*Thunder Chicken by Kiel McClelland*

Finish Date: 10/18/01 (Dale Earnhardt has been gone for 8 months now)

Obviously, this is my newest replica of the big yellow TNT S-10, Thunder Chicken. But as most old monster trucks, the Chicken is sitting outside an auto repair shop, useless, rusting away. It was a favorite truck to almost any monster truck fan, simply because of it's unique name. Maybe someone will bring it back in the monster truck racing world some day. I've preserved it for MTM2, and files dont rust, lol, so it should be around for a while.

my other guys didn't respond >:(

What I made: Everything.

There is nothing stock about this truck at all, I made every single part for it. This was my first truck thay I actually turned a stock body into fiberglass, and didn't use an existing fiberglass body. The truck's cab and nose are heavily changed to fit the classic Chevy S-10 look.

The frame/leaf springs/shocks were all built by me. If the light on the track hits the leaf springs just right, you can actually see the seperate pieces of metal that make up the srpings. And yes, those are holes you see in the wheels. Thunder Chicken had structural holes in the wheels to make them stronger. Since the truck is so wide and long (which it truly was in real life) it handles like nothing I have ever driven in MTM2. You can save Thunder Chicken from near vertical rolls, nose dives, etc. I didn't put headers on the engine, or the verts would've been too high. (Thunder Chicken is a nice 1200 or so)

Haha, yes, those white shocks really do say Trailmaster on em ;)

I actually cut holes in the hood where the carburators stick out, no sissy black textured holes for me, lol.

PAINT:
I did everything by hand, the lettering, the chicken, the grille, the carb textures, everything.
