Welcome back, Humvee Driver :D It's been a while indeed. How are you doing?
The Lone Wolf would be a nice replica. I hope you can get it all together.

Because of the time that has passed I don't know if I forgot something, but how is the Humungus machine doing. Do you still have it? And doe it still drive?
"UNDERSTEER" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"OVERSTEER" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"HORSEPOWER" is how fast you hit the fence.
"TORQUE" is how far you take the fence with you.

Thank you! The Humungus Machine is doing fine. It's under the care of Ron Griffith in California and it runs fine. Every year it's out at Wasteland Weekend - where it belongs!

Ok, so seven years later I've decided to resurrect this threat. My Lone Wolf build is officially a go. I am, however, going to need some help identifying and finding so of it's parts and pieces.

- The seat. It looks like an old race car seat, with holes for the seatbelts. Possibly a Kirkey? Image

- The blower hat. Anyone know what it's called/where to find one? Image

- The expanded metal used for its body. I've looked everywhere trying to ID exactly what it is. Any help? Image

I'd appreciate it if someone spots these and points me in their direction! Please keep an eye out for me!

The chain in those handcuffs is high-tensile steel, it'll take you ten minutes to hack through it with this, now if your lucky ? you can hack through your ankle in five minutes. Go !

I've been looking for that scoop for a while now and I can't tell if it's a custom piece or not.
I've found this closeup shot which may or may not help in determining if it's a custom piece, I honestly can't tell. Nonetheless:
