  1. Love the truck Terry! thanks for sharing it! Just curious as to what tires you have on it?
  2. Paint looks fantastic Mike!
  3. YA I NOW RIGHT! I LOVE THESE OLD DODGES! I also have a LRE turned lowered street machine Pro-Touring style beast I am building along side these!
  4. That's the color I was going for!
  5. On eof my favorite Mopars and one of my all time favorite models to build. Not the greatest model but I bet I have build 10 of these ove my lifetime. Sadly most ended in the trash as a kid. I built this about 6 years ago. Built it in 2 days for a Local Mopar car show. It came in 2nd place! Color is a GM color. Ultra Marine Blue. I probably would have hunted for a acutal Chrysler color but this was close to the blue I wanted. I seperated the ehaust from the rear axle, added my owm aluminum tubing tips, & raised the rear end to fit the big Goodyear meats. I also added power steering to it. I build it as I would have a actual car. It is finished. well sort of. I still would like to add rear shocks and maybe mist some primer down the center of the chassis to mimic the look of a acutal car more. I would also like to try to BMF it. I just wanted to share a finished build on here! Let me know what you think!
  6. She is looking sharp!!! Cigar foil! My dad smokes cigars. Looks like I am hitting him up for his foil! lol!

    62 Belair

    Very stunning Bel-Air!!!! Fits along very nicely with your Nova and Chevelle!
  9. I can hear the turbo spoolin' up already!
  10. Just going to throw these teaser pics in here for now. She will get her own log soon! a few quick mock up pics trying to figure out how much I will need to lift her. and a couple together! I have never had a Ramcharger kit yill now. It has it's pros and cons, as does the AMT pickup. I think the AMT kit is actually the better kit. Even with a lot of flaws in it. It is a much easier platform to better replicate a 1:1 truck. I have a 79 Dodge as part of my family since 1983 and IMO the AMT kit is the better kit. The proportions are better and the body lines not as crisp/edgy as the Monogram kit. I am still very happy to finally have it in my MOPAR collection!
  11. Nice work on a truely unique model!
  12. FRICKEN SWEET!!!! Very nicely build! LOVE all the detail you put in this! I am building a 77 Dodge Power Wagon stepside the smae way! Any chassis pics?
  13. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe I will try to do that to my leftovers! Or ...just putting this out there for you or anyone else interested, i have one I would be willing to left go of.
  14. Sweet! don't see alot painted white. One of my all time Favorite MOPARS!
  15. AWESOME!!! Very well executed! Would love a real one to thrash on!
  16. I did and found them. I have searched many sites and have only found like 10 or so builds with pics! I know there are more out there!
  17. Pm'd ya back! Still looking for built pics of these everyone!
  18. Heading to the Post Office today to pick up the Ramcharger! Sounds weird, but now having a "3rd leg" on this build should only help me pick up some steam on finishing these!
  19. Keep all the pics and info coming! I head to the post office today to pick mine up! I hope that the motor/trans is all that is missing from mine!
  20. I have decided to do both. I am going to make the one I already made bigger and I am going to Make a rear mount one. Then I will see what one looks better! On another NOTE! These 2 Power Wagons will very soon be joined by a Ramcharger!!!!
  21. Not much work done to her lately. I did some work on the frame/chassis. What would be the cab floorboard. removed some material to make a lil more clearance for the exhaust tubing. bought some 3/32 brass rod for the exhaust. I think I am going to pick up some aluminum scupting wire and try that. the brass is good but I can't quite get a tight enough bend in one spot. I really want mufflers that look like Flowmasters, so I think i am going to scratchbuild some or alter some to look more like a flowmaster 40 series. Still kicking around what to do for a fuel tank. just make the one I already made bigger and deeper. Scratchbuild a tank to set in the rear of the frame? I am torn because I really like the stock location and the easily accessable filler neck. I also like the rear mounted tank but I don't want the filler neck to be in the bed of the truck. That really wouldn't be feasible if this was a real truck so I have that stuck in my head. PLus I don't want to carve a fuel door into a rear fender. that's the only way I feasibly see how it could be done. open to any ideas! SO if you have any let me know!
  22. Fantastic job so far! Paints looks killer! I never had this Daytona kit but I do have 4 of the old Monogram snap kits. 2 red ones and 2 black ones. Seeing your build, I KNOW one of these kits will make it into my scale MOPAR collection real soon!
  23. Love to color combo and the theme for it! Also love the fact that straight six is the powerplant and not the usual V8! Terrific job!
