[FINALIST] - MightyRaze's Project Patriot [2019 Build-Off Entry]

Those welds will hold no prob with what you have goin on.  Looking forward to seeing this beast finished foR sure!

Got the Bumper wrapped up and now to work on the hood.

PS... Amazingly the pod lights do not interfere with hood removal.

Couple more shots.

Just headlights...



Headlights and Pods...

Looks great Mighty! That's kinda what I'm going for on the MM... High and low beams.

Looks good i like the winch being hidden

Thank you. I liked how it came out.

That bumper turned out quite nice. Great job! and those lights will definitely light the way.

No updates as of right now.  I need to take the hood down to metal and repaint.  I have some cool ideas up top.  I also would like to think of a bumper idea for the rear.  Something I can pull my smoker around with, so it will need to stick out a little bit.

Don't know about you guys but I am tired of cutting metal.  

I just got a plasma cutter when I cut the Chevy in half. I’m enjoying it for now haha. Now to see how long the consumables last........

Its a start

I'm going to scrap this last rear bumper idea.

I went ahead and did scrap the rear bumper Idea.  It just didn't look to be that functional for me.  Did do some other work today.  Finished up wiring.  I have 1 more wire I would like to run switched power out the rear.  Maybe use it for a sprayer or something.  Painting is now mostly done as well.  Lighting is complete.








Yes, I see that my ampmeter is backward.  Easy fix. 

you should install a reciver like i did. it opens up all kinds of possibilitys - ball hitch, d-ring, utillity rack, & more !

Lookin' good! I should have put a park brake indicator light on the MM. Burned the pads out because of that.

I been waitin' to see that paint! Look factory if you had some "Patriot" decals on there!

I am actually looking into something similar.

Your secret's safe with me

I haven't been happy with them. My printer is not printing red well. That's why I haven't put them on.

Here is mine... a little long, should it pose an issue I can add a brace.  I have it gusseted from the bottom.



I wanted it a little longer to pull my smoker around.  I can stand on it and I'm a pretty heavy guy.

Looks good. Should have no problem with whatever you tow hitting the tires

That's the plan. It only sticks out a few inches past the tires.

Project Logo...



Progress is happening.  Hoping to finish next month.

Oughtta look pretty good on there! Any red happening?

I was going to have red, but I ended up going another direction.

Basically down to wiring the horn back up.  Been looking for my horn button, but realized I used it on KAL.  I hope to have the "Tractor" wrapped up by memorial day.  I will continue to try to come up with ideas for it.

I was jumping on the receiver today with a slide in hitch with no ball. It didn't give.  Only the tires squished. Could finally tell I only have 5lbs pressure in them. Lol.
