Stormin 4,458 #105 Posted January 28, 2015 Now there's an idea. A bomb casing with seats in like a sidecar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ranger 373 #106 Posted January 29, 2015 Now there's an idea. A bomb casing with seats in like a sidecar. In all the film clips you see the "Erk's" sitting astride, maybe saddles and stirrups ? fit a western saddle and eccentric wheels then you could give "Rodeo / bucking bronco" rides as you tow it around :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nigel 1,876 #109 Posted February 7, 2015 getting close to the end of this project now just a few issues to sort out, its funny how when you start a project like this you have a picture in your head of what it will look like, but as you progress your mind starts to wonder, anyway this is what it looks like, what do you think 10 Vinnetrow, pmackellow, Ian and 7 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What type of paint did you use? just used a satin deep bronze green i hand painted it as i think its more in keeping with the look, i normally spray my projects but i wanted this to look old and well used 1 diggerjames reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
