RE: Let's see your Monster Truck
The Monster Mutt body starts as a 51 Mercury body from Parma. The original full scale truck is a modified 49 Mercury, but the 51 body is all I could find.
The body gets modified enough that it doesn't really matter. The grandson really likes it, but I really hate to tear it up with my style of driving.

RE: Let's see your Monster Truck
This used to be my Grave digger truck that I beat on like someone else owned it
I am building another truck just for beating on, does anyone know what body I can modify to look like the Tom Meents Maximum Destruction SUV truck?
Loading pictures is a challenge with my lightning fast 56 k dial up, so one at a time I guess.

RE: Let's see your Monster Truck
Thanks...its actually a 4.6 with a 8.0 body. I brought the Mini brand new and won the MGT on ebay for $130 with the mach 427 already installed. The 427 ran great for about 10 tanks, then... Sadly the engine wouldn't start anymore...waiting on a brand new Ofna Force .32 from ebay ($80)

What did you use to make the tongue and ears? I really want one to make one. I think my grandkids will love it and my wife of 37 years said she might drive it!

The "tail" is a GM screw on antenna covered in three different sizes of fuel hose and blended together with a grinder and covered with felt. It bolts to another aluminum square on the rear bumper mounts.
The "ears" were pieces of imitation leather scraps from the local Walmart. In describing the size of imitation leather pieces I wanted, the lady kept asking what I wanted such short pieces for, so.... I told her! I am making ears for my dog! She thought I was loosing my marbles.
Maybe I am at that............robwiljas, thanks for the info on the Max-D body, I"ll do some more searching.
