1980 1979 1978

That's incorrect. I worked for Mopar for 6 years. The quad lights was a one year only model and there was no upper or lower level to it. If you bought a '79, you got quad lights no matter what trim level you bought with the truck. No if you like you could put a quad light set up in any year truck from '72 to '93 cause all this stuff will swap, but it wont make it right for the yeat vehicle you have.

Yep, as long as you put in the dual headlights instead of the quads. The step side beds are all the same from '72 to when ever the last year they used them. Only step side I ever owned was a '78 Trail Duster 4x4.

Welcome,anytime. They went with the flat hoods on 80 and up, but that would be a dual headlight only, not a quad. So, who ever told you 79 was only off by one year. '80 was kinda a make over year for the body. So if you use the quad lights, you are pretty much stuck with a scalloped hood to make it look correct. The body is pretty much unchanged from '72 to '79 and all panels will change up till '93 if you put the right pieces together to make it look right. 1994 was the first year for the swoopy fenders. Some say it was taken from the Studebaker trucks and I have actually seen a pic of both trucks side by side, so they may be right after all. I do know the '94 up trucks are more areo though.

The flat hood is wrong for a '79, it should use the scalloped hood. '79 was the only model year for a Dodge truck with 4 headlights. All other years have two headlights. I'm working on a LRE truck right now. Where can I find some of these kits and decals? Would love to build a Warlock to go with my LRE. I have a prebuilt 4x4 step side coming in the mail right now that I want to strip down and rebuild when it gets here.

Nice old school circle track car you got there.

And I think we have a winner folks ... lol

I'm sure you have more connections than I have. You know, those 5 stars kinda look like some old 308 Ferrari type wheels. Maybe a kit bashing??

Once you go Mopar, you'll never go back. Everything else is all slow and boring after you been with a Mopar. And yes, there's a help group. http://www.moparperformancechat.forumotion.net lol

Hope you find some wheels for it. Those things should go in the garbage can. Looks like something from a low rider jumpin car. lol

You have to use super glue type glue on resin. Glues with cyanoacrylate in it. Don't breath the dust when you sand it. Use a good priner before painting too. I'm sure others with more exp. with it than me will add more to this.

Model

White wire goes to outlet. Black wire goes to one side of dimmer. Take black wire from dimmer to other side of outlet. Greens ground so they just have to match up somewhere.

I'd pass on the compressed air cans. You can get a small Campbell Hausefeld air compressor with a 2.5 gallon tank from Lowes for less than $100 and it includes hoses, regs, acc. and a dang nail gun. Then just plug in a cheap water trap by the same brand as the compressor and hook up a cheap air brush. I have a big compressor in my shop, but I am tired of having to climb over stuff to turn the regulator down, so I am going Friday to pick up one of these and I'm going to build me a new paint booth too with a paper and charcoal air filter set up.

I'd just get the paint code of your car and take it to a local paint mixer for car paints and have them mix you up a quart and then spray it. Quart will be wayyy to much, but I don't think my local guys will mix less than a quart. If you do that, it will have to match then.

Yeah, that's just my luck. I always have to go the extra distance ... lol.

Thanks for posting. I've got a couple black cars that I am getting ready to airbrush. Know where you can get this stuff at? I don't remember seeing it around here in stores or parts houses.

Looks as close to real as you can get to me. Nice job.

Nice ride you built there.

Green or a bare copper wire is always a ground. Black and White are your neutral and hot wires. The switches should be marked so you can hook it all up.

Looks like the same boat that I have in a Revell kit called Gone Fishin. Has teh same trailer and came with a Dodge RamCharger 4x4. Pretty neat little set up.

Thanks. I have a good collection of circle,drag, and street cars. Have a decent tech folder set up with engine and chassis pics of certain things. Mostly Mopar though since I used them on a Mopar board to help people fix there real cars with. I'll be glad to help anyone out with a ref pic if I have it or know where to get it.

Not bad at all. Don't know if you saw this post yet, but take a look at it. I posted a lot of kit car pics of the real thing for Dave if you want to take a look. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=18882

I had an idea. Put some led's behind the brake light lens when you install them. Cool mood lighting ... lol

I use a Visa All Access Debit card from www.netspend.com When I get gas, I put some money on it for online purchases. That way if I get hacked, they wont get anything from my bank accounts. Much safer and it only cost $2.00 ea time you add money to it. Bought several recently off of emodlers and e bay and such.
