Being a gentleman of mild white-trash sensibilities I had to buy the Gravedigger the first time I saw it in my local supermarket.
Built it the same evening but I was disappointed by the huge front bumper, which Lego no doubt added to protect the axle from over-zealous pullback motor antics. I love the Gravediggers mad front end that hangs out like a jawless skull so I decided to do something about it.
I’ve got no stockpile of Lego, so I concluded that the quickest and cheapest option after a structural investigation, was to remove three holes from both of the main chassis pieces. After wrestling the offending parts free, a hacksaw and a file made quick work of the unwanted holes. The rough ends are hidden at the back when back in place, pleased with the result.
