VW "Singletrack" slammer

[Dirty Dave]

When brainstorming project ideas, sometimes I find it helpful to start with backstory rather than just starting with a couple of model parts that happen to fall together, though I've had plenty of projects begin that way as well. In this case, the project was sparked by a conversation in cluding the idea that swap meet spaces were claimed by a first-come, first-served method like the Oklahoma land race, and what kind of hauler one might use to sell at such an event.

I went with a slammed VW singlecab, converted to a halftrack with a roller on the front bumper to help skid over larger obstacles (see the weeds caught in the roller and rear bumper, below). Based on a Freeman Cars VW DRAG TRUCK body and the treads from an old small scale Caterpillar tractor model, I built this slammer:

Way cool, dave! You always come up the best ideas! As usual, the theme detail, such as she weeds in the roller are perfect!
