Army Commemeration Hummer

[Velocity]

(NEWEST PICTURES AT BOTTOM)
Found an old gi joe hummer that i thought i could put a computer in... got to work today cutting it out and such trying to see if parts fit... the target is this



here is what i have so far... (reminder this mobo is a p3 and its very big... imagine the floppy drive as the hd... also the no vid card yet but i put my 9700 in there as a reference and it will work ... and the psu isnt in any pics for i do not have a micro atx mother board or psu yet*if u have one and want to donate it i would be verry apreciative*... and these are just the first steps)










Cd drive in humvee bed ^^^






Modded the frame to house the harddrive ^^^


A fan will be located under the hood maybe a tornado for some real horse power under the hood^^^






Large mobo seems to fit fine on top of the bed^^


Everything but the psu fits :O^^^.. prolly gonna put a fan in the rear drivers side window and leds for head lights... and get some cathode running lights (its gonna be a snazzy hummer)

Also if i cant fit everything in micro atx form i will use an old lappy lcd mod if that happens

UPDATES July 20________________________________________________ _____________



Went to my local lowes and picked up my fav sprey paint^^^



If you look in the middle the canopy door is going to be a wm ^^^



decided to chop the roof before i painted it.. fits quite well and looks way better^^^


Now it was time to cut down everything else... used a soldier iron to weld the plastic to gether then sand it^^^


Hight comparasion smaller door after cut and bigger door before before^^^






Decided to paint everything but the undercarrage and the canopy^^^ (undercarage will remain black and the canopy needs cuts for the pci and agp slots ect.)


UPDATES July 21________________________________________________ _____________

Put green paint on (couldnt find right color at lowes for desert camo, so decided to go forrest cammo)^^^




Drilled screw holes for fan and inserted an antec blue led fan (80mm)^^^




Cut down the acrilic for Windshield and cut new acrilic for windows^^^


Going to put an Lcd screen(if i can find one cheap enough *free*) or make a window mod








New pics of the completed body... decided to leave top black for contrast^^^ (not cuz im lazy... i may do camo designs on the top... who knows)

UPDATES July 23________________________________________________ _____________

This is the last update until i get the hardware... all the painting is done... everything looks about 100 times better in real life that the pictures do... the only paint i used were sharpies (heheh my lil secret) and a little paitence with them and they can look damn good.

Door after detailing^^^

Door after detailing plus bullet holes^^^

How to make bullet holes with a soldiering iron^^^
