Re-did the turret design

Not exactly up to my quality standards and there is noticeable imperfections and thats mainly cause my internet decided to be evil today.

Still got a lot of work to do the turret and i could probably mess with some other things once my internet isn't crazy. And for reference it keeps spiking up from 300-3,000 ping. Will make it look nicer when i get the chance and yes progress is always slow on this one but mainly cause of stupid stuff like burnout and in this case my internet not wanting to act normal.

Hello, I am new and looking for some advice/help on turning my truck into a storm chasing machine

I’m building my 2004 F-350 Crew cab long bed dually (6.0 turbo diesel) into a mobile storm-chasing and observation vehicle. I’m planning to fabricate a removable front hail guard, rear probe rack, mesonet/anemometer system, Tornado probes, communications, and a laptop setup. I’m doing the fabrication with a couple friends and I’m looking for advice from storm chasers on what they’d recommend or change.

Any ideas on how to make a homemade tornado interceptor?

My brother (M8) has been very invested in tornadoes lately. He's been asking me to join him on his journey to (hopefully) be a future stormchaser. His favorite stormchasers are Sean Casey and Reed Timmer. I have no idea what these people do. For an 8 year old, he's very bright and especially smart when it comes to meteorology... I, on the other hand, knows BARELY anything regarding this topic. I know some parts - but only when he keeps telling me about what some certain definitions are. This week, he wants us to build our own tornado interceptor, a homemade and fully DIY one. The thing is, he may know the parts and what to do, but I have to do the heavy lifting! How does one continue to make this insane project? help please! He's very excited and I dont know how tot ell him that I have no idea where to start. If anyone has any idea on just a little tip, it would be much appreciated.

I need interceptor ideas for my next major build

Alright, the main interceptor i been working on for months is still not complete, not fully atleast. Still trying to figure out how to make a good turret which is not going to plan.

So far i'm thinking to go with something like dominator 2 or 3, maybe something like titan or tornado attack. not sure on what level i should go for the details either but if anything i'll start with a frame and work my way up.

i'm also thinking sub-interceptor maybe like a heavy duty truck turned into something like that rat cage truck [i don't know its name] yeah i'm out of ideas right now.
