uncle potts Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 hi Randy, more unrealistic work I see, it looks like you are about to wrap up the cab and chassis, I love the fact you put a big block mopar under the hood instead of a more common power plant, it just adds to the over all uniqueness of the build, the quality of craftsmanship is unreal my friend!!, excuse me now while I take my stuff outside and back over it with my car STOP! send it to me. Just kidding....Nice work Randy , like always you continue to amaze.
Guest G Holding Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) Randy- This project continues to get more amazing with each piece. Are you planning on taking it to GSL when it is done? It would certainly be a runaway for best of show. 100% correct Pete....right now, with nothing more needed I couldn't see what could beat this masterpiece Humbling Sir !

mrhernandez Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 All this work just to let the neighborhood kids play with it! JK Quite honestly this is the most amazing scale model I have ever seen built. I can only think of one word to describe this, INSANE.
Randy D Posted March 27, 2013 Author Posted March 27, 2013 Hi Folks, Thank you Alyn, As one who admires your work, that means alot Hi Codie, Thank you for that ! Hey Bill, Anytime you want to send me that low rent piece of metal you call a car...I'll take it Tyrone, That's what I say whenever I look in on your promod builds in the drag section !! Hello Fred, Glad you like it ! Thanks Kane Hi paul, Thank you ! Greg, I'm honored that you think that ! Jason, Thanks and no, the neighbor kids don't play with it, but my grandkids like to roll it around and steer it. They can actually get some fingers inside with the cab on
Austin T Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 What's next, A curved windshield in scale made or real glass? If you could make that I think you would forever be remembered as the man who could build anything in the modeling community.
Randy D Posted March 27, 2013 Author Posted March 27, 2013 Sorry that no pics came thru , seem to be having issues getting a post right tonite ! Hi Austin, Lucky for me this truck has all flat pieces Still playing around with the glass, can get it curve with heat but hard to control. Need to find larger pieces of this thickness to have something to work with. I had sent Bill D. some pics showing the size of the slides to see if would work on his'Cuda... Research continues. Small update, Building up the gas pedal and linkage along with some work a dash...
Pete J. Posted March 27, 2013 Posted March 27, 2013 Randy,I have to say that I wait with baited breath for each update. I really appreciate your craftsmanship. This is probably one of the best builds I have seen. On a par with Gerald Wingrove. Keep it coming!Pete

Randy D Posted April 26, 2013 Author Posted April 26, 2013 Added an aluminum sleeve that slides over the axle that has been tapped for a nut.... You can see that the rims I'm building are still not ready for prime time and am using the plastic ones for now. thanks for looking! Randy
Crazy Ed Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Randy sez "Thanks for Looking" ................. Heck Randy, Thanks for not charging Admission Amazing!
Modelbuilder Mark Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 where are you sourcing the little nuts and bolts from again?
crazyrichard Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 ooooooooooooo0000000 thats just to much cant waigt to see some self made rims ....
vintagedragfan Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 oh yeah Randy, that is nice, that outta hold em! soooo, you making some new wheels? is that what I got out of the last post?? awesome my friend
Alyn Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 Randy, your model building skills are unquestionable, but what sets you apart is your style.
Randy D Posted April 28, 2013 Author Posted April 28, 2013 Thanks Ed Hi Mark, "Scale Hardware" I think these were the 1.0 size. Works for the large size rims and tires on this one. I used the .7 or .8 ones for my door car dragster project. Hi Richard, Glad you like it so far!! Hey Bill, They will the same style as the plastic ones, just out of metal. Just don't hold your breath waiting to see a pic Hi Alyn, Thank you for that !! Randy
