Dodge BigHorn Posted May 17, 2012 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodge BigHorn Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 Got the interior finished up. Very simple and utility minded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim B Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Nice. I like the green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodge BigHorn Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodge BigHorn Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodge BigHorn Posted May 19, 2012 Author Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodge BigHorn Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share 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.
