  1. I am liking where this is going. Lots of amazing work on it. I love the Some amazing work going on with these two projects! I love the look of the front of this from this angle. The front clip on the woody body is gorgeous! Later-
  2. Yeah, now that looks RIGHT! Beautiful work!! Later-
  3. I finished this earlier this week (my second this week). My local club has a build-off of any kit from Ollie's. I started with the 96 Ram VTS pickup. Wanting to do something different I thought- Why not a "what if Dodge offered a Ramcharger based on this pickup" idea. I left off the rear cab wall and scratched in a pass through bed floor. I had to convert the front bench seat into two amd narrowed a second bench for the rear of the bed. I modified a 80's Ramcharger 4x4 frame and suspension and added modified fender flares from my parts box. Tires and wheels are from the Revell Jeep kit. Scratchbuilt ehaust.(needs paint touched up.) The hardest part was scratchbuilding a roll cage to fit from the dash to the tailgate. The hood is modified using a center section from a Viper ACR kit. The rear of the Viper hood hat to be trimmed and the grilles in the hood had to be cut out and moved forward. The paint isn't the best but then, either was the paint on the 1/1's back then. That's about all. Easy Peasy......not! Later-
  4. Finished it tonight just before the club meeting. I'll get it unde glass tomorrow. Later-
  5. Looks good. Should be able to find a 3D printed box for it pretty easily. Later-
  6. Thank you everyone! Later-
  7. Getting closer. Another mock up. Got the interior, roll cage and rear seat installed. Later-
  8. Yes I got them from him and yes, I watch his channel. He has some GREAT builds. Later-
  9. Thanks everybody! Glad you like it. Later-
  10. Thank you. It has a great look to me too. Thank you. I appreciate it David. Thank you. It turned out much better than I expected. Later-
  11. Looking good! Nice work so far. I have several rebuilder square bodys. Someday I'll have to try my hand at a crew cab. Later-
  12. Back to work on this. Got the rollbar and the beltline and fender flares painted. Need to do a bit of clean up on a couple of spots.Time to finish up the shocks. Later-
  13. Thank you! Thanks! I agree. Later-
  14. Just finished this build. I combined the front clip from the Testors 38 Ford Vantastic kit with the rear of the AMT Wagon Rod. I had to section the body through the doors in a couple of spots to keep the hood from sitting like a ramp, which means I had to adjust a bit of the height of the dash and door panels. First picture shows the cuts and second shows how much the height was reduced. Other than that the only other change was some 3D printed tires and wheels and some parts box taillights. Color is Testors Icy Blue over grey primer and I brushed several colors of paints for the wood grain. Enjoy! Later-
  15. Got these in the mail today. Now I can start using some of the tires in the package. I was afraid to before because I only had one of the tire sets. The 305 has been a kit I have wanted for years. My Dad had a 65 305 Dream all throughout my childhood. Now that I have this he tells me the kit is of a Super Hawk and not a Dream. Oh Well. Close enough of a starting point to build a model of his Dream. Later-
  16. Got these in today in a trade on FB. Later-
  17. Got the engine finished and installed and the wood on the underside detail painted tonight. Still plugging along. Later-
  18. Got a bit more work done on this one. Got the steering wheel painted and installed. Initial paint on the door panels and seats. Also settled on a paint for the frame, engine and rear suspension. Later-
  19. Gorgeous build! Very subtle. As a matter of fact I was thinking that it should have been sectioned too until I saw that you had! Not over the top. Just right! Later-
  20. Just unboxed this from a trade with SamIAm. Thanks Buddy! Plans are a Watson style build. Later-
  21. Here is where I'm at now. Finished the "woodgrain" but I may go back and drybrush more grey and silver over the dark blue to get more of a contrast between the body and blue woodgrain. Also finished the dash. Later-
  22. Wow! Those pics make the woodgrain look black. It's actually a dark blue with grey and silver drybrushed on. Later-
  23. Playing with this idea tonight while watching TV. I like this front end better than the stock kit. Later-
