Project "Clampy" 1.9" Scale Yota Build

[Jester666]

:-(its done now, i have nothing to look forward. I know!!!!!! Make a second for me.

Truck looks amazing Chris, you did a hell of a job. I can't wait to see some action shots and video.

[Chadworkz]

I am crying... :(

Dude, thank you so much for the amazing build...it was nothing short of amazing! I can't wait to see the next project!

[Unimoger]

Chris your skills can humble any of us scale builders. your attention to detail and the pursuit of a exact scale replica are amazing, truly a work of art. Now go scratch the hell out of it, just like the 1:1.

wow this rig is crazy i just went through 26 pages

[ScalerLover]

Just out of curiousity, if someone "were" to ask you to build them a Clampy clone.... How much would you charge ? lol. Dont even know why im saying this because its been said 4 thousand times but this build is rediculous, your mind is twisted. And..... I cant wait to see what youve got in store thats gonna top clampy

[axman2010]

Like others have said, it is almost sad to see its done. Again, awesome unbelievable job

btw i feel sorry for whoever had to weed those vinyl graphics. i refuse to do any smaller than 1/2"
are real yota inner fender wheels that wide? or was that done to catch the rc shocks? either way KILLER job!

Thanks Man..I'm glad I chose to go with those lights too, They really make it look "real" The inner fenders were done that way so they could be bolted thru the same holes the shocks were mounted too.. worked out really well.. Glad you've enjoyed the build..!

Hey Thanks Will, It wouldn't look nearly as neat without your help man..! Thanks again.., and I will be needing your help in the not so distant future for the next "Mystery" build....

Hey, Thanks man- I take great pride in my work, and to hear you say that makes me proud to have put in all the extra effort I did to make this build what it is..! Glad you've enjoyed the build, and you will definitley be seeing some action pics in the springtime..!!

Great Job!

Hey Bro- Thanks.. Just think, YOU will be able to actually come over and see this thing i person..!!! Get that "Fun Buggy" project all finished up so we can go wheel them in the springtime..!!!

Thanks Man- nothing to be sad about here..., I 100% LOVED building this truck... the next "Mystery" project won't be anywhere near as detailed as Clampy, but it is ALREADY in the works... IF you loved this build...Stay Tuned for the nEXT....

Hey Justin..., Thanks man..! What can I say -Yeah Its all done for the most part now.. just little things here and there to complete and finish up...There will be plenty of action shots to come once all the snow has melted at the local crawl spot.., not to worry, Now its all built.., but its still gotta prove itself to me...It may look pretty, but it better be able to wheel with the best of them too...Time will tell, but I have high hopes for Clampy

Thanks Bro- I know you've been with this build from almost day ONE..!! I'm glad you've enjoyed watching it as much as I've enjoyed building it..!! Not to fear my man.., it won't be as crazy detailed as Clampy is, but wait till you see the next "Mystery" build I've already got going.....If you liked this one, you'll like the next as well.... More to come soon....

Thanks Ben - I much like yourself take great pride in my work, and I'm glad to hear that someone like you who knows exactly whats involved with creating something like this has enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed building it... and not to fear, It will be put thru the paces, and will probably eventually end up looking ragged like the real 1:1 does...

LOL- it depends, what kind of price can you put on personal time alone.. ( never mind actual materials, to build the truck..) I don't even know exactly how much time i have in this build, but i started it at the beginning of August, and I worked on it almost every weekend or so, until now, and just got it done.. ( 6 months later..) I wouldn't even begin to quote a price... but thanks for the kind words man..! Glad you've enjoyed the build..!!

Like I've said a few times already.., The next "Mystery" project won't be anywhere near as detailed as Clampy is, BUT it is going to be built to be WHEELED.. and is already in the beginning stages of construction... Lets just say, If you've enjoyed following along on this build.., the next ones right up your alley too.... More to come soon- Stay Tuned..!!

[Racer4Life]

Someone needs to get this in a magazine. This is such a work of ART!!

You sir have some insane skillz and major patience. Every build you do is always a step above. Where do you go from here?

[karlos]

Be sure to send some pics in to PETERSONS 4WHEEL. I bet Fred would be honored that you built his truck in RC form and it would be cool to see in Readers Rides...

[03ssilverado]

He already had one in there it was the TACO. That was cool.. So I got to see this thing up close last night and let me say wow wow wow. I can't believe this thing. And I also can't believe the other builds that he was talking about doing.. Awsome work chris. And the race is on.. hahahaha

[4x4Crawler4LIFE]

OMG man
your truck is so amazingly awesome!

I love all the little details.

I cant wait to see more pictures and video in the future.

take care

[romulus22]

wheeling pics yet?

[cruiserkb]

Well finaly got the nerve up to read this in it's entirity, and I have to say "HATS OFF TO YOU MAN". This is a rolling work of art! This thing deserves more credit than the "Riddler Award" that they give out at Sema. I would rather spend my time looking at this than some of the full size customs out there. Hope to see more from you in the near future.

I know that someone has probably asked this before, but could you start a picture thread of ALL of your completed rigs? I think that they could be verry inspirational and serve as a good reaserch tool to the rest of us. I know that it would help me in the future.

Thanks
Kevan
