96 dodge ram dually conversion

[diymirage]

hey guys

with the boy turning 6 months old last saterday my modeling time has severly decreased over the last 6 months

so i thought i would try my hand at a snap kit that i bought assembled from a fellow member

it started of as a 96 dodge ram 2500 dually

i lowered the front suspension (gotta love metal axles)

added a set of custom wheels

chopped the heart out of the rear wheels and glued them into a a 3/4 inch long section of 5/8th ID tube and slapped on some mickey thompson sportsman tires

i then scratch build a toolbox (not sure on the finish, it looks a little too new)

and slapped a coat of true blue pearl on it

i added some glitter nailpolish through the airbrush and topped everything off with 3 coats of clear

since this is a snap kit it has no engine

to give the look of one i added a shaker scoop from a 71 cuda to the hood

all thats left now is finding a good ramp (the one in the pictures is from a semi trailer)

hinging the gate to swing horizontal and finish up the bike itself

this is how i got the truck

and this is where she is at now
