Hand-built Hummer H1 (F150 4x4 chassis)

A madman Ford nut is hand-building an incredible Hummer H1 replica on the bones of a junker Ford F-150. The full scope of this fabrication fest can only be appreciated in the huge gallery below.

This H1 isn't some surplus rebuild or fiberglass kit, it's all-steel, hand fabricated to a near-military spec level of quality. The frame comes from a rough 1987 F150 4x4, the rear axle was pulled out of a E250 van, the engine is a monster 7.3 liter Powerstroke diesel from a shuttle van.

I'm guessing thats a nodular iron 9".

Damn nice job.

I know how to do pretty much anything mechanical, but body work is NOT my area of expertise.

Holy Crap!!


That wasn't body work. That's a fine example of precision fabrication. Methinks someone had blueprints.
