Sportabout Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 (edited) Dodge A100 pickup is finally ready. This was quite challenging kit to built but It's great that this has been done with all its deficiencys. I really enjoyed to build this because I like old Dodges. Engine is 426 Commando from Lindberg Belvedere '64 kit. Hope you like pictures.

leafsprings Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Excellent job! Looks very nostalgic, like the tires, wheels and color choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classicgas Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Beautiful. Is that the correct location for the master cylinder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I followed your build on this and really like hoe it turned out. All of the detailing you did during the build shows. I like the subdued factory type colors you used on the body. The bed looks perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucky Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Fabulous build on this vehicle! I don't remember seeing too many of these A100 pickups back in the day. This is great!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusher Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Good looking Dodge. Really nice touch on the engine. What color and Brad paint did you use for the green? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What color and Brad paint did you use for the green? I used Mipa OC HS spray paint, color code 0-6-01720-500 and it was very near to Dodge truck color Turf Green when I compared it to original Dodge paint chip. In the US it is a lot easier because many paint shops sell aerosol cans with right original colors: http://www.automotivetouchup.com/touch-up-paint/dodge/1965/all-models/ and many other shops. I can't order flammable spray cans overseas from the US so I had to buy color chips first from ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classicgas Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Thanks, but I was referring to the real trucks dash that you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goose1957 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 That turned out very nice. I was following your build and saw how much kitbashing and scratchbuilding you had to do to make it more stock appearing. Very good job on your Dodge build. I might have to try that one someday.

Very nice built-up of that A100! Kari! I've had this kit for many years, but for whatever reason I've done nothing with it. Super nice and clean that is and a quite nice inspiration! Lee, you could always use the "snipping tool" found in your OS. I have to use that at times for pages that won't let you copy and save the pic if it's something I REALLY need for a reference.
