Default 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.

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.

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.

I painted them and put them in the oven to cook the paint on.

I had a radio shack attack and picked up some nuts and bolts.

A little CA glue doesn't hurt. That pot belly has seen some good meals along the way.

Finaly, added one more bar above the windsheild and paint it to match the body.

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
