Ira Posted May 18, 2015 Author Posted May 18, 2015 Ira those to represent "fangs"? I don't think so. They do look a little like Fangs though...
Ira Posted May 19, 2015 Author Posted May 19, 2015 Coming along nicely. I like how you keep adding little details. Thanks Ray!
Ira Posted May 20, 2015 Author Posted May 20, 2015 Cut It Out! I decided to cut out the recessed section of the old Tailigate area. I used the Cut Off Wheel and an 1/16" Drill bit for the cutting. Next I filled the opening below the Tailigate area with a strip of plastic. Then I cut off the excess and sanded the area smooth. More Coming...

Ira Posted May 21, 2015 Author Posted May 21, 2015 Grill! I am sanding the edges of some plastic strip to make the rear Grill Bars. I cut the Horizontal Bar first and glued it in with Zap-A-Gap. Here are the Vertical Bars in place. More Coming...
misterNNL Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 The new crossed bars remind me of the front grille design of several of the current Chrysler products.
426-Hemi Posted May 21, 2015 Posted May 21, 2015 The new crossed bars remind me of the front grille design of several of the current Chrysler products. I was imagining the "Charger" SRT myself, you?
slusher Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 You have some more ideas going Ira. I am wondering what is next....
Ira Posted May 22, 2015 Author Posted May 22, 2015 More Lights! I removed the chrome from the grill and glued it in place. Then I measured for the locations of holes for new High-Power Lights. I started the holes with an X-Acto Knife then I opened them up with a Reamer. More Coming...
Ira Posted May 22, 2015 Author Posted May 22, 2015 This is a really cool build. How about a sat dish or other kinda of antenae on the roof. And maybe the Italeri crane behind the cab??? be Well Gator Thanks for the Suggestion Gator! Antennas would be Great. I'm thinking about putting Solar Panels on the Roof too...
Ira Posted May 23, 2015 Author Posted May 23, 2015 Thrusters! I am adding Thruster Engines to the Dodger. These are from the little MPC X-Wing Fighter. I used the Circle Template to draw the Hole Lines. I started the Holes with an X-Acto Knife and opened up the Holes with the Reamer. More Coming...
Ira Posted May 23, 2015 Author Posted May 23, 2015 So much better Ira. look more futuristic Thanks Carl!
Ira Posted May 24, 2015 Author Posted May 24, 2015 Recessed Lights! I cut some sheet plastic to fit behind the Headlights and the 2 New Lights. Instead of using the stock Headlight Housings I'm going to attach the Headlights to the New Plastic Backing. This will recess the Headlights about 3/16". I also backed the Holes for the Thrusters the same way. More Coming...
426-Hemi Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 -Good GAWD, where are you taking this thing Ira!? I'm almost afraid to ask!
