Dodge A100 pickup

[Sportabout]

Dodge A100 pickup is finally ready. This was quite challenging kit to built but It's great that this has been done with all its deficiencys. I really enjoyed to build this because I like old Dodges. Engine is 426 Commando from Lindberg Belvedere '64 kit.

Hope you like pictures.

Totally dig this build! Love the color combo, well done!

[Lordmodelbuilder]

Very clean build! You did this kit right!

[leafsprings]

Excellent job! Looks very nostalgic, like the tires, wheels and color choice.

Beautiful. Is that the correct location for the master cylinder?

Yes it is:

I followed your build on this and really like hoe it turned out. All of the detailing you did during the build shows. I like the subdued factory type colors you used on the body. The bed looks perfect.

[Classicgas]

Could you post the image of the real dash from your web page?

Fabulous build on this vehicle! I don't remember seeing too many of these A100 pickups back in the day.

This is great!!

Good looking Dodge. Really nice touch on the engine. What color and Brad paint did you use for the green?

I used Mipa OC HS spray paint, color code 0-6-01720-500 and it was very near to Dodge truck color Turf Green when I compared it to original Dodge paint chip.

In the US it is a lot easier because many paint shops sell aerosol cans with right original colors: http://www.automotivetouchup.com/touch-up-paint/dodge/1965/all-models/

and many other shops. I can't order flammable spray cans overseas from the US so I had to buy color chips first from ebay.

Here is a picture of the dashboard.

Thanks, but I was referring to the real trucks dash that you have.

That turned out very nice.  I was following your build and saw how much kitbashing and scratchbuilding you had to do to make it more stock appearing. Very good job on your Dodge build. I might have to try that one someday.

You have a photo of a real truck dash on your web page.

You mean this photo:

What about it? It was only reference picture of a dash.

 

[Classicgas]

Yes. I was asking you to post it here. Your page won't allow copying to a folder. Thanks.

Very very nice.  This may be the best looking a100 model I have ever scene.

Very nice built-up of that A100! Kari! I've had this kit for many years, but for whatever reason I've done nothing with it.

Super nice and clean that is and a quite nice inspiration!  

Lee, you could always use the "snipping tool" found in your OS. I have to use that at times for pages that won't let you copy and save the pic if it's something I REALLY need for a reference.
