A buddy of mine gave me this car when he shipped out for the Navy. Me and 2 of my good friends built this car for a total of $68 out of left over sh*t. I'm leaving for the Marine Corps soon. One guy not shown in these pictures, Jeff aka Sasquatch, leaves for the Army Monday (5/26) and my best friend shown here will be leaving for the Air Force this fall. This is being done as kind of a shout out to all the men and women who have and are serving. We call the big iron rear bumper the "Tombstone" lol. I know it's exactly like the one in Death Race but it is 6" diameter and 5/16" thick... IT WORKS WELL!!!
Here's a little halfway build thread on the car, show a little love :dblthumb:

"Oooh-rah" young marine recruit. I wish you the best of luck in this endeavor, but I'm pretty sure you'll be just fine.

Awesome! I've been in the Army 8 years, and my GF just left to bootcamp 2 weeks ago. Keep up the good work!

That is the most terrifying roll cage I have ever seen.

Looks like y'all had fun though. Good luck out there, and thank you for serving our country!
