Romell R Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 (edited) Hey Fellas i havent been around in a while but i wanted to show this build as it went down. This truck is accually done but i had a few people ask me to post the build pictures. I started with a resin cast of a Ford F350 cab made by my buddy Jamie at SSB resins and it evolved from there i hope you enjoy these pic I will be posting over the next few days. here the doors have already been removed and bracing has been put in to support the cab i also compleated a bumper heres some work done on the dicast bed the bed is from an F350 promo, I started the fender flaires too Edited May 13, 2010 by Aftashox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romell R Posted May 4, 2010 Author Share Posted May 4, 2010 (edited) This is the motor from the mustang kit i was gonna use but it turned out to be a bit too small for this monster Then I decided to purchase a Ross Gibson Ford 815 mountain motor its resin and highly detailed As you can see there are plenty of parts this kit is a project in itself... This is the simi finished power plant compaired to the mustang motor Stay tuned for more to come!!! Edited May 4, 2010 by Aftashox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WickedWelder Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Did you scratch build your shocks? If so what did you use? I have a project coming up that shocks like that would be perfect.

Romell R Posted May 5, 2010 Author Share Posted May 5, 2010 Hello again! i wanted something differant than just a lifted pickup so I decided that i would make this a lifted dually LOL so heres the pics of the steps I took to make that happen. I had my old 70's GMC dually so i cut the fenders off and gluded them on the dicast Ford bed. but they need to be smoothed and rounded a bit so that was my next job. Dually fendeds ment i had to buy a second set of tires and rims OH BOY! heres a mock up with the tires i have whata think? Here the fenders are starting to take shape Stay tuned more to come!!!

Keep up the great work. I am definetly following this thread! gary Hey Gary the shocks are made from aluminum tubbing you can purchase from your local hobby store, some stores even sell bags of assort metal tubbing if you can find them there great for all sorts of things. i forgot what size the tubbing is because I pretty much just eyeball the size i need.

Romell R Posted May 5, 2010 Author Share Posted May 5, 2010 Here Im starting to get some frame work done (can you tell im a detail hound?) Frame supports for the front shock are almost complete I did soo much reserch to make sure this part was right. Here the rear axle is comming together.... Rear axle with 4 link setup.... Rear shocks comming together... And finally a mock up of the rear end..... Stay tuned more to come.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romell R Posted May 6, 2010 Author Share Posted May 6, 2010 (edited) Hey Fellas here are a couple pics of the completed video screens there are 6 screens in all and each has a picture of the "Master Chief" from Halo I took a digital picture from the video game and had them shrunk down to size there really clear altough you can see that here. I hope you enjoy these. P.S. hes upside down on this pic because these hang from the ceiling This one is sooo small I had to glue it to a rod just to work on it. LOL!

Romell R Posted May 6, 2010 Author Share Posted May 6, 2010 (edited) Ok body work is done and every thing is ready for paint so it all gets a few thin coats of primer 1st. Notice the tail lights have been filled in... i relocated them to the rear Edited May 6, 2010 by Aftashox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romell R Posted May 6, 2010 Author Share Posted May 6, 2010 (edited) I figured if i was about to spray I better hang the door so they et an even coating, its very eazy to mess up a paint at this point by not having the same amount of paint on all the body parts. here you can see how the hinge works to swing the door inside the body panel. this is a correct hinge. Once all my doors were hung i noticed that a gap was too big so i repaired it before i went any further now she ready for the base coat of siler HOK paint Stay tuned for more to come...
