Jason I don't know if I've ever saw you so animated Thanks though


Here's all the fuel and hydraulic lines are hooked up, brake lines to follow.

This view will not be available too much longer…The radiator covers this area

Just finished the headlight guards...these are made from stainless steel, but will be powder coated matte black.

Thank you. Every now and then a V100 comes up for sale, but it's not likely you'll find one less than $80K though.

I have the brake lines ran and the system filled with DOT5 fluid, and now I'm working on the mount for the FLIR. The inside set of lines will be taken out using a plasma cutter.

Here's the LED heads that will provide a selectable pattern that will cover up to 180 degrees of lighting

Truly is an outstanding vehicle. Superb attention to detail. I particularly like the 2" Vision X Solstice LED's. The 10w Luxeon bulbs are very bright. I have Vision X light bars mounted on my personal and all my farm vehicles......nothing compares to their lumen output. Gasket failures are a problem though. Back to the vehicle, it is a work of art. BUT, I have to ask........how does one acquire a V100, then modify it this heavily, then sell it and make enough profit to make it worth your while.......in this economy? If you have government customers, then that would make sense. Very few people these days are buying $100k-$150k toys like they were 5 years ago. But, as in the case with some businesses, if you have a super-niche market, you don't need that many customers to keep you going, especially if you don't have any competition. High five on the quality workmanship. I will be embarking on a similar project utilizing an M59 APC.......I hope to achieve a similar end result.

If I understand it correctly, I think WGT is building this one for himself as a demonstrator model of what they can do.
