uncle potts Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 hi Randy, more unrealistic work I see, it looks like you are about to wrap up the cab and chassis, I love the fact you put a big block mopar under the hood instead of a more common power plant, it just adds to the over all uniqueness of the build, the quality of craftsmanship is unreal my friend!!, excuse me now while I take my stuff outside and back over it with my car STOP! send it to me. Just kidding....Nice work Randy , like always you continue to amaze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest G Holding Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) Randy- This project continues to get more amazing with each piece. Are you planning on taking it to GSL when it is done? It would certainly be a runaway for best of show. 100% correct Pete....right now, with nothing more needed I couldn't see what could beat this masterpiece Humbling Sir !

mrhernandez Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 All this work just to let the neighborhood kids play with it! JK Quite honestly this is the most amazing scale model I have ever seen built. I can only think of one word to describe this, INSANE.

Austin T Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 What's next, A curved windshield in scale made or real glass? If you could make that I think you would forever be remembered as the man who could build anything in the modeling community. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy D Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 Sorry that no pics came thru , seem to be having issues getting a post right tonite ! Hi Austin, Lucky for me this truck has all flat pieces Still playing around with the glass, can get it curve with heat but hard to control. Need to find larger pieces of this thickness to have something to work with. I had sent Bill D. some pics showing the size of the slides to see if would work on his'Cuda... Research continues. Small update, Building up the gas pedal and linkage along with some work a dash... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy D Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 Thanks Ed Hi Mark, "Scale Hardware" I think these were the 1.0 size. Works for the large size rims and tires on this one. I used the .7 or .8 ones for my door car dragster project. Hi Richard, Glad you like it so far!! Hey Bill, They will the same style as the plastic ones, just out of metal. Just don't hold your breath waiting to see a pic Hi Alyn, Thank you for that !! Randy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
