I got the BMF on the bed and clear coated it and once it dries I’ll paint the black in the side trim.

That is looking really nice! And that interior looks awesome.

I really like their paint and on this one I used Tamiya clear.

I got the BMF finished on the club cab, I just have to do a little clean up on the black for the side trim. I didn’t do the back window yet because I’m going to try and make a sliding rear window for it. And it’s been clear coated.

I started doing some BMF and clear coated the hood.

Wow what a great build Chuck! Love what you did with it and the weathering looks awesome!

I started with a hogans heroes jeep kit and it comes with the Willys grille. I built this for a friend who is giving it to his dad as a Christmas gift and was built to look like the 1 to 1 Jeep they are having restored for his dad. I had to fill in the spot where the shovels would have been and I added a gas filler tube. Paint is Scale Finishes that Jameton match for me to the 1 to 1 Jeep. I also mounted the spare tire to the right rear of the body.

I don’t believe that was the question that was asked? But hey go start you own post and ask it! just my two cents! ??

Moving kind of slow on this project. Did a little work on the engine and detailing the wheel covers.

Man what a cool project!

Thanks

Thanks

Started on the engine.

Got a few more parts painted including doing the two tone on the tailgate. And just to see how it would look as a 4X4 I put some 4X4 suspension parts on a spare chassis.

Messed around with ride height in the rear. Tried using the leaf springs from the lil red express, but since those are really 4x4 ones it was sitting way too high in the rear. So I made lift blocks and got it where I wanted it. I also decided to paint the inter fender wells body color.

I’m making it and you can send me a email to hgresin@gmail.com no website yet, but you can find us on Facebook at holy grail resin.

Got up this morning and taped off for the 2nd color and man am I happy I went with this color combo! I do have a few small spots to touch up that shouldn’t be too hard to fix.

I’m finally getting around to building one of my resin Dodge Club Cab’s. I’m painting it a factory two tone light gold & bronze using Scale Finishes paint.

The grille is made from a MPC original kit. It was stripped and the backside was sanded to open the grille up and then the backside of the headlights were Polish and a mold was made of it. Greg Wann worked on the grilles & molds for days to get them just right. I bought some 3D printed grilles and was very disappointed in them as they were just a flat and didn’t look right.

We started with original MPC parts, that bed is a copy from one of mine kits that has the trim on it. I just have a few old MPC Dodge truck kits. I have added 5 more since this photo was taken.

Okay we have set a price on this trans kit. It will be $100 shipped if you choose a plain resin grille and $110 if you want the grille in clear resin. Kit comes with cab, interior tub, long bed, tailgate, hood , valance, chassis and your choice of 72 to 73 or 74 to 76 grilles. If interested please send email to hgresin@gmail.com to be added to the list.

You can send a email to hgresin@gmail.com and I will put you on the list. As for the short beds? I'm not sure yet. Thanks, Marty

Thanks! I’m at the shop casting them up right now.

This has been a long project of mine that is getting closer to the finish line. It started with me buying a project from someone who claimed it was ready to be cast. What I got was a pile of junk that required lot of work to get it right and thanks to Mike Schnur who fixed all of the issues with the Club cab. I also had to fix the issue with the chassis and the interior tub was done with the help of Glen Ford and none of this would have been possible without the help of master caster himself Greg Wann! Thank you all for your help with this project guys!! This is where we are at the moment. The Club Cab, interior tub, chassis, grille’s for the 72 to 73 and 74 to 76 and bed molds are done. We are moving on to make the rest of the molds needed for this trans kit. Hood, tailgate. And yes short bed’s are in the works as well as the chassis for them.

Model Car Garage is working on a photo-etch set for the Dodge truck and it will have the 200 in it.
