Mopar - D Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted March 15, 2015 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopar - D Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 Thanks Marc and Blair I'm planning on getting some more progress done over the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopar - D Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopar - D Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
