Spike Posted February 3, 2009 Author Posted February 3, 2009 well i had gotten this 46 tow truck not too long ago but wasnt to happy with it, so i took it apart to paint it got the cab painted red, got sand it smooth n give it another coat and clear and i got the bed floor painted
Spike Posted February 7, 2009 Author Posted February 7, 2009 remember this?? well i had gotten another ram kit from biarittz so i decided to do some figurin on what all i gotta do to it 1st off i went to put the back piece of the cab on and it protruded for the front of the box, so it wasnt gonna work so i took 5 minutes and made one from sheet styrene mocked it up with the box and lucky me i dont have to shorten the frame at all
Spike Posted February 7, 2009 Author Posted February 7, 2009 also got some paint work done on the 46 dodge tow truck, and yes i know theres a chip in the rear fender
Spike Posted February 7, 2009 Author Posted February 7, 2009 heres the truck im tryin to resemble with the 46 dodge tow truck. its a lil different, but close enough for me lol
Spike Posted February 7, 2009 Author Posted February 7, 2009 looky looky what i got today started tarin into the green one got a caddy grille, but gotta do some chopping on it and you can see where this is goin
RodneyBad Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 this ones for you zuk Sweeet, ya got tires for em.. I Figured you'd have it stripped and primed by now It's gonna look great..
Spike Posted February 8, 2009 Author Posted February 8, 2009 not in primer yet, but its stripped down already had to chop the lil nubs off the ends of the "axles" so i could get the wires to fit in the wheel wells correctly found a old glue bomb motor to chop up to fit in the engine bay and i think this is the stance ill have it sittin at, maybe a lil lower in the rear but not sure yet
RodneyBad Posted February 8, 2009 Posted February 8, 2009 not in primer yet, but its stripped down already i think this is the stance ill have it sittin at, maybe a lil lower in the rear but not sure yet Good looking Stance and Homie looks ready to go..
Spike Posted February 9, 2009 Author Posted February 9, 2009 well of course the molded in engine just wasnt cuttin it for me so i chopped it up had to do a lil cuttin to the chassis so that the motor would fit in it made my own shifter handle (still gotta paint the know as an 8 ball) and tilt lever (left the blinker lever cuz the 1:1 is black and bigger then the others)
Spike Posted February 9, 2009 Author Posted February 9, 2009 workin on the landu top got a motor, other one was too big made my tail pipes and decided to change up the pose to ass down nose up (also painted the spokes black)
Spike Posted February 10, 2009 Author Posted February 10, 2009 well i painted the dash, but wasnt happy with it so i chopped the glove box door off cuz it dont match mine lol made the innerds to house the PS2 got a rear window from a caddy model and did a lil detailin under the hood
Spike Posted February 11, 2009 Author Posted February 11, 2009 had to do a lil "extra" choppin had to take the one side of the glove box off, and cut some of the bottom out had to use a dremel and grind away at the extra metal under the dash just so the dam hindge would clear but then the PS2 wouldnt fit so i had to cut a chunk out of that and now the PS2 fits and all is hunky dory
Spike Posted February 11, 2009 Author Posted February 11, 2009 almost done with the dash, just gotta add the PS2, glove box door, and paint the shift knob ruff idea on how im gonna do the headlight/blinkers and a VERY rough start on the vinyl top
Spike Posted February 12, 2009 Author Posted February 12, 2009 small update, got the blinkers corrected, had to make my own
RodneyBad Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 (edited) Dash, PS II and top is looking good. What did you do to the Blinkers. Front ones? I see that you put them above the headlights. What are you gonna do about the side Vents? Glue some on with Shoe-Goo? Psssstt.. IF you take the http// out of your sig on your Cardomain site it will be a Direct link.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------- M.C.B.A. WI. chapter 1987 Chrysler Fifth Avenue (Training Day Chrysler)--http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2647481 1973 Dodge Dart Sport (project Money Eater)--http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2934209 That didn't work.

Spike Posted February 12, 2009 Author Posted February 12, 2009 haha ya im just too lazy to change my sig links lol not sure what im gonna do boutthe side vents yet, still gotta figure that out i got the sidemarker lights (got from the dip lights) the front blinkers i chopped up the ones i had on it for the "uprights" and used a piece of clear plastic from packaging and scuffed it up with 600 grit sandpaper so it aint crystal clear. about the shoe-glue, thats what the broken driver side was glued on with, i took it off and replaced it with a good one from a parts fender
Spike Posted February 14, 2009 Author Posted February 14, 2009 gotta thanks 85 biarittz for the caddy button tuck seats found a pair of 69 road runner headrests that fit perfect found a washer and overflow jugs n painted em up last night, still might add another coat and this had to have been the hardest part, turning the optima yellow top into a red top :biggrin:
Spike Posted February 15, 2009 Author Posted February 15, 2009 well building may be a lil slow now while workin on the chassis on the 5th ave replica so itll sit right when i put it back in the box, my brand new knife slipped and sliced my left hand between the index finger and middle finger, had to go to the ER and get stitches
