Trailer Trash Kustomz

I sell about 3-5 a week average, which I see as decent since I'm still just getting into casting. I'm not really looking to do it as a business though. If I can sell enough parts to make my hobby pay for itself then I'm happy. It makes me feel good to be able to bring parts to the community that people want in order to build a dif ride from someone else and make it their own. I've been working on a 7.3 powerstroke in my spare time as well, but between getting blasted by a guy here on the MCM forum for not using the correct block to base from and Meng coming out with the f350 with a diesel I stalled that project until last week. Then I said what the heck, I'm doing it for myself, but if others need it will be here for them too. I used the gas block from the red 90s f350 dually kit (monogram?) as the base block to build from. I figured it would be a rather easy conversion for the builders. I didn't really think about block accuracy when I started doing the build.

I scratch built and have been casting a 12v 5.9 cummins for a few months now.

Glad is can be a small part in this sweet project bro! I'll def be following this build for sure. Love this trucks body style and the ambition you're putting into making it your own

Which ones you going after Ben?

Ben, I've been very impressed with your parts and vast selection. I have yet to order anything from you, but I suggest you to people on dif Facebook model pages I'm part of, mainly for your engines and 4x4 items. Keep up the good work brother and we'll be talking soon I'm sure!

Beautiful work bro! I really dig you vision on this one

There's a cummins 12v for ya bro!

Kevin, I am currently casting and selling the cummins engines. Message me and we'll get ya setup!

Ben, you are the man!

Thanks bro, I do my best, but its always a learning experience!

Nice cummins bro. Here's a pic of my scratch built 5.9 12v cummins before I started resin casting it.

Yes, I'm casting the 5.9 12v cummins now. Message me if you need info

97 explorer, rat truck, bucket truck, and 12v cummins

As I stated above, I'm casting a 12v cummins. Message me if you need one.

If your gonna open that hood up, I've got a resin 12v cummins for ya!

I'm resin casting one that I scratch built as well. Message me for info.

I haven't sold one without the tranny in the kit yet, but I'd go around $13-15 without the tranny. I'm open to trades too. Pm me and we'll work something out if you'd like.

I worked up my 99f350 resin kit from a diecast crew dually I have

Here's a resin dually bed for it I'm already making the 99 f350 crew.

There's a guy named Jeff Metzger over on a Facebook resin group that just started casting these

I'm resin casting a 12v cummins at the moment

I understand the difference between 1st and 2nd gen. I was just making a suggestion as I'm not into the race trucks.

If there haven't been any done for NASCAR, like your looking for, I would suggest using the ram vts and modifying it for NASCAR truck series use. I understand there is a lot more to it detail-wise than doing a custom street truck, but that may be your best option. Use styrene to cover over the lights and grill if needed and use light and grill decals from another NASCAR truck/dodge race car (mainly for the grill look of the dodge) or paint the grill/lights yourself. In general I'd say use another NASCAR truck for the basic race truckers and mod the rest ...

Yeah, I pretty much did it as it would be a drop in upgrade, especially for those that have that kit already. Unfortunately, I don't have a 460 laying around. I just wish I had various blocks I could reference off of at will, that would make things a lot easier. Don't take this as me being sarcastic either, bud.
