HMMWV Conversion
I found a site that sells plans for HMMWV (or Hummer H1 as you non military folks like to put it.) bodies and i was thinking about doing this eventually. The site is http://www.tremormuv.com I got the idea from the FSB forums where a guy converted an 87 f150 into a Hummer H1 using those plans for the body. I want to get all you guys opinions on it I think it would be an awesome thing to do

well this isnt really a kit is is more plans you buy for $425 then buy all the steel then cut and weld yourself. I am a good welder so it will be no sweat for me and the steel will only cost me around 1600 to 2000 dollars to make the body. The expensive part will be finding the hood because all Humvee hoods are fiberglass. I found a company oversees that makes them but the minimum order is 1 40HQ Container containing 47 pieces and i would have to pay for all the items, the shipping from china, the importing fees and taxes, the customs inspections, and all that so i said i will try to find one from the naval base here in memphis tn

Who needs a hood? Build a pretty V10 Triton or PSD and paint it all up, and leave it open for all the world to see!
