Decided to tackle something different... Bucky sent me this wedge years ago and I have decided to add it to this 78' Dodge D100 pickup... here's hoping it works, ha, ha!!! The back duelies could be problematic... time will tell.   |

man you work fast!! looks good so far. Not always, ha, ha!!! Glad you like it so far. Just a matter of cutting off the back edges of the frame on either side that were behind the original single wheels so the second set would fit and scratch building a second axle, shocks and springs... my military modeling, extra parts I've saved over the years and clay came in handy there... Only other thing I needed was on the actual wedge. I added three cross supports across the bottom made of balsa wood to get it to sit flat at the right height... I painted them black... I glued them right to the bottom of the box. The rest should be just building the model oob and attaching the wedge... then lights and license plates.. |

looking good. i like the added touches. the opening doors are very cool!! one thing if i may, with those railings, once you get the car up there, you may not be able to get the door open, so i would scratch up a winch to pull the car up.
