These projects were for my wife, as we all know happy wife happy life...
Jeep Rubicon...plasma cut sides, back and front, welded all the pieces together and painted. Added wheels, axles, and tires for a more realistic look. The fender and side flares were the most difficult part. It is 35" long x 14 inches tall x 14" wide. It might make a good fire pit...if made from heavier metal..... Note: the tires are actually 6" schedule 40 black pvc pipe, I used the pipe to scale everything up to size so the piece would be correct.
The VW is made from a recycled water tank. Plasma cut windows for the front back and sides, welded in place and painted. The bumpers and wheels were added for realism. It is 23"x 18". The tires on it were rolled from metal and the "mag rims" were plasma cut and welded to the "tires". Hand cut the holes in the tank with plasma, too hard to do with a cutoff wheel.
