MCM Ohana

MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. While everyone else was going more of a fast and nimble approach, I decided to go the route of Dennis "mad dog" menesini with a brute of of cannonball racer. I started off with amts d100 kit and a bunch of 3d printed parts and ended up with a early 70s d300 dually. Powering this beast is a dual carbed 440 with a 4 speed. While not the fastest vehicle, road blocks won't be a problem for this behemoth. The higher ride height also allows for some off road short cuts. Chassis mods include full custom exhaust,secondary fuel tank, and conversion to dually layout. The interior mods include floor shifter, road maps, c/b radio, carpeting, sunglasses,ect.. The exterior is just a simple red paint job with 3d printed dually flares modified to fit the dodge bed. Under the aftermarket camper topper is an assortment of tools, Jerry cans,ect.
  2. We'll be here when you make a comeback man. Praying for a speedy recovery
  3. Thank you! It's a nice conversion kit, my first time working with 3d parts. It took me almost as long to pick out a paint scheme as it did to build it lol
  4. Got this cab for my birthday, it's from global trucks. Used an astro as a donor. Following mods include: *shortened the frame by around 2" *shortened the fuel tanks. *converted to single axel using the spring and axel from a freightliner *converted the 8v71 to 6v71. Also made the fan to be a crank driven one. Lowered the radiator to fit. *added little details to the interior, sunglasses, map, magazine, model car kit, curtains, and roof mounted cb. *also added roof mounted ac unit, grab handles, photo etched windshield wipers, and mudflaps.
  5. Got this finished up, will add more photos to an underglass post
  6. After finishing up the astro as a test run, I'm building the crackerbox I got for my birthday. A gmc astro donated its frame, freightliner rear axel and springs. So far I shortened the frame,fuel tanks, modified the intake and exhaust pipes, made new mud flaps, and converted the 8v71 to a 6v71.
  7. Thank you, it was definitely worth the extra time
  8. Thank you l, it was a fun project to take on
