Bullhead Tribute

[Jeepy2013]

Here's the Bullhead that I was working on awhile back. It's built from 100% all new parts and I wanted it to be a updated version of the classic Bullhead. I basically used Super Clodbuster parts that I had left over from kits, dyed the blue parts black, Bullhead chrome ladder bars, UK Monsters aluminum steering bellcranks and steering links, aluminum anti tilt brackets, 35kg servo, Holmes Hobbies Retro Sport 17t motors with a HW880 ESC. The body is painted with Mopar Plum Crazy Purple and clear coated with 2k automotive clear. I still need a few parts to finish the body (window, fuel tanks, headlight buckets and the roll bar main hoop). Haven't been able to find any at non Ebay scalper prices as of yet. I'm thinking about changing over to some straight exhaust stacks as well which I think will go nicely with the aluminum visor. Hopefully I'll find the parts I need at decent price  some point so I can finish this off...shame that it's been collecting dust.

Great great job. Splendid look & spirit (black chassis gives a nice touch of realism)

If they do a Bullhead Re-re one day, I'll get some!

Some say that the Bullhead is the Clodbuster's ugly cousin and that the original cause of the big bang was a Clodbuster and Bullhead doing a tug of war!!!,  the world imploded causing lots of smaller planets which we now know as our solar system........

All we know is that it's called the Clodbuster, erm I mean Bullhead.

That’s the nicest Bullhead I’ve ever seen 👏

Thank you, they actually did a re-re a few years back, kind of came and went quietly. Maybe they'll do it again....

Thank you, hopefully I can find the parts I need and get it finished up soon. Will be doing some LED's as well to finish it off

[wolfdogstinkus]

I added a few LEDS to my Clodbuster,.....

Then I got carried away.

 

 

 

Just a little bit.

[wolfdogstinkus]

You should put some LED's in the stacks.

Have to find some nice straight ones, otherwise I'll have to make some out of aluminum tube and polish them. I think straight pipes will look good with aluminum visor.

That was a bit more then a few years ago...

[wolfdogstinkus]

I bought one from Tamico probably 3? years ago when I built the 6x6, sold everything apart from the axles as usual.

Clods are addictive, I think I must have had enough axles to build 3 6x6's at one point. Lol.

Errrm ... thank you for the input! I have so many of those blue parts ... why not "simply" dye them?

Cool Item, cool ideas! [Thumbs Up]

Cheers
