Dutzie Posted September 27, 2020 Posted September 27, 2020 I want to apologize for not being active lately. Life has taken a few crazy turns in the past few months. It’s good to know there is always a place here to get away from some of life’s issues. Thanks to you all. The Dodge is finished. I made a few boneheaded mistakes but it still turned out decent.
Mopar - D Posted September 27, 2020 Posted September 27, 2020 Nice Dodge! What kit did you use for your donor? I’m getting ready to build my 3rd one.
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted September 27, 2020 Posted September 27, 2020 Brian you did a great job on this one! I like the weathered look you came up with. You have really captured the vintage look of these old trucks. I really like this one!!

I used the the AMT GMC Astro for the donor. Don’t forget to move the exhaust closer to the cab and notch the frame so the cab will tilt.

I like showroom paint jobs too but a weathered truck gives more of a sense of realism, IMO.

angelo7 Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 I always wanted to learn to weather like this. This one is nice.
kilrathy10 Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 This is an excellent build... Very nice work... The weathering is awesome...
extmcdriver Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 Fantastic work, really came out nicely.
AmericanMuscleFan Posted September 29, 2020 Posted September 29, 2020 Nice job Brian, very realistic weathering, looks like It is back from a long haul. I don't remember the last time I saw a real one on the road. Well done sir!!!
Ack! Ack-ack! Posted September 29, 2020 Posted September 29, 2020 Interesting model, I like the very cubic look!
TECHMAN Posted October 2, 2020 Posted October 2, 2020 ??? Looks like a serious old workhorse!!! Class one job on the build!!! Was that one of Dave Natalie's cabs? DJ

I don’t remember seeing any of these on the road, but I have seen a few at truck shows many years ago. On 9/29/2020 at 12:38 PM, Ack! Ack-ack! said: Interesting model, I like the very cubic look! Thanks. It’s definitely a boxy cab. 21 hours ago, TECHMAN said: ??? Looks like a serious old workhorse!!! Class one job on the build!!! Was that one of Dave Natalie's cabs? DJ Thanks DJ. Yes, the cab is from Dave and was great as always. Edited October 3, 2020 by Dutzie See
Plastheniker Posted October 3, 2020 Posted October 3, 2020 Something really different! I like the simple colour scheme and the moderate weathering. I have the same cab in my stash, I don't hope that I need a second life to build it.
