MCM Regular (3/6)

  1. This is my build of the retro Bigfoot Trophy Truck. As my title states I’m not sure which Bigfoot this one is but here is my build so far.
  2. these are all the Bigfoots I built that ran with the leaf springs before the stadium/race style trucks. ‘79 Original ‘80-‘86 body style ‘87-‘91 body style ’92-‘96 body style The last one is not quite exact but it’s close enough for me. And now a group photo
  3. That’s pretty cool, thanks. Your work certainly surpasses mine. I like how you took the time to move the rear wheel well forward for a true 8’ bed. I went the easy way and slid the fender flare as forward as I could then trimmed out behind the flare to give it a more accurate look. Your interior work looks awesome too. My Bigfoots 1-3 are done and I’m still working on what I will call Bigfoots 4&15.
  4. I wanted to do an old school body style USA-1 monster truck but could not figure out how to do the fender flares. Shower rings, clear plastic shower rings. I cut them to fit the height I wanted and then dremeled to fit the body contour. Still need to round out the bottoms but this is what we got so far.
  5. Thanks everyone for the info. Here is my plan and what I’ve done so far. Shower curtain rings. I can get two per ring and I have only one partially complete. This is a rough mock up. I think once painted it should look good. It’s worth a shot.
  6. Here is what I have so far. The chassis is almost complete and the body is painted for #4. The ‘79 on the racing frame I have the body painted and half of the chassis done. Thought I would mock them up to show the progress so far. One pic of them together.
  7. I am asking if anyone makes these or if anyone is willing to 3D print if they are not that expensive. This is the truck I’m working on to make an early USA-1. These are the flares on the USA-1 I am looking for. Thanks in advance.
  8. Did a little more tonight. Finished the driver compartment and now need to paint the body. Started working on my 1979 body that I’m going to put on the stadium racing frame. I did a mock up to see roughly how it’s going to look. This is the kit I’m using for the 79 body on a racing frame. This one is going to be a fun build.
  9. We got some progress done on my Bigfoot 3 and the start of what I am going to call my Bigfoot 4. Bigfoot 3 is still missing windows, bumpers, roll bars and not everything I glued down. Here are some mock ups of my Bigfoot 4 with the 1992 body on a frame. I am using the engine, axles, wheels, tires and driver compartment from the stadium truck chassis. some group shots of 1, 2 & 3
