want me to try to get some pics.

 

[IZwack]

That'd be cool Danny - the main thing I'm interested in are the attachments - like if they used rivets, screws, or whatever.

Oh, I thought the buggy was owned by a law enforcement agency. In California, its not legal to outfit a vehicle like a law enforcement vehicle, unless its owned by that law enforcement agency. And you can never put red lights on your personal vehicle.

 

[Rick]

Using conduit for mock up was an excellent idea!

 

[Dannyboy]

I agree, Rick you think you would have saved a few sticks on the dart that came up short?

Brian- it's still used in sheriff's work, there is a volunteer unit for Rick's buddy Sheriff Joe http://www.mcsoposse.org/

It took John like 3-4 years but now he's a full weapon carrying volunteer. He also has fabbed up some other cool stuff, like those big rams that 3-4 guys smash through a door.

Do dzus fasteners on the floor panels... then you can pop them out and work on it through the floor.

 

[IZwack]

Yeah ill use dzus for access ports like near the shift levers. But still ze non-removable "aluminium" must be fastened to the chassis. I've seen ppl use powered riveters but drilling a hundred holes for rivets reminds me of the african bambaataa - the zulu nation. But if I must drill then I must drill.

Started on this piece:

Cut out two of these (top/bottom) to simplify the junction of tubes at the center of the chassis:

Put in some internals:

Welded the internals:

And yeah there are some undwelded sections but I did lay a bead on them after I took the pic!

 

[Turdle]

Oh my
How do you do it so good?

You seem to get 36 hours out of an 18 hour day. I say you are really twins.
