Escalade hard body armour
 

I found this Escalade body at a flea market, I love it but I hate sanding and repainting it so I made some body armour out of some brake line. http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphoto...48592332_n.jpg

I cut the windows out with a drimmel, then added an interior and a driver, then made a windshield out of some plastic packaging I found in a dumpster behind K-Mart. http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphoto...04820196_n.jpg

I picked up some brakeline tubing from advanced auto, cut it and smashed the ends with a tack hammer, then drilled holes in each end. http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphoto...52083311_n.jpg

I painted them and put them in the oven to cook the paint on. http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphoto...43480498_n.jpg

A little CA glue doesn't hurt. That pot belly has seen some good meals along the way. http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphoto...29164381_n.jpg

Bolt a Ripsaw to the roof and cover up some holes. http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphoto...31426188_n.jpg

Finaly, added one more bar above the windsheild and paint it to match the body. http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphoto...61549355_n.jpg

What's up with all the holes in the roof?

I'm guessing it was a kid's toy that had those directional buttons on the vehicle instead of being a remote control. Lights, sirens, etc. etc.


Or he could just like to carve out groovy designs lol
