Gorilla Garage Paintball Tank Time Lapse
One of the most innovative summer camp programs at Pleasant Vineyard Ministries is the Gorilla Garage program. Throughout the course of a week of overnight camp, professional welders and mechanics help a group of kids create a mechanical masterpiece (a la Monster Garage).
In this time lapse video (to “Bucket Seats”, by Cake), the 2004 Gorilla Garage campers convert an old Plymouth Voyager minivan into a paintball tank in 5 days of hard work. They remove the interior, replace the windows with cages, cut a hole in the roof for a rotating paintball gun turret, install a kill switch for the motor, and drive their new paintball tank outside for a menacing paint job. In the grand finale, the gorilla garage campers drove their creation to the paintball field for a showdown with the paintball campers on the last day of camp!
My 1998 Dodge Caravan, Geri, was converted to a paintball tank on an earlier week of camp, but I didn’t capture that transformation on video. Too bad.
