sweet

If its so old how about telling me what it supposed to be other than some movie prop. 

[Oddmar]

Yah, it's a movie prop for the 1978 movie "Damnnation Alley"...but Jeffries (the builder) drove it off a 30' drop at 50mph and it took it no problem...the whole front is 3/4" plate...so i think it'll handle pretty much anything. It's amphibious too.

I spoke with Jeffries back in 92-93 and he wanted $150k for it...more than i had at the time. That vehicle and the APC from the movie "Aliens" are my favorite movie vehicles.

You guys were putting up pics of neat 6x6's so i figgered i'd trump ya.

wish i was driving that when  the dumb "woman"  (nicest thing i could think of) turned  left in front of me

Never heard of Damnation Alley but the APC in Aliens sweet.

ok ok  we kinda got off course,   BACK ON

some Gittinit Armor

[79coyotefrg]

the compressor i bought , even though i found it has a crack in the bottom of the tank

[79coyotefrg]

a little progress  but not much
thats the good  rustoleum primer

[79coyotefrg]

that  pretty much  exhausted me 

[skipnrocks]

Is that industrial rustolium?  Looks good

[93tonkatoy]

Looks like it's coming along. looking good.

[79coyotefrg]

when i get all my welding done  i'll finish the primer,  then on to the body

[DanS]

Nice work, good to see you are back on track

Keep it up glen

[unclejpl4x4]

[Rocksurfer]

The fix is sitting next to it.

[skipnrocks]

The fix is sitting next to it.

Good crap, if its a crack of any length dont weld it, that compressed air can be so dangerous if it blows!!  I rember my hydraulics teacher did a safty demo and sent the tank into the wall with enough force to scare the crap out of me!!

And how are the end's attached?   Welded!

[BoG-ToY]

you just gotta know what your doing.....so, dont underweld it...... and number two stick it out in a feild and pressurise it to like 150 PSI and shoot frozen paintballs at it..... if it takes it...then just dont run it above 115 PSI and call it good......ok, so maybe frozen paintballs isnt the best stress test but its 2:30 am in my internal clock, so yeah....that

[unclejpl4x4]

i agree it's fixable   but i would mig it 

or barrow a plasma wrench off of scotty   he always got  the warp engines fix   no mater how many phaser shots they took


but yes test it 

[skipnrocks]

And how are the end's attached?   Welded!

Yes but the ends are welded in ideal (new steel)  when theirs a crack thats usually indicative of stress, weaking, wear, possibly thinning of the metal.   If it was a puncture it woulnt be as big of a deal.

Ditto a high pressure test would be perfect and then just never run it that high again.

[Gittinit]

Can you swap all the mechanics over to the tank on your old compressor? Thats what I would do if ya can get it to work.

[THK Matt]

i want to see more of the frame and motor contraption
