hotrod59f100 Posted April 3, 2014 Author Posted April 3, 2014 Thanks doobie I have some after market tanks I got them in the striper to paint it . I got the front grill cut out and added screen behind it.
jrherald420 Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Glad to see i wasnt the only one who put the rear frame crossmember in the wrong spot too!! lol Got to love the "in depth" directions. I found a huge problem with my frame today.
hotrod59f100 Posted April 3, 2014 Author Posted April 3, 2014 Did I lol oops . yeah I got ones off someone on here an still can't figure it out lol.
72 Charger Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Shane your grills look good and you got a great shine on those rears
Chariots of Fire Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 One of the biggest issues with this kit is getting the mounting points for the cab right. And unless the frame is straight it only compounds the problem. Try straightening the frame pieces before assembly by running them under hot water and applying a bit of pressure. The weight of the cab once it's built just isn't enough to overcome the warping.
hotrod59f100 Posted April 3, 2014 Author Posted April 3, 2014 I think once I get it were I want it I'm just gonna glue the cab down . iytthe way it will be displayed it won't need to have the cab tilted
jrherald420 Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 How does the engine mount? Im not seeing any mounting points anywhere.
hotrod59f100 Posted April 3, 2014 Author Posted April 3, 2014 Idk I just glued mine on the crossmembers
jrherald420 Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 Yeah that looks like what is supposed to be done.......if your cross members line up right......if you dont mind i will post a picture of my chassis so you can see my problem.
hotrod59f100 Posted April 8, 2014 Author Posted April 8, 2014 The reason I have stalled on this is Im missing the doors
goodwin3224 Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 I used to have a set but I'm not sure where they are
hotrod59f100 Posted April 8, 2014 Author Posted April 8, 2014 I had them but moved so now I have no idea what happened to them
