Where are you going to bug out to? The 1970s?

Posted: 9/5/2010 11:37:25 AM EDT

300 I-6? If so, that's pretty much an indestructible vehicle, providing you can keep one step ahead of the rust.

Shit, if I did that where I live, half the population would disappear. It'd look like a ghost town!!!

Hey

Rust never sleeps.

Need to stencil the doors something like "County Zombie Control", "Unofficial Use Only"

Posted: 9/5/2010 12:21:52 PM EDT

[#27]

Need a better bumper for clearing out zombies and raider roadblocks.

Posted: 9/5/2010 12:22:14 PM EDT

[#28]

You need to get some flat white, and stencil the Mil. stars on it. Make up a serial # and stencil it on both sides of the hood...... Kinda like a Army Jeep, but a van!

See how it goes over, I think it'd look sweet!

Holy shit, I just realized your in WV!! I guess I'll know when I pass you!!!

My folks hav a 1973 Plymouth Fury station wagon that had belonged to the JAG office.

Metallic green with the army info on the door.

Just stencil the info on the door. It's not a combat vehicle so the big star might be out of place.

Need input from a person with the appropriate manual though.

OK !
For those of you who laughed sit your drink down now.

I painted it with exterior house paint. "Dark Forest" or something like that. Mixed in a flat base. $18 from Walmart.

Yea, it needs better bumpers. I'm looking but I'm a cheap-skate so it might take me a while to find some.

I'm thinking about some west coast style mirrors also. Maybe a roof rack of some type.

Oh, this is what they did to it at my wife's family reunion. (chalk)

Looks good to me. I would look at doing something to cover up the side windows, maybe vinyl or something else.
