| 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. |

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