Sportabout Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 I started A100 last spring with my eager helper who finds all fallen parts and they can be found in her mouth if you are fast. This is an interesting kit because it is very simple but the body is quite good. Body is missing some details and they has been mostly corrected. Painted body. Colors are Turf Green and Dodge Truck White. Engine, brake and gas pedal are installed. Bed flooring is 0,6 mm lacquered birch veneer. Interior parts: dual gate console shifter, widened doghouse with opening cover for 426 Wedge, better tach and stolen police shot gun. Chassis: steering and brake linkages , better Chrysler 8 3/4" rear end, front and rear shocks, front disks and brake booster. Front shocks were tight to install because inner fenders should be more inwards. Polished body and parts. Next brake and fuel lines and coolant hoses.

espo Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I like the color combination. So used to seeing the "Little Red Wagon" it's nice to see one built in this manor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sportabout Posted October 1, 2018 Author Share Posted October 1, 2018 Hoses and most interior parts are installed. Next job is dashboard. The dashboard will be glued to the hinge retainers and the body. Actually A100 does not have any hinge retainers at all. They could be tossed away but the hinges should be re-made. I'm not going to do it this time because it is too time consuming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sportabout Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 Kit's tail lights are way too big and not embedded as they should. I found smaller tail lights in L-700 box trailer. A100 tail lights holes have be drilled bigger but not nice job to painted body. Drilling broke the paint and it had to be painted again. Re-painting done and tail light inserted.

Sportabout Posted October 27, 2018 Author Share Posted October 27, 2018 Thanks guys i appreciate this. I imagined that A100 would have been easy and quick to do but I started it May 15 and much is still to be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
