This is what I love about this hobby. Here's a subject that's not in my baleywick (there, finally used that one! ) and yet...I love it! I really dig the whole thing, especially the intake setup.

Thanks, my friends. Well, this puppy is fresh out of the drying cabinet. Foil and decals are next . . . but you know, I could not resist playing with the basic components. Enjoy . . .









Looks frog like, doesn't it? LOL.

Here are a few more:

Here it is double-topless:





Unfortunately this is what happened when I showed EYEGORE the progress so far:

When you do shiny, it sure is different. That's 'bout as cool a bogger as I've seen yet.

[Dr. Cranky]

Thanks, Bill, now it's been confirmed that this might not be EYEGORE's eyeball but Jim S's. LOL!

[Futurabat]

It does kinda look frog-like...did you assemble it with ribbits? (I kill me!)

I'm really liking the SHINY here, doc. Why bother with rust when SHINY RULES!

Lmao !

God bless him , Virgil ! He still try's to complete the transformation from rust to shiny permanence ! Jim , he'd just end up being a back slider ! Sooner or later the rust would clog the artery going to the brain and down he'd slide , back into the pit ! Better to have him sitting on the fence giving each side a fair taste of what twists their watch spring !

I'm waiting .......... Decals ? Chrome ? Etc ? Stuff your turkey on your own time , not ours ! Lets get this show on the road ! Lmao !

[Dr. Cranky]

LOL, you guys just keep making my day. It's coming, we are foiling next, and then the decals, and then final assembly with a finish of well spattered muds in some of the edges of the rocker panels. Shiny with some mud. Yes, that's what the doctor called for.

Stay tuned in.

Doc...have an Idea you could pull off. Research the "Monster Mutt" monster truck...look at the big tongue in the grill. You and Eyegore could do springy mounted eyeballs in the headlight sockets...The picture with the Eye gave me the thought.

Oh, Greg, that's a great idea . . . I just have to make some right diameter springs and do the eyeballs . . . THAT would look cool. Thank you.

Being the fastest and loudest in the swamp it'll find a mate for sure, it...uhoh! I just had a thought that's gonna lead to a whole mess a therapy!

Can't wait to see it muddered up!

[Dr. Cranky]

Jacen, it's going to have a little bit of mud, I am trying to keep it subtle. I hope. I think.

A little bit? With tires like that? Okay...if you say so.

[Dr. Cranky]

LOL, okay, maybe just a little more than a little.
