Would a search for directional light bar be a good search? I guess that because the one at Galls was labeled that.

Try "Traffic Advisor" in your search

some of them are called "arrow sticks" Many companies make them, and can be very common on sites like gl, gsa, clist, ebay, etc. They are mounted on every police cruiser, highway patrol car, dot truck, and many contractors or tow trucks. They are simple and sorta neat, unfortunately they don't fit my personal needs. I just find them everywhere it seems.

Lemme know if you find a cheap or free one. Novelty purposes

Now we're applying the polyurea coating (High pressure spray on bed liner) to areas where resistance to high traffic would be appreciated. The lower halves of the doors also serve as steps when folded out. The teardrop cut out in the center door is for the gun port and the profile will allow the cover to swing from open to closed.

Thank you for the kind words but there are a several examples of real quality restorations of the V100 out there, just as there are those that looks nice as long as you don't get any closer than say 20 feet or so. For me, stock was not enough so I spent the time researching the best powerplant, transmission, electronics and creature comforts that I could find, then used the V100 chassis as a starting point to build from. With the help of 3-D computer modeling, this beast is slowly coming to life

At shows, a lot of folks actually don't believe the V is as old a design as it is from it's exterior looks, they think it is much newer. You have an interior to match that modern look! Looks like driving buttoned up will be a breeze.

Cheers

Well that is something you don't see everyday

 

[panzerwillie]

Woow lots of power

Here's another interior view after the last of the spray in bedliner application and the seats installed.

That's just wild!

Cheers

That is great. They sure did look like that 40 plus years ago in Nam. Rory maybe you should check into that for your V.

Holy Cow, that is cool.

We're pulling the rear end to take out the locker and install an open differential...in a vehicle like this, the locker doesn't like the asphalt. Shows up pretty bad during hard acceleration or deceleration

You've done more in a few months than I have in almost a year.

Great job!

I need to look at upgrading my axles, too, since I'm upgrading the engine. BRDM axles are kinda soft.

Surprised you are not adding an ARB locker...

I would have went that way but I have 2" 47 spline axles in this machine and the ARB locker is too small to be opened up for these axles.
