JB_Hobbies Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Hello guys, been working on this, it took two 95 dodge snap kits for the body, scratch built the chassis...Still A LOT to do! Thanks for the look, JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabrux Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Looks good! Might've been easier to start with a Lindberg monster truck, though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB_Hobbies Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 Thanks guys for the nice comments. Kataranga, I love the challenge of scratch building my owe chassis, the monster truck chassis would've probably worker though. DR. Those wheels are from Jim at micronitro.....All I can say...there simply awesome! I will be adding brass lug nuts & valve stem detail The chassis is made up from brass & aluminum tubing, with sprinkled in plastic for good measure! I'm not a big WIP kinda guy, so this is my first ( I usually just build, build, build with no pics), but I'm trying to slow down & take a few pics. Hope you like, Here's a little progress scratch dash: Front end, with mounted pumpkin, & aluminum u-joints, & a peek at the aluminum coil overs: And another quick mock up: Thanks, JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris guthro Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 that dash looks cool! i like the brass idea for the tube chassis! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romell R Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Good job on this truck man love the chassis work. the dash looks good too but I think you would do your build more justice if you make the gauge cluster from scratch instead of the decal, just my opinion do your thang man!

JB_Hobbies Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 The gauge cluster is scratch, is has PE bezels with 5 min epoxy "glass", just can't see it in the photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
