Making the 2026 35th Anniversary Snake Bite a bit closer to the real thing.

The windshield and fangs are from a red snake truck, chassis and cage from some other donor truck. Used some axle housings from a Greenlight tube chassis.

Few paint details still to add and it’ll be wrapped up.

I had made these wheels a while back to be used on my OG Snake Bite build that’s been in the works for about 5 years. The wheels are 3d printed with a circle of thin styrene cutout with a paper punch then glued to the front and painted with some neon green.

They work better on this truck and I’ve got a new set of wheels made for that other build.

Snake Bite!!!!

Of course I find two of them in the wild a few days after I overpay for one on eBay.

One to hang. One to open for display. And one to customize.

Also, didn’t realize this red white blue Foot was being re-released for 2026.

This past Saturday I took the trip to Circleville Ohio to visit the Samson/ PEI Open House.

We visited their Open House 10 years ago, back when we only had 1 kid. Now I’ve got 4 kids, but only 3 wanted to take the 5 1/2 hour trek. So if I wasn’t able to meet anyone there, it’s because I was managing 3 crazy kiddos.

Dan Patrick’s facility is immaculate. Each building has a purpose (laser cutting, shock room, tubing bender etc) and they’re all spotless. It’s clear Dan and crew care about what they do for monster trucks.

They had Block Head and Dirt Crew on display outside which the kids (and I) got a kick out of. Out of all the wild concept trucks out these days, these two trucks are very cool and nicely done.

Inside the main shop was the 1994 Samson build that they recently got back. Sounds like they’ll be doing a full restoration on the truck but as it sits, it looks awesome. Samson 2 chassis was there as well underneath all the body panels and memorabilia. hangin on the walls. One that I liked a lot was the original mold for the Samson hood with the arms and fists…1993 if I recall correctly.

Dan’s museum is quite large at the back of the shop and it really is a spectacle. I could spend hours just admiring all of the stuff he has in there. I had to just take a lot of photos because it’s tough to see it all with the kids and the crowd.

What I love the most about the museum is that it’s obvious he loves the industry and monster trucks and the people involved. He’s got a spot for individual trucks as if to tip his hat to the driver / owner. Bigfoot, Snake Bite, Grave Digger are obvious ones but he’s got a spot for Buffalo Tremor and Carolina Crusher and many more. Toys, collectibles, art, posters, custom pieces. Anything you can imagine. It’s awesome.

It’s a museum to show off his love for all monster trucks….something I would dream of having. It’s what I aspire my collection to be but on a much smaller scale. A small spot in my workshop to show appreciation for many of the trucks I grew up with. Definitely inspiration to expand my collection a bit.

We walked around, grabbed some merch, strolled around, ate some food, the kids played on the bounce houses and in the kid zone and then we rode in Samson. Driven by none other than Dan Patrick! What a cool experience being driven around by the man himself. Funny to me that instead of meeting and greeting people he drove his truck around all day haha

Glad we made the trip. Saw a few friends and grabbed some lunch and headed home.

Highly recommend checking out the Samson/PEI open house. They do it every year and it seems like it’s always in early October.

The IXO Ford Aeromax arrived today. What a nice piece this is. A lot of great detail for how the rig sits it its current state. And plenty of heritage from where the rig was years ago when it was in the Bigfoot stable.

I’m betting I’ll pick up a couple more of these to mess around with at some point.

It is also very well packaged. The rig came attached to a nice plastic display base with a tall clear cover. I am an opener of most things, so as to enjoy them whenever possible, so this rig will sit in my collection outside of the package and not connected to the base.

As a diorama/scenery maker, I try to repurpose as much stuff as I can. Package material, leftover, cut offs, donor parts etc. This display case will be used for something else; maybe a wheel stand display one day. 🤔

I believe this is my first IXO piece in my collection and it gives me hope for what’s coming from them in the future. Looks like they do great work and awesome details and spot-on scale. There’s some 80s Ford that’ll be available soon from IXO and I’ve got a few on pre-order.
