Mopar - D Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 Well I have the Hot Rod truck finished and built the crate HEMI with the crate but missed the width dimension so the crate will not fit in the back yet. Here some pictures of my current progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 You mentioned lengthening the wheelbase but I don't think you told us how you did that. Did you lengthen the whole frame? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopar - D Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 I cut the frame and added 3/4" to it and adjusted the axle traction rods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I cut the frame and added 3/4" to it and adjusted the axle traction rods. That's what I thought looking at the photos. Thanks for confirming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Cool stuff! Love that one Dan! I've been busy lately but really excited to dig into this kit. I want to do a fruit truck version, probably stock. The molded in fruit was no doubt good enough for the teen age audience when the kit was first issued, but I see it as a good template to make my own from basswood. And I'll dig into a bag of bird seed to find the fruit shapes. Add a bit of paint and you have fruit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
