CUSTOM ARMORED TRUCK "DUNK DANK"
- Summary : Any robber trying to
break into this money-hauling armored truck will end up
all wet. This splash sensation can hold over 7,000 pounds
of water in its customized dunk tank. Sold on a Bill of
Sale only. Special conditions apply.
- Description : Jesse and his team
turned a money-hauling armored truck into a
crowd-pleasing mobile dunk tank complete with hydraulic
doors and a power seat-trigger mechanism. Sounds easy
enough for Monster Garage, right? Well, not when you
consider the watertight requirements, on-the-fly design
changes, budget issues, miscommunication and a late-week
injury that made this undertaking anything but a slam
dunk. The team cut the roof out in two sections for the
tank, ladder and dunk seat. And cut two side holes on
truck to install windows. They also reinforced the
framing underneath and welded a new floor for the tank to
sustain the weight of the acrylic and water. The
hydraulics for the rear door and the roof of the truck
are controlled in the cab by a series of levers. Keeping
the tank watertight proved to be a bigger task than
anticipated. There were leak problems with the tank due
to the sealant no having enough time to set, but the
"Special Scottie Welds" from Scottie, Larry and Wayde.
Helped make the tank, watertight. THE DESIGNERS: Jesse
James, custom-bike builder/designer, West Coast Choppers,
Long Beach, CA, Wayde King, acrylic tank manufacturer,
Las Vegas, NV, Harry Sze, transportation design student,
Chino Hills, CA, and Mark Willett, carnival supply
company manager and fabricator, Long Beach, CA. THE
BUILDERS: Jesse James, custom-bike builder/designer, West
Coast Choppers, Long Beach, CA, Larry Archuleta, armored
car designer and fabricator, Roy, UT, Scottie Chapman,
welder and fabricator, Oakland, CA, Wayde King, acrylic
tank manufacturer, Las Vegas, NV, Christian Ristow,
effects and animatronics specialist, Los Angeles, CA, and
Mark Willett, carnival supply company manager and
fabricator, Long Beach, CA. VEHICLE SPECS: Height: Tank:
57.5", without tires: 72" and with tires: 100"; Width:
Tank: 75"/ 93"; Length: 57.5"/ 210"; Weight: 13,716
pounds empty/ 21,000 pounds full. Additional Acquired or
Machined Parts: Neoprene to line the acrylic sheets to
keep the water in, and special washers on the acrylic
sheets. Had to use the armored truck's cylinoids instead
of new ones because of budget constraints. Kept having to
get new batteries because the truck used up so much
juice.
