I couldn't help myself... I've been kicking this one around for a while now. Video Sunday has become kind of boring... video is everywhere... it isn't new anymore.
But these cars aren't old... ok, some of them might be old, but they haven't been floating around. In fact, they may only exist in my head. It would be fun to be able to just build street rods, off-road rigs, resto-mods and concept cars all of the time. Not 'customer cars', fitting THEIR ideas and desires, but my own.
So I'm going to do it, if only in writing.
For my First Trick...
The first one is going to be where I left off with 101 Cars. My 1971 Jeepster Commando. It is a collection of parts, new and old, that will make something quite different than the individual parts may suggest.
There are a lot of details to be worked out, but other details have been cemented for months. The biggest thing that hasn't been decided is the theme. I go back and forth...
- Wrangler Sahara - The 1992 Jeep that is providing the front clip was a Sahara Edition. I have the full interior, and could easily paint it a Sahara only color, add the correct stripes and use the 1992 interior...
- Wrangler Moab - Nope, Jeep didn't make one... I would be dreaming it up. It would be themed like Moab is themed, with Kokopelli and other regional symbols, as well as the color combinations, etc.
- Military - The wheels are HMMWV 12 bold beadlocks. I have a bunch of military details (black-out lights and military switches) floating around the garage. It could be a military vehicle that was never made for the military.
- Bahn Burner - I like gray... and having a selection of grays for the colors would be kind of cool. I don't think it will be right for this project, though...
- Retro - It would look cool looking old. Faded paint and a logo on the door. Give it some patina...
I don't know which way it is going to go.
Any input?
