I was a member here back around 2001-02.I don't even remember what my screen name was.I guess old age will do that to you.I wasn't much of a talker,but i sure learned a lot about building Clods from everyone here.I had several aftermarket chassis Clods,but soon started fabricating my own crawler chassis for my own use.Soon i was building Clods for neighborhood people,father's and sons alike.My best friend and fellow Clodbuster partner in crime passed away in '03 and my collection languished in storage.Most were sold or given away.I kept three shelf queens though,and after digging them out of storage last year they again got shuffled aside in favor of my other hobby,my '91 Z28.I just so happened to run across some old pics of past long gone Clods and thought of this place!I am very happy to see it still exists and seems to be doing well.I haven't looked around too much yet,but the hobby has changed quite a bit.Seems Clods aren't as popular as before.Oh well...Clods are the reason i got into the hobby to start with and it seems they are the reason for my return.Hope i can contribute some and i'm sure i'll learn a lot...again!I have old school trucks for sure.Big and heavy,but fun!One of my trucks was inspired by an old member named Thorbob.Unfortunately it was never completed.One is a Zilla IV chassis Clod,the last that i have left is basically stock.Clod body on a Bullhead chassis.I can't seem to recall too many names of old member's though.One that sticks in my head because i'm a Van Halen fan is Locoboy5150.See ya around the forum.

Welcome back! I was an active member in the early 2000s, and also recently returned. I was 14, 15 at the time and only had a stampede. Now Im filling i that clod void I always dreamed about, and trying to get my 3 year old started. I was happy to see the same forum up and running!

Orange Pedeanaut! Another name i recognize!

What i'm going to do is scan some of my old pics,then dig my trucks out one at a time and start to take new pics.It's amazing that i have any pics at all.I've always been bad about documenting things.Heck...i was so computer illiterate back in the early 2000's that i don't think i ever posted any pics of my trucks.Every pic i have is on paper...sad but true.So many truck never even got thier pic taken.

Thanks for the welcome back guys.

P.S. OP,you have some nice looking trucks.I love the AR too.Another weakness of mine...AR's and Beretta's.

Welcome back aboard.
Thor hasn't been seen in a while, Loco disapeared a little over a year ago. Some old pics would be great to see. Nostalgia is always in. :)

Thank you all for the welcome.Like i said before,i didn't post much,and was too computer illiterate at the time to post pics.I'm still not too slick as i can't get my old pics scanned for some reason.I did however clean up the first of my survivors today and will be posting pics shortly in the Clod section.
