nothing worthwhile to report. Been too busy working on real cars! always seem to happen this time of year for me. I can finally get outside and wrench in decent weather! As soon as my real car rids itself of a gremlin I am chasing I can get back to at least the stepside. I would like to have it done by june for a big Mopar car show i will be going to.

Have always loved the Dodge Powerwagons. Here's a couple pics of a few I have done. The yellow one started out as the MPC 78 4x4 pickup. The green truck,started in 2003 and still not finished was also built from a MPC 78 4x4 pickup. I did use an early grill on the green truck.
The beds and welders were scratch-built. The green trucks frame and most of the suspension was also scratch-built. Bumpers,hitches also scratched.
Keep us posted on your builds! Brad

A package from Canada!? I knew there would be a package waiting in my mail box from California, but Canada as well!?
Got inside and opened it up and more parts for my Ramcharger!!!

Chris you really helped make my day yesterday! I OWE YOU! Thanks again! With your help I should be able to get it started!
