I really should learn to weld. Awesome work but to be honest, a H1 would have been the last thing I would have built. If you're going to build from scratch, why not make it look unique.

Methinks with his limited metal-working equipment (home made sheet-metal folder) that the Hummer was an ideal choice with all flat panels?
The patience shown by this guy is incredible!..Especially to change from a compact windsor V8 to the 7.3lt diesel bus engine 1/2 way thru, and all it entailed OMG!..

Impressive!

Though in Oz you'd be better off getting your hands on an old Patrol and building a HAMMER™ with one of these kits; http://www.rhinobuggies.com.au/index.asp

The Chinese have released a vehicle very similar to a Hummer H1 and given it the name of the year nominee moniker "The Crazy Soldier"
