1320wayne Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 (edited) Well, this is finished, for the most part. I'm sure that I will still find some small details that need to be done but otherwise here it is. The basic kit is the MPC Thunder Struck kit based on a 78 Dodge puller truck. The kit suspension has been lifted to make room for the Satco Swamper tires. The front bumper is scratchbuilt from styrene. The exhaust is scratchbuilt from aluminum tubing and parts box mufflers. The engine is a Ross Gibson 440 Magnum with added detailing. The graphics are all handmade using imagery found on the internet and transferred to decal film. The tool box in the bed is a resin piece.

Jantrix Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Looks great Wayne. I can't wait to see this at Jaxcon. Can we get a shot of the image on the hood?

John Teresi Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Wayne......turned out AWESOME man........you have alot of skills......Great scratch work too!
1320wayne Posted January 23, 2011 Author Posted January 23, 2011 very cool Wayne just needs some weathering on the chassis and it will be perfect Yeah Dave, I'm still looking at adding some weathering.
Railfreak78 Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 I was wondering where this one was. That looks awesome! Burly looking Power Wagon style Ram. Love the homemade stuff including the truck box. I made my first one this year and yours is so much better. Great build!
Harry P. Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Ok... "Stupid Question Alert"... but why are the mufflers offset?
bigdodge88 Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Very nice job! I have been looking for a '70's Dodge kit for forever. @Harry: I'm assuming because the transcase was in the way?
Chuck Most Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Meanest-lookin' Dodge truck model I've seen in a long time.
MRCIVICWITHSTYLE Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 WOW i like this truck and im not a Dodge fan looks great love the work
93Z34 Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 Wayne, I'm just curious..is there ANY model you touch that doesn't turn into a masterpiece? That old Dodge is one sick looking truck! Great job Buddy!!!!
