It's funny you caught that.  I noticed it after I uploaded the the image.  The last images I posted were of the actual working animation and not just photoshop images.  It's likely when I print screened the image the animation was still running. 

The blackberry interface looks awesome!  My ultimate goal is to have a real working interface using an android or windows touch screen (maybe Mac in the future)  The general Idea is use the animation to to talk to a program which communicates with a computer module of sorts.  The computer module will have different sensors (simple 2 wire sensors to keep the complexity down) attached to it throughout the vehicle so the animation can respond to the sensors I.E. when the canopy is open the sensor will activate the animation on the screen.  Ideally my ultimate goal would be to control the tumbler with a smart phone as well.  My long term goal is to make it available to anyone who has a working tumbler.  You would basically buy the tumbler computer system (very low price to cover cost of materials) You would get a control module with sensors you plugin to it that are numbered. Then you would recieve the program that you would install on a laptop with touch screen where you can specify which sensor on the vehicle controls which animation on the computer. I.E. you connected sensor 1 to the canopy on the actual car and in the program you specify sensor 1 as the canopy sensor so when the canopy on the actual car opened or closed the animation for the canopy on the computer would respond accordingly.  Each module would have anywhere from 2 to possibly 8 sensors.

Currently I have the animation running in a loop activating various animations just for looks until I program the "computer module" that communicates with the sensors.  In the mean time I'm working on getting a plasma cutter, pipe bender, and metal cutoff saw so I can get the tools ready to hopefully start on a tumbler of my own.

Also does anyone know the actual width and rim size ot the tires?  I know they were 44" super swampers but not sure what the actual rime size and tire size was.  I'm going to scale mine accordingly.

make sure on ALL steering components u use a VERY thick wall thickeness. everything on the steering should be as heavy duty as poss.

front brakes are a pain to get in. you will need race car calipers, and have to trim them down. I lived without front brakes for a while, you want all 4.

keep your driver seat high(I am 6' tall) this is for comfort and good visability.

mount the steering wheel somewhat high.

this car is hard to work on the farther along u get. not much room. you will have to weld in real odd positions. sometimes no room for a helmet.

you will want/need cameras. without a doubt. plan on at least 3-4.
