ZOMBIE THEME GENERAL DISCUSSION AREA

[Old Wombat]

And here we have the build that inspired my build (shown on page 2 as an inspirational example).

Well seeing as I have "been there before"
Here is a previous effort




Yes the new vehicle I am doing will have a zombie plow.. you know it just makes sense

Once again; Thanks, Brian!

Well, looks like the firetruck is a good choice just for cleaning up the area after the fight.
How about two vehicles with a cable between them running through the horde knocking some heads off!

Zombie Pirates just out at the Big H 

I love the way they have over 30 boxes in stock - obviously a bigger market then I even considered

Everything you always wanted to know about zombies but were too afraid to ask:

Now I AM going to buy a LOT more rounds for my shotgun! If you check out the "Scientific Facts" link at the bottom of the first page it gets scarey out there!

So.... when do we start? Don't wanna be caught off guard when the outbreak happens

Start now! Unless you still have a stockpile of food and ammunition left over from Y2k!
BTW are we going to have a seperate thread for progress reports or just use this one? Or perhaps the "ready, set, build" thread?

"Now is the time for all good citizens not to listen to the authorities and start arming themselves and getting ready to flee for places of safety".
The votes are in, the deadline to start is here and it's time to get building.

Well the '40 Ford is out. My 'Friend' gave me an empty box!  UNLESS my LHS has one in stock.

When you think about it, older vehicles would be a lot easier to repair. You need a computer engineering degree to fix a modern car today.

I remember "Hey Cal, I found the problem. Pass me some bailing wire and the pliers". Someone, (Jolly jesters, my friends!), stole all my spark plug wires. I twisted two pieces of hay bailing wire together to make new wires and wrapped them with electrical tape. It didn't run good, but it ran!

My dad talked about a friend of his that had a car with a four cylinder flat head motor. When the sparkplug wires failed he tied one piece of wire from the coil across all four sparkplugs. This meant all four plugs fired every time but it still ran.

I bet that sounded strange (To say the least!) going down the road.

That was back in the really old days when you could get away with that. Now you would probably get some kind of ticket for it.

I remember opening the hood on some cars at night and watching old oily plug wires arcing around to everything but the plugs it looked like! Add sometimes there would sit a brand new clear distributor cap and you could see the yellow spark of the mis-set points! Good quality well set points spark blue/white.
My cousin would open the little door on GM caps and look in then say  "Pass the Points wrench". He could set them by eye at night and be within .001 inch of right.

"Or like the security camera shots of people crashing through convenience store front windows to rob the place.
Hey, in zombie territory, do what you gotta do".
I've noticed a trend that will upset future Z.A. Survivors around here. The chains are building new stores, (Sometimes right across the street from the old one!), with narrower doorways and higher thicker walls in the front. It's sort of funny as no one has done that to a major chain 24/7/365 convenience store but rather the 'little guys' who are closed at O-Dark-Hundred.
