View Full Version : Project MOON Buggy 70s style + more to come...
bobhch 03-07-2009, 08:12 PM I had Amy the fingernail decal gal from E-Bay make these decals up for me a long time ago. Now, with the weather being nice for just a few days (not anymore) here in Nebraska, was able to Phsssht some white on some C-Cabs and slap some decals on them. *slap slap*

Need to put a number on the hood, paint interior red, hit the headlights and gas cap with some silver, add a head and passenger still. Going for the 70s look on this one.
I'm going back in to do some more work on this one right now with a big cheesy smile on my face the whole time. Think you will all be surprised with the passenger on this one. (Hint this is a a "Moon" buggy. :D
Bob...more buggies with C-Cabs coming soon...zilla

Yeah Kraz I think you figured it out with my subtle hints.

slotnewbie69, You mean those BIG chromey AW things...NO WAY! Hey I could see how you would think that with all the Moon and space theory. I'll give you a second chance now. What do you think the heads will be on the next Ambulance Buggy? I will give you a hint...Dead End Decals are going to be used on this one.
Bob...To Infinity and Beyond...zilla
slotcarman12078 03-09-2009, 10:06 PM Wow!! That dude ain't waitin for anyone to buckle up!! Nice job Mr. Bob...Play on words...Zilla!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
PS... If I was driving I'd either be looking where I'm going, or at the chick half hangin out the car!!!! This guy looks like he's looking for a new girlfriend already.. and his old one is only halfway gone!!! :lol:
I like guessing games!!! But do they make homie zombies??? Horrorclix to the rescue!!

actually it was due to you and utherjoe talkin about those heads in a previous post,but i will see if i am up to the challenge!lol!i wasn't surprised to see the moon,should have seen that one coming!at least ya kept it clean fer the kids!:pbut straight off the top of my head,either zombies or cops with breathalizers....
krazcustoms 03-10-2009, 12:05 AM Hahahaha!! Yes, I was expecting something more explicit, but it's good that you kept it clean. Nice buggy!
bobhch 03-14-2009, 05:32 AM The only reason the Indy car body is in the picture is to get Richs attention...LOL
Well this is a Major Project in the works. I want a faster buggy so, a Tyco Turbo Hopper chassis is being used with a Highly Modified AW Sand Van body mounted on it. Will need to figure out who the driver of this Streaker is gonna be before to long. :woohoo: Don's look Ethel...
The Zilla is no Tyco guru and doesn't do many Tyco builds. This just seemed fun and I do like some Tyco cars as a couple of my cases have Tyco Pro, A TEAM, Wes Customs etc. in them.
Hey all you AFXers and Aurora lovers don't give me any grief on this build O.K. Tyco collectors are people to...well sorta. :lol: Just kidding. :rolleyes:
This thing is going to look a lot different than it does now. Can you say Fenders flared out more, nip & tuck and rear body lengthened? I thought you could...

This was an idea that was conjured up in Chat Wed Night. I have been X-Acto-ing & sanding this future beach bound Dream Buggy tonight and have a long way to go. Heck I may even cast this if it turns out the way I hope it does.
The sides are going to come down further and there will be a body mount nub that will mount in the bottom square dealy-ma-job to hold it in place along with front and rear tabs inside the body to keep this thing stable.
Yeah I have some other projects that need to get finished but, just decided to jump to this one as it has been in my brain for a long time. I get to design a Dune Buggy of my own!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bob...I think I will call this "the Streak"...zilla
slotcarman12078 03-14-2009, 10:03 AM Wow!!! That was blazingly fast Mr. Bob... I can make any chassis fit any body given 5 minutes and an exacto...Zilla. I didn't think you could get that hopper under there!! Nice whittling!!! How do ya do it??? :freak: I'm bamboozled!!
joez870 03-14-2009, 11:51 AM Oh now this is gonna be good!
Great concept, Bob! :thumbsup:
slotcarman12078 03-14-2009, 01:11 PM Hmm... I can't help but think that chassis and that indy body with a dunebuggy wing on the top!! Excellent dirt track potential.. LOL!!
Hilltop Raceway 03-14-2009, 01:27 PM This could be a speedbuggy!!! RM
bobhch 03-15-2009, 11:30 PM Going to give the Tyco buggy project a rest for a couple of days. To much of a good thing or just plain need to get away from it for a while?
Here is an Ambulance with some decals I designed & Amy the finger nail decal gal made up for me. Rrrrrrrrrrrr, rrrrrrrrrr
http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc339/1970peaches/aabatty16.jpg
I still need to cast up one of those emergency lights off of a junk Scre-e-eatchers car for the top. This build has also been trapped in a portion of my Skull for a long time. Now getting part of it out has made more room for other ideas.
Bob...Dead End decal goes on this one...zilla
resinmonger 03-16-2009, 12:37 AM Zilla, that makes me wanna get hurt so I can ride in it to the track hospital! Sweet man!
