junkyardjeff Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Seeing the other one I just had to build my own from some junk A parts I had laying around,its a combination of AMT and Monogram parts.
James2 Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 These little purpose built vehicles are very interesting and fun to build.
junkyardjeff Posted January 10, 2017 Author Posted January 10, 2017 I need to find me some more correct 1 1/2 ton truck wheels to make it look better.
espo Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 This and the other build both follow the prototype. Most people built these with what they had in addition to their own ability. This looks like a fun build, got me to thinking this might be the next build fad.

junkyardjeff Posted January 10, 2017 Author Posted January 10, 2017 I kind of wish I never seen the other build as this one is keeping me off the other projects but I am using up some junk parts that would have never been used.
junkyardjeff Posted January 11, 2017 Author Posted January 11, 2017 Some more progress and can not do more until I hit the hobby shop,I am also going to build a trailer out of a 53 Ford p/u bed I made into a trailer years ago but needed parts off of it so I will have to make a new frame for it. the trailer is going to be cobbled up just like the doodlebug.
junkyardjeff Posted January 11, 2017 Author Posted January 11, 2017 I think I have a located a full hood and might put a roof over the seats to make it a all weather doodlebug if I can find something that I can make a roof out off that would look correct.
mchook Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 Jeff, I love it! Keep going! As for a "Doodle Bug Community Build" I'm all in!!! LETS DO IT!!!
junkyardjeff Posted January 11, 2017 Author Posted January 11, 2017 Its a good way to use up parts that are not good enough for other builds.
junkyardjeff Posted January 11, 2017 Author Posted January 11, 2017 Do not need no springs on the trailer,just weld the axle to the frame and two unusable 40 Ford rims
junkyardjeff Posted January 12, 2017 Author Posted January 12, 2017 Trailer done and need a tool box and gas can so no walking back to the barn when running out.
junkyardjeff Posted January 19, 2017 Author Posted January 19, 2017 Starting to look like something and a fun way to use up parts that are not good enough for nice builds,I have a couple things to add then I can call it done.
