Looking for another GM to help make Fallout tabletop game

So I'm trying so far to convert Shadowrun 5th edition rules to make a Fallout campaign. I've done some work but I'm haven't really GM'd all that much. I am good at making maps and characters. If you're interested pm me and I'll invite you to what I got.
Ekhem, you know that there already exists a Fallout pen&paper RPG, right? Not to mention numerous other postapocalyptic games. Are you sure converting Shadowrun is worth the effort?
Cyber Killer is right, although after reading through the book, the rules are totally incomplete, almost to the point of being unplayable. I'm not too familiar with Shadowrun. Are the Stats/Abilities the same, or at least nearly so? I have been working on a similar endeavor for the group I play with. I can send you some of my notes/conversions if that might be helpful. I gotta tell ya though, it's a heavy undertaking but the potential for fun is incredible.
I'm already done converting Shadowrun system to SPECIAL and the Skills, and a good lot of Traits and Perks. I just need to finish them up and then work on items. Then I should be good to go to start a campaign as that's the most drastic change I'm making. Combat will remain pretty much the same save the addition of Limb health and dmg plus weapon condition (which will be part of the item conversion).
A shadowrun-transferred game to Fallout doesn't seem like it would work too well, but I'm I've only dabbled in the system for Shadowrun, nothing too in-depth.  Kudos xD.
To make it work I removed Matrix and Magic. Made some positive qualities into Perks and negative qualities into Traits. Turned SURGE into a FEV mutation mechanic. It's actually been going pretty well. Still on the lookout for anyone to help me out with the number crunch and general gm'ing,.
