I’m going to make a “Dumb Bomb”. Ill start after wood cutting and yard raking is done.
Gladiator
Went to an employee appreciation dinner tonight. Came home and drilled some holes for the U-bolts that I've decided to use to hold the front end up, kinda gasser style. Next step will be to weld the tubing the axle will go thru to the U-bolts. No pictures means it didn't happen yet...lol but I have begun to contemplate super detailing and doodads.

Not sure how you distorted that photo but it's pretty cool, @GuitarlCarl .

I've got the winch rigging done and mounted, the front end sorted out and I think I'll be recycling ALiEN FiRE'S shifter. He's ready for it. Motor is next...

Hey, @mikeeebikey , can you use this as a starting point to 'bash' together another kit and join us in this build challenge? Maybe a King Kong or Godzilla to add to the bashing?

Our weather has officially turned with a low this morning in the 20's F. So , I spent some time yesterday before the tricksters arrived, pretty much finishing up my build.
It doesn't mean I won't have updates, and I'm still planning a diorama for the background when it comes to final photo time. Also, with my partial 'outhouse' theme, a related pun or two might inspire future posts.
Not only does Huey travel around in a lifted pick up 'camper style outhouse, but he brews his own 'shine on the side. What better for an empty clay jug to use for a sh**ter, er shifter.
You might have also noticed the plunger mounted to the side of his spiffy biffy. Seems a bit odd, for an outhouse right? Stay tuned....
BaSh oN~!

Hmmm... not sure what I can come up with, but I will give it a try.

Got the shifter mounted. +1 if you can recognize what I used (hint: it's not ALiEN FiRE'S shifter but it is just like it.) The pilot also got wired and a bunch of little details were added like chains on the gantry...
More to come.

Shifterhead looks like a water faucet to me...

Since I'm way different with my driver than I originally envisioned, I'm entertaining a name change... Outdoor pics today.
Also shifter is a bent Bass drum head bolt.

I think I have a name, and a theme. Going to try sculpting my own undead rendition of Lux Interior to (over) fill the driver compartment of this injected, Hemi-fied T coupe.
