Szczerba’s 66th Build: Swampbuggy Racing

[smog]

I hadn't a clue swamp buggies were even a thing. Pretty wild looking unit. It looks like a praying mantis. I find some modern farm machinery also takes on insectual-like apprarance. This much the same. Thanks for the updates. Stuff as unique as this is always inspiring.

I agree. As another older guy who used to watch these races whenever I found them on tv, your buggy is exactly what I was expecting (hoping) to see when I clicked into this thread. Not sure how I missed it until now, but great job on that build.

wow, pretty unique

first time seeing those swamp buggies, tho

Thanks for the comments guys! Still have it and got the rear tire to wheel attachment figured out. Haven't ran it in a while, just sits. Really just wanted to see if I could pull the build off to somewhat resemble a swamp buggy, haha.

When I hear swamp buggy I think of these racing on TV, lucas oil was the big sponsor I think? The next thought are the big tractor tire equipped porch's you see in FL mud truck events lol.

Great build man with creativity on getting stuff to look like you want.
