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....

Here is a link to the buildup so far, I havent been very diligent about takin pictures. I will take a lot once its done....

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.

HULK · 04-07-2005, 06:27 AM

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.....

AdamF · 04-07-2005, 06:32 AM

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.

moonbuggy · 04-07-2005, 10:28 AM

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

Magic · 04-07-2005, 10:38 AM

grover · 04-07-2005, 10:41 PM

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

SR5Dave · 04-09-2005, 12:57 PM

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

Looks sick though; lets get some more angles

bubbacheechee · 04-09-2005, 04:41 PM

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

hcfr34 · 04-09-2005, 11:33 PM

Very nice, clean too.

I don't believe I would have painted it.

Etype R · 04-10-2005, 09:36 AM

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.
