This one was built using spare parts from several kits.

Cost to build; $10.oo Time to build; 72 hours Scale; 1/25th

Features; Hand fabricated frame, roll bar, seat, handle bars, and body. The body was made of pieces of straight plastic. I heated the plastic and shaped it in to the fenders, then covered then with bondo and sanded in to shape. The fuel tank started out as a model ice chest. I cut the bottom off on an angle then covered it with bondo. The seat was made out of several bucket seats. The rear tires and narrowed axle are from the Swamp Monster and the front from a Scavenger model. Front shocks from a Bigfoot model. The engine from a Funny Car Dragster, and the Carburetors from a USA-1 model. Completely hand painted.
