GunGryphon's Long Term Warthog Build (Pic Heavy)
As the title implies, yes, I am indeed building a warthog.
Heres the plan: I'm creating a tube-frame body of the hog in my fabrication class this year and then I'll be splicing it together with an existing vehicle next year in my automotive class. I will be using the summer break to accumulate funds to buy the existing vehicle and any other materials I will need to complete the car body.
I used blender to make an exact 3D model of my frame that im drawing all my measurements from. Heres the design:
I began construction around mid december in my shop class and here is where I am sofar.
I've designed the rig to be able to fit onto most jeep/suv/land rover frames so that I will be able to select the best (and cheapest) vehicle down the road. Also, its only a mater of cutting and welding if somthing needs to be changed.
Hope everyone enjoys whats to come.
