    Cool pics! Thanks for posting those, I was actually looking for a couple of those. I remember seeing the one (where the Bigfoot is sitting with no wheels or tires and all the junk on it) from that old Attex site. Take a close look at that picture and you'll see a poly Hustler rear seat/engine cover with the factory cargo rack sitting on the deck of the Attex Bigfoot.

    I was more interested by the fact that Mike has not censored a photo with someone giving the finger to the camera man. Must not of really wanted to sell it.

    Been awhile since I looked at this thread,real glad to see that MattO and the young upstart have taken renewed interest in this project,as I understand it from reading various posts Matt is hip deep in taking his vision to the next level talking about the Mudd Ox,it is understood that the level of commitment to make a dent or make it anywhere in the manufacturing world today can erode a persons time and desire,this sport would have not even got off the drawing board without people willing to risk it all and then play catch up with their own company,and to lend time to a resto project to a one off piece of AATV history well Kudo,s to you guys.Cheers NCT

    I looked at that and concluded that he may have had a cigarette

    For the past few months we've been talking about getting it running and turning it into a party barge for cruising around Ashtabula. Camper lights, lawn chairs with umbrellas, the works Yesterday at dinner we decided we need to check out the rigidity of the boxes that the drivetrain runs through, to make sure it will hold up. With the Jeep project (hopefully) done in March we're bringing the racers in, then would be the Bigfoot.

    The ATTEX 1000 Bigfoot. I saw one at a trade show many years back (30+ years). I watched a film about it there and climbed on the machine. My thinking then as now was that it was an evolutionary dead end without much possibility of getting into mass production and going forward. It looked like it was awkward to handle and grossly underpowered. If one became stuck it would be a major ordeal to unstick it.

    I love a rebuilt old machine, but it seems to be this would take a lot of time and resources and really what would it show? That Attex had a failure.

    My two cents is to lay this thing out in the back fourty.

    Hope this doesn't hurt anyone's feelings.

    A better deal would be for a manufacturer to bring back the smaller and more successful line-up like a new run of Superchiefs, hint hint.
