btw nice axles and keep up the good work
have you built one and had to scrap it? would love to see some pics.

Yeah ... i had to start the cage work twice
Right now it's skinned and i'm finishing the front end ... maybe thats the reason i sounded harsh ... because i was looking for your solution to it

No worries
Your build looks good, but, if you don't do the front end just like the 1:1 I'm gonna have to give you hell about it and tell you its ruined.

Personally, I thought the front end/grill was the best part. Not that it looked all that amazing, but it was definitely different. Either way it's your truck and is going to be sweet.

that's the cool thing about building our own toy trucks, we can build them how ever we like.

I like that more than your original design. Looks more complete.

I love the "WOD" ......But I really like your Front end design
It would be cool to weld some steel mesh screen in behind the nose

I'd stay with what you made

Keep going

looking good. think I might copy your build and go 1/8th scale, and keep the stock width of the axles. If I ever have time to work on my own stuff. by the way nice job on cutting down the aluminum housings.

all the credit on the axles goes to a local friend in town.

Hey man...I got to see the Blower Buggy in person couple Fridays ago at the Murfreesboro Cruise in! I was on my way out when I saw 2 tube chassis trucks roll in and park so I headed over and it was one of em. What a sexy piece of machinery in person...holy crap!

yeah i don't think the chassis design is what makes this a blower buggy, i think it's the 6s that does it!
