Project: Moon buggy
 

Well, all the links in my other TXT post are dead, so I figured I would start one here to get more opinions. Here is my moon buggy project. It has been a long time coming, since I have been working on figuring out life with a kid. Its very, very different.
So, here are a few pics, one after fab and clean up were complete, and one with fresh paint on it. I should hopefully be able to wrap it up this weekend. Body panels are about all that is left. More pictures soon....

that moon buggy is sic and can't wiat to see pics on the rocks.

aawwww! only 2 axles? jk ...it looks great... I was thinkin mars rover i guess

I would like to take this opportunity to thank HULK for dedicating this project to me, I'm really flattered and speechless that he chose my name!!!!

j/k, Looks kind of like the basard jr. w/ the off-center cab(is that what you'd call it?)

Different moon buggy.

Here's what the crawler moon buggy is

I don't think it is that one, it is the new tiny right? anyway I remember seeing a crawler that looks more like the one hulk is building but can't remember the name.

It kinda sucks that you dont see it yet, but yes, I am building the campbell ent. buggy. The one he posted. I guess I hope you will see it once its done.....

I totally see it. The overall shape, front shock towers, gussets on the tubing, that little cross bar on the back side, and some other features.

oops, my bad, The one AdamF posted is the one I was thinking of :oops:

looks cool, when will it be done? soon i hope.

Shannon builds some crazy capable crawlers, its great to see one done to scale. Really cool build, HULK.

How are you welding that up? Mig or something? They look like some big welds.

Looks sick though; lets get some more angles :)

Looks cool definately want to see it when its done once again it looks awsome

Very nice, clean too. ;-) I don't believe I would have painted it.

I got to see this truck of his yesterday in person. It is very impressive looking, completly detailed out with decals, racing seat, and a motor in the back.

Pics!!

ya what he said ^ lol

Man that moon buggy is sweet. Hope to see it in a video soon.

Well, I am finally able to post some pics here at work. My stupid computer ate all my buildup pics, so you jsut get the finished product pics. Here is teh link of the 1:1 for reference.
