TheGall Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 (edited) Hello, name is Matt Gall, a mid-40's builder in the Houston Texas area. I'm looking to learn more and meet network with others in the hobby. I've been building on and off most of my life, with lots of time off in between, working on my education, career and raising a family. I've been building more often over the last couple years and have really enjoyed this hobby. So, group of friends and myself started a group on Facebook called "The Build Lab", where we build live with whomever would like to join in on the fun. It has been great to help motivate each other, share tips & tricks, all while building in a social group format! I know it's not for everybody, but I've really and enjoyed it and.... NO MORE building alone for me. haha Anyway, thought I'd introduce myself, say hello and share a couple of my builds.

TheGall Posted November 11, 2022 Author Share Posted November 11, 2022 This was my most recent completed build, something I call the MudStang. Lots of 3D printed parts and custom work done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBD Yes, I saw it in the mock-up thread. That is what led me to your introductory post. A little extreme for my tastes…but it is a truck!😎 It looks like you must have a 3d printer?

I plan to build a few more Bronco's, but pretty sure this one will have steerable Rockwell axles under it once I'm done designing and printing them. Printing has taken kit bashing to an entirely new level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
