Drago Posted May 12, 2011 Author Posted May 12, 2011 (edited) Cliffo, "any bro of Cesar's is a bro of mine!" The same for you bro!!! Cesar is skinny and a little effeminate, but I like him anyway.. I´m not prejudiced rsrsrssrs Cesar (aka Boss), loser another kit to you? You got be kidding rsrsrr Man… we need to finish those projects.. don´t we? Well, more photos of the chassis Did the opening in the floor to receive exhaust components and for the suports of the chassi (in red) And the first test fit of the engine and chassi (niiiiiiiiiiiceeeeeeeeeeee geometry hum???)

Larryhagmansliver Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 (edited) I'm really interested in seeing how this turns out. I own a 2007 Dodge Dakota and was looking to do something similar to what you are doing with the lindburg kit and the Magnum front end so that I could have a model that looks like my actual truck. The magnum front clip is very similar to my Dakota.... ...tricky part is going to be figuring out how to eliminate those front fender flares Edited June 8, 2011 by Larryhagmansliver
Guest Sickfish Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 Drago/Boss... Not only are you guys such talented builders, you are also very funny guys! Lol! Cesar... Why is it unfortunate you are bros with Drago? Lol! He's good guy! You maybe should not bet Drago who will finish first... I think he will finish his Dako-num before you finish your Fastback 'Stang Lol! I am very happy to be bros with 2 Brazilian bros now , we are all Mopar bros too! Now please Drago... Beat Bosso Lol! Bosso it's ok to be skinny & handsome... Just have some more cervejas... You will be more "manly" & handsome too! Hahahaha! Great work on chassis Drago, keep it up bro! Cheers Cliffo
BigEd Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 Ditto on the chassis comments. That's some clean work Drago.
Cesar Bossolani Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 Cliffo, unfortunate because his speech too much!! LOL!!! Just kidding!!! He is my bro!!! Just like you!!! Now I'm 50kg... Needs more beers for sure!!! He won't finish this Dako before I finish my Stang. I can bet again with him and I'll win again!!! Like as 2009... he paid me with a '68 Charger on our last bet. LOL!!! Prego!!! Dako's frame looks real bro!! You need to install crank pulley on this Hemi to build your IFS. Don't forget!!! Cheers!!! Cesar
Drago Posted July 10, 2011 Author Posted July 10, 2011 Hi Guys... a little progress here... New rear lights space and new "bed" beeing preparaded...
Drago Posted July 10, 2011 Author Posted July 10, 2011 ... and the new parts for rear suspension In order to start the front suspension, it is needed to know exactly where the engine must be fixed That´s all folks!
pharr7226 Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 Beautiful work Drago. You and Cesar look like your having way too much fun in those pictures. Lets get the bet underway. Cesar, I have faith in you bro. Get on the bench and get to work on the Stang. Of course, I just want to see some progress so I can copy all your ideas.

aksarben Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 Hi Alexandre, this project is really shaping up nice and I love your scratchbuilding efforts on the inner bed, as well as the frame and suspension. Great work. Hey I was interested in asking where you aquired the 392 HEMI engine, looks like it may have been an aftermarket set from seeing it in that bag, but I also see from the shots of your work desk that you have some molds so maybe you cast this engine yourself? Steve

Drago Posted July 17, 2011 Author Posted July 17, 2011 (edited) Hi guys. David, once you creat an account, you can manage in your control panel the forum language. You and all fellas around here are wellcome to join us at Small Dreams.com! Steve you are almost right. The engine is a kind of aftermarket, but so far is just an effort to get start into the market... Bossolani and I are trying to launch some new and good parts... This engine specifically is casted by my friend Bossolani. FRONT SUSPENSION: the parts (thanks Boss for the resin A-arms) A-arms sectioned and drilled Well, this is the result after 3 hours of cutting, filling, sanding, testing, etc etc. Edited July 17, 2011 by Drago
Drago Posted July 19, 2011 Author Posted July 19, 2011 Hi fellas.... I have started to think in the color....... in order to match the sheet decal graphics, I shall use any color with beige, brown or even gold tone. And searching in my stock, I have found these: Still need to decide. Almost all colors could match, but 4 of them are closer (red circle) Well, besides the color, I figured out that the hood edge is not matching with grille shell. So, I put some putty and also have started to make the hood ledge Now, just wait all get dry and start to sanding... This is an effort to bring more realism to the hood: the internal structure... more to come...
Kaleb Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Very nice, I like where this is going. The last pic looks like some of my projects
Drago Posted August 8, 2011 Author Posted August 8, 2011 Quick update.. just to finish hood´s under structure.
Romell R Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 Drago its really good to see good friendships formed and to know that you and Cesar have a lasting bond and model building in common, Model building does that to people. You have excellent scratch building skills and this project is one that I have followed since you posted it. looking forward to your next update. Oh and Cesar is my bro also so consider yourself my bro too. Romell
Green Duster Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 Here's what I did with my Dakota. monogram Cuda front and rear suspensions.
