My idea of a modern version of the Thunder Machine built from a Ninja Combat Cruiser. I wanted to keep the Hot Rod feel of the original Thunder Machine so I slammed it down low and went with a metallic red. No Camaro front end on this but everything else is the same idea only twice the HP.

This is pretty cool. Nice job covering the hollows in the back of the seats and please explain where the armored windshield came from. |

I have used styrene a little bit, but haven't gotten to anything like that yet. I'm impressed. |

I have used styrene a little bit, but haven't gotten to anything like that yet. I'm impressed. I first used a thin piece and fit it to the shape of the window. Then I used that line groove plastic over top of that. I traced out the original windows and just made them longer, cut that out of both pieces. Then added in the corners. You can see the lines go the opposite way. Then I just used the thin plastic over top to finish it off. I wanted to have that spot to put the logo. |

What I liked about the original Thunder Machine was it had that 'built from scrapyard parts' thing going on. This custom is too clean to be a Dreadnok vehicle. It's too professionally built, more like a themed vehicle. That said, the work done is great. |

When you get to that certain point in life you just don't want to drive junk anymore lol I mean the Noks are getting older need more creature comforts and young ones well they are soft these days. AC, Dual climate control, power leather reclining seats, 6 USB ports and 8 inch screen in the dash. Front and rear coolers for the Grape Soda. All this Rollin in style on big 22s. |

Looks sweet! The windshield out of styrene is really well done! This was instantly recognizable as the Thundermachine! |
