Too bad yu built a Chubby Jaffa, yu wouldn't believe how many Chubbys are stuck in tha mud boggs in tha 'Glades. Tha Chubby faithful continue to believe that Chubbys have enough torque to grunt their way outa trouble, they don't and they break. Then they fire up tha CB radio and holler... HALP!! I'm STUCK, Come and get me! :roll: :roll: :roll:

What shows up, a BB Ford, to pick up tha survivors, they leave tha chubby in da swamp, too hard to pull out. Rent a plane sometime and fly over tha outskirts of tha "Glades" chubby after chubby, stuck fast and now used as bird perches. :D:lol::lol:

BTW, that's called a Mudskipper, and those tires will get ya stuck in tha 'Glades. :D

'Glades=Everglades Swamp

Great imagination Jaffa, nice scratchbuild.....Q-tip rollbar...... :lol::lol:

Thanks for the praise, and the little story, now ill have to add a bigger engine...

About the tires i think ill add sum big@$$ studs later on.

GHEE!!

Modelmartin,

Those tyres wud be way cool!, ya got any dimensions, such as rim diameter

and outer diameter??

Posted

They would be 1.5" O.D., .600 I.D. and .850 wide. The fronts are about 1/8th narrower. PM your address to me and I will send you however many you need for your project. I am doing them for my Web-guy Clint and I just pour extra resin in the mold here and there.

Okey, ill have a look at theese dimensions and see if i can machine some

rims to 'em, what ya want in exchange??

And also, i need some help with this build, anyone knows a way to make

bolt heads, i want to make em for the front rims, and ther shocks??

Also would like some ideas of what to do with that lower edge off the seat

it looks very bad like it is now:
