Petetrucker07 Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Moving forward, nice progress. Love the stacks, that's gonna give it attitude.
Mopar - D Posted March 15, 2015 Author Posted March 15, 2015 Clayton I think I have a paint job that will also add to the attitude too. I'm going to leave that as a surprise.
Ace-Garageguy Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Man, if I lived in Arizona, and if I could find a cool old not-too-rusty cab out there, and if I had the bucks, I'd love to build something like this in full scale. Very interesting. Your engine detailing and finish look very realistic, too.
slusher Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Engine is looking great, i like the stacks also. Real nice progress Dan...
Tesla Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Excellent detailing on the engine and the stacks look super!
Mopar - D Posted March 16, 2015 Author Posted March 16, 2015 Thanks Carl, Dennis and Bill, The next work is going to be cutting the dog house out to fit the engine it's going to be a tight interior I think
hooknladderno1 Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Dan, Fantastic project! Coming along great! Look forward to seeing the paint scheme! David
Mopar - D Posted March 16, 2015 Author Posted March 16, 2015 Thanks Dave The paint scheme will be plum crazy purple, yellow and some red.
Mopar - D Posted March 17, 2015 Author Posted March 17, 2015 Pat there's a guy on eBay that sells them in a couple different styles and they come nice and shiny.
tbill Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 you are on a roll, this is gonna look soo cool. engine looks dynamite!
Mopar - D Posted March 18, 2015 Author Posted March 18, 2015 Thanks Tom and Stephen. Once I get the dog house cut out and rebuilt it will move along. I've got a show coming up the end of April that I maybe able to have this one ready for.
Ken Gilkeson Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 daring to be different. superb job so far. ;-))
Mopar - D Posted March 19, 2015 Author Posted March 19, 2015 Thanks Ken I like doing different builds.
gatorincebu Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Very interesting projectand good progress on it! Be Well Gator
bpletcher55 Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 DAN, Thank you for inspierring me to open the hood on my Dodge , looks good ! your truck .
Mopar - D Posted March 20, 2015 Author Posted March 20, 2015 Thanks Marc and Blair I'm planning on getting some more progress done over the weekend.
Mopar - D Posted March 20, 2015 Author Posted March 20, 2015 I worked on the air cleaner I modified the ford one to face the front grill and added some PE and painted Model Master aluminum plate and a little buffing. I also reworked the fire wall to clear the engine it's was not to much to trim to get the clearance. I was able to rework the radiator so the it fits. All I can say is I would not like to be the one that would have to go in and work on the engine as every thing is tight. Here's my update pictures. Thanks for all the comments so far on this build I really appreachate them.
Petetrucker07 Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Looks good man. Makin some nice progress on this.
Mopar - D Posted March 20, 2015 Author Posted March 20, 2015 Thanks Clayton my next challenge is the front bumper. The ford bumper is to long and skinny. I'm thinking some thing along the line of a Texas bumper. Im open for ideas.
Mopar - D Posted March 21, 2015 Author Posted March 21, 2015 Thanks Tom, Andy and Alain This is another challenging build for me but I'm getting close to getting ready to start priming.
