Scott Eriksen

,,,,,,,,,I was gonna do another truck build but I've been sitting on this one for awhile so here we go (I'm sure I will change my mind when I get back from the NNL on Saturday) If anyone else has done this build I'm open for tips/tricks ! (use the curbside Caliente body and running gear from the Fairlane)

..........done

............getting close....bits and pieces

If I could find decals I'd do it,,,I guess Bedlam Creations could make them

SMP > SMP Decals - Model Car Decals, Decals, Decal Supplier

Thanks Ron,,,I got some wheels from the 69 GTX Pro street kit that look pretty close and I had some skinny no name tires in the parts bin,,,keeping the roll bar in this one kit stock

I drilled out the kits velocity stacks, they fit the 3D print carbs pretty good!

.........tub together except for roll bar,,,resin A100 van seats with drilled aluminum seat brackets ,Hurst shifter with reverse lock out,window pull straps

................did a little today,,,shot the clear ,,hemi built and in the chassis ,,,,working on interior tub

Thanks Ricky,you can see the full build in the Work In Progress section

Haven't seen any

Thanks Jerry ,he had a little bit of everything too!

I'm still on B/O from Hobbylinc from last December !

Up on the bench now ,,,,shot the body and some parts yesterday,,decaling today ,, this will be the 4speed rendition of Ron's Dart,,he bounced back and forth between the Torqueflite and the 833,,pretty much a stock build ,Revell Hemi Dart kit,using Fireball Modelworks 3116 Holley's and other detail parts .Paint is Tamiya Chrome Yellow,SMP Decals

Outstanding!

Pictures of the build are in the WIP

............jesssus just what we need,,another SCOTT !! lol welcome aboard!

Slixx did the 64-65 cars and there's the decals from the Revell Landy Charger I think thats as close as your gonna get

Finished her up today

.............another crappy day ,,couldn't work outside so I finished up the Reo....put on all the do-dads ,lights..made the tarp mechanism ,,west coast mirrors with spots ,the kits mirrors weren't too bad so I used them instead of making a set out of aluminum tubing ,,,undecided on doing some weathering or not,,,maybe get some HO scale coal to use as asphalt .Think I'm going to build another Super Stock Hemi car next,a small inbetweener from the trucks

Looks good Steve!

.............starting to get nice out which means yard work and sitting out on the deck,,,but anyway,,,a little more progress made- dump body mounted,,fabbed up telescopic aluminum tubing to replace the plastic hyd rams in the kit (wont stay up without a prop though) ran the air brake/fuel lines some brackets have to be made yet.Made a PTO and direct drive dump pump and hyd reservoir.Installed radiator stay rods .Made and installed rubber mudflaps-fronts need the carriage bolts in the fenders yet.Painted the Dayton spoke wheels,brake drums and mounted with Jamie's tires (I was going to use 2hole Budds but only had 20") Installed aluminum tube driveshafts with slip yokes.Front bumper mounted ,,wip making better brackets. Rain tomorrow so I'll probably shoot the mirrors/cab lights and airhorns/headlight buckets/door handles and front signals with Alclad ,,come up with some tail lights.Grill needs some more black wash ,,I was going to drill it all out but.... I'm going to make up an electric tarp deal,picked up some fabric at the Dollar Tree !

The mufflers and shields are Auslowe,,I made up the pipes going to them with aluminum tubing and parts from other kits

Yep! Same with Brockway and Mack cabs

Same with me yard work time!
