Default Mattzilla: Re-live'n the moment with the Clod

OK so got this Clod from a trade,
Never thought I own a Clod again or should I say "Clod Buster". So here I am try'n to relive the moment & try'n to feel young again. But at the same time damm I feel old. So for the most part just have'n fan with it.

Thanks bud,
It's been a long time since I'd build a Clod, after all these scale crawler's or again I should say "Clod Buster"......

So, just that it's a monster truck & all & yes I want to keep it as a monster truck. In honer of a monster truck I decided to go with the O.G. Big Foot & go with a 79 Ford. Not to big fan of the cartoon decal grill & made my own wanna be Phantom grill.

After do'n so much crawl'n not big on chrome anymore. But decide to go with chrome with the custom bumper/servo mount & rear lockout. Just thought it would go well with a classic Clod Buster Monster truck.

Ha! That body looks great and with the comp cut looks alot like the Mudcow era crawlers. Back then crawlers were just monster trucks with locked diffs and slower motors anyway.

That rear steer lockout/axle brace is awesome!!!! I want to build one of those.

Very cool rig.

I've still got a couple Magnum Jr radios to bring back those memories too. Keep up the good work so I can relive the old days too until I find the time to break out one of mine for some work.

BTW, looking at your pics inspired an idea to a problem I had been trying to figure out for a while now. Thanks for that.
