I'm trying to build my 1st custom. I haven't thought of a name yet, but I do know basically what I want. My basic idea is a Drednok Dreadnaught. I'm using one of those Bass Pro Shop Dodge Ram trucks as my base, I actually got it a thrift store for $ .50, lol. So far all I've done is modify the existing brush guard(that's removable) by adding the ram off the RoC Steel Crusher. I also took the guns off the front of the Thunder Machine and hooked them to the new ram. So now its got front mounted guns so it can rush in and rain hell on the joes, my next step is to take the armor windshield cover off of this jurassic park: lost world jeep that had the passenger seat slide out. The back is where I'm getting stumped. I'm not sure what I should do, so far all I've come up with is to take these plastic divider pieces I have and paint them to look like armor plating and build up the sides of the bed. This would provide cover for troops, so basically it rushes guns a blazin, straight into the enemy, then drops fully loaded troops in the thick of it. So any thoughts you all have would be great. I will have pics tomorrow. Thanks.

To be honest, that sounds pretty good. I'd want to see the pics before I commit, but it doesn't sound like it needs a lot more...

Well here's the pics so far. If you're familiar with the old Tonka Steel Monsters Line from the 80's, that's kind of the feel I was going for. Also I have my other thruck that I want to use for my Joe S.W.A.T. Team, of course Shockblast(Shockwave) is the leader. But then I also have this guy I made, still unamed(notice a pattern, lol). I would like to make it a breach vehicle, however I can't get passed the armor for the windshield, so any suggestions for that would be awesome as well, thanks again for any input.

On the 2nd WiP, only the front doors on the cab work, so I was wondering if anybody knows what kind of tool you could use to cut the rear doors out with making it look like they were cut out?
