krishna.iskandana Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Hello again guys, Here's another model which was inspired by one of overhaulin' episodes, a 1964 Dodge A-100 pick up from linberg. I lowered the ride heights (which was more complicated than I expected) and changed the wheels to 23" pegasus wheels. The color is tamiya black and mica silver with bright mica red stripping. Let me know what you think and thanks for looking. Regards Krishna Iskandana
Sixties Sam Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Very nice! I always liked those flat-nosed pickups and vans. Great color scheme! Sam
Jon Cole Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 That's one of the best looking A-100's I've ever seen! Nice work! What Plowboy said! That is about as cool as they get!
Mooneyzs Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 That is a very nice build. I like how it turned out. Great job!!
ra7c7er Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 Looks great. I like your color choices and the wheels look nice too.
randx0 Posted April 1, 2011 Posted April 1, 2011 great job ! I always like your clean building style.
Bruce Poage Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 Wow! That looks really great. I've got that kit on the shelf and may now be encouraged open it open and get started. Can you pass along any suggestions on how you altered the suspension to accomodagte the 23"s.

Hello Bruce, I cut off those sections pointed by red arrows to make the ride sits lower and I scratchbuilt new axles to incorporate the wheels. Unfortunately, I am currently working in another city and I left the model back in my hometown, therefore I cant take the picture of the undercarriage. hope this helps. I thank everyone else for their kind appreciations regards krishna
bsoder Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 Man I remember when those (1:1s) came out...but I don't recall any looking near that nice!! I score a 10+
MikeMc Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 In 1:1 it would never go :D the 225 six couldn't turn those tires over, and those front meats...can't turn... .BUT this is MODELING!!!! :P ;) I'm lovin it!! Well done on an old pie plate truck B)
