During high school I played with clay alot. Then when I was 30 I got into clay for a few years. You should try it, very relaxing.

Well after I got his body rough in and sized him up in the truck, he was to darn tall. So I cut of his head and I making a shorter body.

I got a couple things to put on my Trailfinder2.
A seat and some hubs.
Some Iroxs on a set of wildcat beadlocks. I love the look of these wheels.

I want a set of those wheels so bad, just not sure what to put them on...

[ROCKEDUP RICKY]

Here's a picture of before the oven.



After I painted the body ,I tapped a stud in his arms for his hands.



His Hat fit good enough that I don't think I'll have to glue it. So sometimes I can show off his pretty bald head.



I also made him a bobble head, I got the spring in there to the height I wanted and then I cut the brass rod until it got the stiffness I wanted. With out the rod he was drunk and couldn't hardly keep his head up.




Here he is all done and ready to be installed to the cab, but I 'm working on it and that will come later.
Now that I got my Driver done ,I 'll get back on the truck.

It's some oven bake clay I got at walmart. It stays soft until you bake it. After that you can sand it ,drill it, tap screws in it, it's fun, try it.

I have your pic on my avatar.

I'm looking forward to seeing video with the bobble head too.

I think it is going to be plenty quick. It makes for a nice low speed in 1st for crawling and if your need the speed you have it in 2nd gear. I'll probly stick with the 35 turn maybe a 40. I will try a 55 turn to see how low 1st would be and how high 2nd will be. I got to find one of 55 turns.

[03cobrakid]

Were you running the IROKS in that last vid? Looks like they clear pretty good if they were.

[Stormin2u]

Looks great Rick, your driver is the crowning touch and that little hat is too much.
