| Tony: And let's not forget the glove box, inside you can see vehicle manuals and documents. |
| (This is an inside view of the underside of the dash. Pulling the knob on the dash, moves the lever of a large slide switch mounted inside.) |
| Vince: Now let's take a look up front. It seems somebody down the road mounted this ammo crate here for extra storage, but I can't for the life of me figure out what this huge battery is for. (It's actually for the R/C receiver, and while we're here, check out that custom aluminum bumper, and working hood latches.) |
|
Vince: And under the hood you'll see the 60 horse 4 cylinder....WHAT THE HECK? Tony: Don't think I've ever worked on one of these before. |
|
Vince: What is it? Tony: Maybe it's some kind of new experimental electric engine the Army's working on. (This is where I've hid all the R/C junk. At top is the 7.2V battery for the motor. To the right of that, is the 9V for the sound and dash lights. That round thing is half of a spray paint can top that acts as a sound baffle for the speaker below. To the left of that is the battery pack for the lights and the Speed Controller which powers the engine. Buried below these items is the steering servo, the receiver, the gas/brake pedal servo, the servo for shifting the tranny, the main drive motor, and last but not least the horn, aka Radio Shack door buzzer.) |
| Vince: Well that was weird. Anyway, moving down the side you can see the widow frame mounts and the bracket for the rear view mirror (brass custom parts, mirror is adjustable and has real glass, wingnuts unscrew to detach window). |
| Tony: Here you can see the shovel/axe mounts, the grab rails, the brackets for the top bows, and the rear antenna (more brass and aluminum stuff. Top bows fully function. Grab rails were made from automotive brake line bent into shape.) |
