Bulldog's Screamin 2 Southern Buggy

[Cheatin]

Few dabs of Shoo Goo and he'll stay put in the seat, velcro the seat down to get to battery. He's got so much hair you'd think Hair Club for Men was the sponsor! :ror:

Finished!!!!!!!!!!!

Today was one of those magical days when everything comes together perfectly. I got everything glued screwed and shoo horned in there and even made it out to catch some pics and Videos! The videos will be coming. Here's some pics!

Thanks for looking. I'm so freekin relieved to have this done. I'm gonna shit twinkies for a week!

Your buggy looks bad ass bulldog !!!

 

[Ricochet]

Any tips for keeping the tube from twisting while bending ? Started bending mine up and noticed I had a twist going on.

 

[theloudone]

this is awesome! you gonna southern cut those tires?

 

[Cheatin]

Sweet, he even has the SoCal gangsta lean to the right! Looks great man, now it's time to scratch it up!

 

[Bulldog]

Thanks guys for the kind words. I've been busy putting it through its paces and trying to get some scale footage for a video. A little bad luck today, I went from four wheel drive, to three and then to one! At that point, I packed it in. Not much entertainment in a one wheel drive southern buggy! I haven't figured out what went wrong though. I think my hex pins evaporated!

Yep, not fun! I seemed to nail the foams perfectly. It's eleven pounds with vented rims and some weight with the stock foams with v cuts in them. I was crossing my fingers. It worked!

I really don't. I used a crappy harbor freight bender, wood hole saws screwed to my bench and drywall screws as stops. I hand bent some and even used a propane tank for the windows!

Nope, I have a lot of sand here in SAN DIEGO and need the paddle effect.

Yep, something had to go wrong! It does look cool from certain angles, but the truth is, when I mounted him in the seat and then installed the whole mess, the shoe goo wasn't dried and eventually it let go. It's dry now! I did see his head bobbin today while I was driving. We'll see what happens in the video!

Thanks again guys.8)

[donhd04]

NOPE, YOUR NOT DONE YET. however it looks great and totally awesome. but this was posted yesterday on madram11 facebook page. SCREAMIN 2 IS GETTING A REWORK.

lLOL. Just when you thought you could keep up they go and change something on it.

Nah the moonrover build you did is a complete masterpiece work of art. I would love to have that kind of skill. great job man.

 

[ngward79]

I saw this too, and was about to post it up. Hopefully it doesn't get changed to much it was my favorite buggy. He modified it once before and it didn't change much. Either way I'm sure it will be bad ass.

 

[Bulldog]

Trust me, my rig is done! I don't have much left in me!

I made a video and it's finalizing. Wish me luck!!!8)
