since this is from a 'ford' site I guess the post will pass.

this guy is building his own HUMMER... by hand... some real craftsmanship...
thought you guys might appreciate this...

Wow! That's amazing! Just curious...Since he's making it from scratch, how's he going to register it with no vin tag?

 

I like the work, alot. It seems like he HAS to finish it now, with so many people watching, at whatever cost. I used to drive one in the military, and fwiw, they had a GM A-arm suspension with cv joints front and rear, a 6.2 diesel, and a parking brake rotor on the rear driveshaft. But these are just details, and, unfortunately, no ford parts. But I hope he finishes it nonetheless.

 

I Dont Know How He Will Register It, But I Work With Metal, And Enjoy It But Dont Know If I Could That.
Just Putting A Ford Emblem Should Make Us Proud.

 

Wow! I immediately sent that link ahead to a bunch of friends. Thanks John.

That guy's accomplishment is incredible, especially since he learned to weld while doing it.
There are some talented folks out there. Wish I was one of them...

Registration is an interesting point. I suppose the F-150 frame is the largest percentage of the project that used to be a registered vehicle, but it would be a stretch to claim that thing is a "modified" F-150.

 

WOW, impressive and good for him

 

That took lots of my time! Thank you for sharing!!

 

Thanks for the link John - that is unbelieveably nice. Probably better than anything that came off the hummer assembly plant line in South Bend/Mishawaka. The guy has talent in spades.

 

Something just occurred to me...That guy obviously has an incredible amount of talent, but...He's spending untold amounts of money, doing a massive amount of work, for what? A vehicle that looks like a Hummer, but still rides and handles like an F150; why? Not that riding and handling like an F150 is a bad thing, but it's not a Hummer. If you're going to make a Hummer body, why not make the frame too? Anyway, the guy's talent is undeniable, incredible work.

 

From the details of the subframes and dash, I have to believe he has access to original plans, or a real Hummer. Look at the dash, you'll see what I mean.
