A100 Super Gas....Updated 12/12/18

[1320wayne]

Here is the wip rebuild of the A100 drag truck that will go with my dually and Galaxie trailer. It is being done in a Super Gas or Comp. Eliminator style. The body is a Jimmy Flintstone chopped A100 and the chassis is being upgraded to resemble something a little more accurate than what I had originally built so many years ago. In the pics below all of the styrene in white is all new pieces being added. 

I also cut open the doors to be hinged later on.

I added some wedge to the body sides along with more chassis pieces and wheel tubs.

Coming along nicely.

Terrific. Years ago I'd built something just like it with a Baja Beast VW. Sadly it was in a box of models that disappeared during a military move.

Got a lot more done on the A100. Chassis is all painted along with some home computer generated carbon fiber decals. Both doors are hinged and the tires and wheels are painted and installed. I also created a bed cover. More coming soon.

That is really cool... As a 1:1 it would be scary as hell to drive!

 

[1320wayne]

A reasonably small update. I was able to open the exhaust holes in the side of the body along with getting some color and assembly started on the engine. I also scratched a set of wheelie bars.

I really really like the lines and rake you put on the body Wayne.  The decals are awesome too..........did you do those yourself?   cheers, tim

Excellent work Wayne. The stance is great and the graphics are perfect for this Dodge.

The graphics are homemade on my computer. The US Army markings are from a Slixx Nascar sheet. The rest of the decals will be a mix of homemade and parts box decals.

More decaling done.

This Dodge came out nice Wayne. 

[1320wayne]

Finished off the decals today. Now I can get back to completing the final paint, assembly and detail of the rest of the build.
