About

I’m going to build this into a auto-crosser thats loud, obnoxious, and nasty. It stated with a 86 coupe but that body was rusted out so I acquired a 93 coupe that will be the shell for the project. I really like the 4 eye look so thats what its getting.
So where is this whole thing heading?
I was sitting in our office one day and noticed a World Industries skater toy (Army dude) I had gotten my son (well it was my excuse anyway). I thought, wow it would be cool to go with a military theme. Since I was in the Army and always loved military vehicles I though why not.
Then I came across the F-Bomb Camaro and Chip Foose’s P-32. I really liked what they did, but it wasn’t really “Army” enough. I’ve always liked traditional hot rods and “rat rods” and the raw simple look they have. I’m also a huge WWII airplane buff and after visiting Fantasy of Flight here in Florida I was hooked on the “theme”.
We all were affected by 911 and one of the stories I always followed was that of Pat Tillman. Name one other “star” or athlete who gave up money, fame, etc to join the military after 911. I thought Pat did what my grandparents generation did after Pearl Harbor, they joined up to do something! He paid the ultimate price while “doing something” about it. I’m going to incorporate the number “40” that the NFL wore for a short time into the theme.
So thats it for now, I have some other tricks up my sleeve, I just hope I can stay on track with the build.
