Kruzn Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 (edited) I built the Dodge A100 monster truck many years ago (approx. 1990). It has a number of scratchbuilt features including forward-tilting body, working simulated hydraulic cylinders for body and steering, working 4-wheel steering, full wiring & plumbing, etc. At the same time I started a rebuild of an old IMC Dodge L700 to match the MT. The frame was stretched and a tag axle added. An IMC Big Rig semi trailer donated it's floor for a custom drop-deck trailer. The project stalled and went into a box. I recently got it out and was determined to get it finished! This is the result. The ramps store under the trailer deck. Trailer wheels, tires and suspension came from AMT 1/32 reefer trailer Edited February 16, 2021 by Kruzn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to see you you were able to get your project completely finished. What’s next? Thanks! Well...I really need to finish the 1/25 '64 Tempest wagon project I started a couple years ago. But first I need to get a 1:1 Honda 550 running so I can sell it. Edited February 14, 2021 by Kruzn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kruzn Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) Well... I thought it was done.... With the load on the trailer I discovered that the trailer was bowing at the joint between the drop deck and the upper deck. I was concerned that long-term display with the load would result in permanent tweak of the trailer. So...I added a couple heavy duty triangular supports disguised as a toolbox. NOW it's done...I hope! Edited February 16, 2021 by Kruzn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
