The Undead

Chapter 51: Modifications

--Kaleb's Point of View--

I wake up and the air is thick. There's also a thick blanket of dust and ash over the ground and trees, and the cars..."Oh shit!" I shout. I run to the Firebird, all the windows broke..and now theres ash and shit in the car. Cole immediately knew what I was doing and starts to help me swipe the cars clean. Phillip jumps up and runs to do the same to his car.

"You boys and your damn cars" Andrew pokes from my left side. We finish cleaning our cars interiors and begin to work on the exteriors. Thats when Stevie pops up with a nice suggestion "Hey..since two of the three cars are windowless....why dont we find a chop-shop and add some customizations....make these boys sicker then they already are?"

I look at Phillip, who looks at Cole, who looks at me. We all nod in approval. "Let's go"

We hop into the cars and pull out of the forest. In the Firebird with me is Melanie and Ryan. "What are you gonna put on your car Kaleb?" Melanie asks me. "I was thinking of putting sheet metal where the windows used to be. and replace my windshield...you'll see"

After an hour of wandering I notice Cole pull into a mechanics. The name being DC Chop Shop, but the two O's are car rims.  There are four garages and I take the far left and leave a blank space between Phillip and I. Some walkers are inside but I quickly behead them and Britni and Melanie drag them off and leave'em outside.

We close the garages and leave the girls on watch. Phillip, Cole and I all work on our own vehicles as everyone else just sits around. 

"Hey...Andrew...let's go get us a vehicle to work on?" Stevie proposes, then the two take off to find their own vehicle.

--Cole's Point of View--

I begin working on my Mustang, which already has two additions. The turrets. I decide to remove the .30 caliber turret in the front. I unscrew it and its bipod and set it on the table next to me. I walk into the storage garage behind Phillip's slot, there are a ton of things varying from Car paints, decals, and rims..all the way to tires windshields, headlight defog and many other little things.

I grab a windshield and about ten sheets of metal. I bring them back and grab a blowtorch. I have Phillip help me with my windshield and we get it in there perfectly. I place a piece of sheetmetal over the passengers side and use the blow torch to kind of smelt it into place. I replace the back windshield and leave the whole thing open. The side windows get replaced by sheet metal and I move into the interior.

I rip out the passenger seat and throw it to the side.  I take off the front passenger door and gently set it on the side next to the seat. I move the bipod and extend the legs. I smelt them to the side of the car and smelt a piece of sheetmetal to the bipod to make a shield. I re-attatch the .30cal itself to the bipod, making it a side turret for driveby's. I sit in the driver's seat and place one hand on the wheel. I use my right hand to grab the turret. It moves fluently and I smile into the rearview mirror. I then start the engine and pull into the paint room in the back behind Kaleb. I apply some flame decals.

--Phillip's Point of View--

I change the windshields and windows out for fully blacked out replacements. I have Cole install them with me since his car is finished.

I take some sheet metal and apply it to the windows but I leave a strip down the center incase I need to shoot out of'em. I cover the passenger side of my front windshield like Cole has done, then I take out my driver seat and replace it with Coles because it is more Comfortable. I go into the back and get a black but red outlined seat cover and slip it over the seat, because of the mustang logo on it. I pull into the paint shop and apply a simple blood-red stripe down the drivers side.

I change the rims out for some black-chrome ones. I leave it how it is now.

--Kaleb's Point of View--

After Cole helps me install a front and back windshield, I grab some sheet metal from the storage room. I lay the sheet metal down against the windows and cut out the shapes with the blowtorch. I lay them on the workbench and start to smelt holes into each one. I finish and  install them. The holes are big enough to shoot out of, but not big enough to get bit or scratched through.

I take a piece of giant sheet metal and cut a bunch of two inch equal-sided triangles on one half. I lay it onto the windshield and sit in the drivers seat. I can see almost clearly through them and decide to add some small holes too. I then smelt it into place.

I pull into the paint room and paint the left half of my car black. I let it dry and then grab a blood-red paint and dip my hands in it. I smack my hands onto it making handprint decals the color of blood, then I smear some. I dip my hands again and throw the paint to cause little 'blood' drops and smears.

I throw to red-chrome rims on the drivers side and to black-chrome ones on the other side. I pull up next to Cole and Phillip's rides and we are looking good. Then Andrew pulls in with Stevie. They are in a pickup truck.

--Stevie's Point of View--

I pull into the empty lot and Andrew and I throw some things on the truck. I go to the bed and let the door drop down. I take off the part that makes it stop flat, so now it flaps down. I take some sheet metal and smelt it on. I do it again and Andrew makes sure the dirtbike and four-wheeler run. We just happen to find a truck with some equipment in the back. They both run and Andrew begins adding small things to them while I make this door to the bed of the truck more sturdy. Andrew finished up with the quad and I hop on.

I start it and drive it up the door to the bed of the truck. It is sturdy enough and I park in the bed. I get off and push the quad over so the dirtbike has room. Then he pulls the dirtbike in himself. I flip the door up and it extends taller than the truck, but looks good since its a ramp now.

--Kaleb's Point of View--

"So we got three muscle cars...and we have a pick up, with a dirtbike and quad. Thats six vehicles...almost all of us could ride solo..this is great" I say to everyone. We sit in the office where the people that owned this place most likely did the blueprints. 

"Alright...Melanie with me. Ryan will be with Phillip and Renaldo in the challenger. Cole with Stevie in the 'stang and Andrew and Britni in the truck." I order.

Cole gives me a funny look but goes with the plan.

"Where are we going?"

"We are going to Cedar Point again...if I recall..there was a crashed jet in one of the hotels...who knows what happened...so lets figure it out..and rebuild"

Not just Cole gives me a funny look of disproval this time.... I start to feel as if everyone is judging my role as leader now. We get into our vehicles and they follow me.

The long drive to Cedar Point.....
