Decided to leave Plymouth rusty with black front end

like front salvaged from another car in wrecking yard

if I do paint it it will be olive drab green camo

think I have the front end fixed with idea just had

going to make 2 axle mounts to lower from frome to

where it needs to be at.

My 53 ford pick up idea is most likely a no go missing

all parts but cab and what is left of bed from attemp at

flat bed build. migh savlage it into something not sure

new classes start at college the 5thso time will be short

again.

[Blake Rogers]

well now i have some things to show you guys so you guys don't think i don't care any more about my tread that i started

enjoy

[jedimastergary]

Dang those are cool nice to bad I do not have anything to make one of those

My buggy is almost done thought it was then found I left some parts off

like gas cans,AxeShovel and I still want to make a hood so i can add a

skull decal. Plymouth is on hold while I figure out few problems it

has.

Been scrounging up parts for my 1953 ford pickup/truck got cool idea

and today was good day found some scrap model tree parts I wanted for build

not sure what kind of motor it will get working on 2 frames so I can pick best

one for it a stock frame and a 1955 Chevy pick up frame think chevy will be the

one as it makes it sit higher. Hope it works out as planned plan is cool

[Dr. Cranky]

Those Mad Maxx renderings are way cool!! Thanks for sharing them!

[Railfreak78]

I'd LOVE to make that dump truck WOW!

[Blake Rogers]

i knew you guys would like them hence ya i started this build. working up were am now i get to see a lot of these trucks and it got me thinking. mostly the water tankers they used on the oil sands to keep the dust down. dude i think it would be pretty easy the hard part is finding a kit to use

[Railfreak78]

Maybe try to pass a Tonka off as plastic

[jedimastergary]

They are killer got anymore pics like those?

Today I started work on my 1953c Ford idea

so far decided to use 1955 chevy frame, rear axle

front axle(for now) depends on wheels and tires

have to decide what to do about no interior tub

might try to use the Chevy one.

Really want to get pics of this one as it is

"KILLER" the look of the body.

Hope to get a digital camera soon got a

little spending money and after leaving some

of my models behind when I moved 2 years ago

I want to at least have photos in case it happens

again when I move so I can rebuild them

[Blake Rogers]

gray can't wait to see them. and brian you make a good point but i remember seeing a model/models of those heavy haulers as we call them up here some were just can't remember

[jedimastergary]

I have a question does it have to start as a model or can we use other things?

I have a cool idea for something I found today and if it is ok I will try to turn

it into a vehicle for the build.

[Blake Rogers]

gray there is only one RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!! there are none do what ever you want bud

[jedimastergary]

Okwill toy with idea then next week end planing a trip out of town

for weekend and going to visit a couple places that sell models will

see what I can find for my secret build project.

If I get camera will take pics of all but body of it and post them

then in end I will unvail my body. Now I have to do some more research

on my plans oh so many ideas for it how many will I be able to fit into

build.

Current builds a 1953 wrecker, and a stalled 1958 Plymouth currently

a 6 wheeler with only 4 rear tires touching the ground front ones in

air have to lower front axle

[Blake Rogers]

wicked cant wait

[jedimastergary]

Well got bit of work done on my 1953 wrecker

cut the 55 Chevy interior to fit it and trimmed

firewall a bit to work in ford body, made grill,

wicked bumper got horns on it and a roof light

need tires and wheels, to make the old 1941

Plymouth 6 cylinder motor fit, add paint to frame

build interior(seat,dash) build a exhaust, wrecker

unit that is beat up and broken from use then put

it together and it will be done.

After watching Death Race got few ideas for how

these things should look so after a trip this weekend

to restock supplies and mabey find some kits at thrift

stores will be on to building again.

two ectos?

[supermike]

[jedimastergary]

Justt got back from a weekend trip out of town and

I had no luck finding any weaponry at the hobby shop

or other place that sold models I went to, Also forgot

to buy lastic tube and sheet for my supply stock oh well

will just use what I can find around house when get back

to building.

I got a digital camera soon as I read up on it and load

the softwear into my laptop I can try some pics of what

I have got so far.
