Dodge truck restoration

[rolltide]

So, I found this at a yard sale for free so I thought I would see what I could do with it.

The problems:

1. The body itself was in terrible shape, someone had brushe painted the entire thing with about 3 coats of different paint. The bady was covered in a glue substance and everything was misfitted.

2. Interior was jjust in rough shape, it was painted silver with paint that looked like it may have been to thin.

3. The chasis and engine were totally shot, I managed to piece the chasis back together, and will probably just build this model curbside with a glued hood.

The first item of business was the body after ALOT of sanding, scraping, puttying, and cursing. It is ready for the primer.

I'll try to keep updates coming.

Is this a Revell Ram GTS (I think that's what it was called?) the pickup with the Viper engine in it?

This is quite an undertaking. Good luck with it and I'll be watching.

That's what it looks like, Charlie- the only other '94-style (T-300?) Ram kits were the AMT/Ertl 2500 and 3500s, which had hoods molded closed and the bed was separate from the cab.

Actually, Charlie, you're close, the truck was called the VTS. The GTS you're thinking of was the Viper GTS Coupe.

Well, after a weekend of work I finally got the body readyfor paint.

I think I did a pretty fair job considering what it was like before.

very well done Joe. Can't wait to see some before and after shots when all is said and done.
