Dodge BigHorn Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 I've had this one up on the shelf for awhile. The Bighorn and I were not seeing eye to eye so, it got put in project purgatory for a bit. It's nothing fancy but I'm liking the way it builds up.
Dodge BigHorn Posted May 18, 2012 Author Posted May 18, 2012 Got the interior finished up. Very simple and utility minded.
Dodge BigHorn Posted May 18, 2012 Author Posted May 18, 2012 I like the green also. What I don't like is the hood doesn't fit for ######. It's all monkeyed up around the cowl and doesn't close completely. I'm mad enough at it to pitch the hood and and cab and use the frame for my Reo Raider. I'll mess with it a bit later and hopefully it's something simple and will fit correctly afterwards.
Turbo590 Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 Rob, Your makin some good progress on it....its a AMT kit...patience is required in "small" print Good talking to you as well....keep us posted Kurt
Dodge BigHorn Posted May 18, 2012 Author Posted May 18, 2012 I think if i change the air cleaner and shave the hinges a little bit, the hood will fit correctly. I've got some spare air cleaners in my goodies.
camaro68 Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 I think the hood not supposed to close flush saw some pics of real ones their not even

Dodge BigHorn Posted May 19, 2012 Author Posted May 19, 2012 It was sitting cocked up back at the cowl. Wasn't closing completely. I think i got it adjusted to where it fits decently close.
pete3522 Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 (edited) nice start gotta love those old tractors Edited May 19, 2012 by pete3522
Dodge BigHorn Posted May 21, 2012 Author Posted May 21, 2012 (edited) Finally got the hood to fit correctly or as close to correct as it's going to be. I changed the exhaust, the kit pieces looked cheesy. Broke a mirror bracket trying to get it to line up. Get the mirrors on and add lights and I'm calling this done.
