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.

We'll be here when you make a comeback man. Praying for a speedy recovery

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

Thank you!

Thank you!

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.

Got this finished up, will add more photos to an underglass post

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.

Turned out great!

Thank you, it was definitely worth the extra time

Thank you l, it was a fun project to take on

Thank you

Thank you, only took me two trys lol

Thank you!

Thank you!

Started off as an experiment to see if I could successfully cut down a sleeper to day cab configuration. Also shortened the the frame and fuel tanks, converted to single axel. Decals are from the new reissue. Modified the cb to be more realistic and added a hat to the passenger seat

Quick update, got the truck finished. I'll take more pictures tomorrow and do an under glass post. Thanks again everyone for following and have a great weekend.

Took two tries but it turned out pretty well

That's pretty cool! I wish I had the space for more trailers to do something similar

The kits cb is almost just a face plate so I ended up making it wider. The cord was originally molded in, so I cut it off and made one out of real wire

Yeah that sounds cool let's see some pictures of it!

Got the interior done. Modified the kits c/b

Got the frame painted and assembled. Chopped up and modified the kits exhaust to work with the shorter wheelbase. Trying to settle on a color for the cab and running the air foil or not.

Spent a good part of the day fiddling around with mount locations. Shortened the fuel tanks as well

Shortened the frame and swapped to a single drive
