| that's about right. Shagg off the top of my head i'd say maybe 80 bucks? include the screws and it still not over 100. just an estimate. My model is soon going to be eaten by my brothers wood burning stove. at least the wood goes to good use. ahh the circle of life. I need to make room for the real building. I don't regret anything about it for one second. I've learned from mistakes and am moving on. Mostly, like CLTC, it's given me great motivation in my misson to build my very own Tumbler.
...does it come in black?

| Thanks guys, i really do appreiciate it. This isnt meaning to sound like i'm bragging, but i plan on doing just like you did Conrad, and make a wooden bulk to represent the frame. And since i have almost every transmission and engine combination lying around that you can think of, test fitting different idea's will be a snap. From V6, to V8 engines, from TH350, to TH400, to 700R4 overdrive transmissions. Some are just scrap, some belong to my dad, but i am able to use them, just not sell them. I think i suffer from A.D.D. sometimes, because i cant seem to focus on just ONE project at a time, i have to have atleast 2, or 3 things going on at once to feel comfortable. That way i can take a break from one, work on another while i brainstorm on the 3rd. Anywho, thanks again guys, it really means alot to me.

| Hey Conrad, do you plan on making your car do this? 
You could use it to plop people off the side of your car if they ever try to lean against it lol!

Yeah that'd be cool...I could see someone trying to peer through the window and then "bump!". Ha.
Yeah man, I want the whole thing functional. I can't wait till the body's all done (uh, like 2010!) so I can start on GPS, radar, On board computer, Remote control functions...you know, the techie stuff.

| I was telling Chilebean that i would like to take the interior, and do it up just like the design ideas they had for the Tumbler, and build mine up just like they had it. 









BUT, take all those lil video screens and inbed a video mirror system so i can have better visiual all the way around just like they have on charter buses, or huge RV's. I thought it would be pretty awesome.
