Mopar - D Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 This is a build I've been planning for some time now and I've been on a car hauler building run and have one more to add. im starting with the old AMT Li'L Gasser and a roll back deck from a guy on eBay. Here's a mock up of what I'm planning. It will have a HEMI and be painted with HEMI Orange. I have not decided on what will be on the deck yet.

MGL Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Cool idea, I've seen that roll-back bed on e-bay and was wondering if it was worth the price. I will be following this build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunajammer Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Well that's something you don't see every day. I'm definitely interested in where this could go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopar - D Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 I finished my 39 Dodge custom hauler and now have this one on the bench to start making some progress. Not to much so far I've glued the cab sections together and working on cleaning up the glue joints. (It comes in 5 pieces ) still test fitting and working on ideas to add to it. I'm looking at turning the exhaust in to stacks going up right before the bed. I received the tool boxes this is where I'm looking at putting them at.

Mopar - D Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 Small update this weekend worked no attaching the bed to the frame and also cut the frame. Started assembling the Hemi to check the fit. Looks like it will go in the frame with the headers from the Dart. I plan to have the exhaust run under the cab section and then turn to the out side and up in to stacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopar - D Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 Spent some time this morning working on this but not much progress I was not satisfied with how I connected the bed to the frame to tilt so I removed the old one and built new connectors now it sits flat on the frame. Also prime red the Hemi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopar - D Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 A little more progress today I added the new frame rails and painted the engine. Also added some body putty to the seams on the cab. I'm out of gray primer and my Hobby Lobby was also out so next week I will be able to finish priming the cab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
