What Has Carnut Been Up Too?
Jalopnik - Man Hand-Building Hummer H1 From Ford Scraps - Hummer H150
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. We've only ever seen this level of insane skill before in the basement-built Lamborghini Countach of Ken Imhoff, but craftsmanship and the mid-level insanity of the builders is all these vehicles share. 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, and pretty much everything else is the result of a press-brake and and whole lot of welding. The result has been dubbed the Hummer H150. `

We sell moving boxes and related supplies as a packageor as individual items with our pricing is about half of the local market. Rental equipment will be provided. We will also do shipping as well as commercial box accounts. We have landed a couple of very large accounts already. We are working on relationships with the local moving companies and storage places. Architecture sucks right now, so I am going to have to severely downsize.

I noticed there's some other (similar?) box shops around -- a Box Shoppe in Indy and a Box Shop in the UK. Likely others too. Squirrels need to move regularly and always have to keep tabs on their nuts so signing the Network of United Teamster Squirrels (NUTS) may have great contract potential. And you know how fast good squirrel chatter can spread! "Box your nuts with us."  ;-)
