Re: dodge L 1000

Wow, you have came a long way on this little dodge.:eek::D:);):cool: I love all of the detail as far as the scratch built parts, and the weathering detail is supurb...Look's like she's been used and abused.:eek::eek::eek: Excellent job fellow mini trucker. Can't wait to see the trailer with the "used" look.;)

Re: dodge L 1000

definetely looks good in the weathered state...looks like an old yard mule you would see sitting in the corner of a truck yard somewhere or sitting on someones property while the owner decides whether to restore or sell it .that looks so freakin cool my friend keep up the pics:p:D:D:D:D

Re: dodge L 1000

Mudflaps are looking good! The truck is coming along very nice! Love the way its turning out!

Re: dodge L 1000

This is looking very similar to the lnt1000 I bought back in 97 thought I would restore it but never got around to it and just sold it last year, but this is about the shape it was in looks great.

Re: dodge L 1000

nice work. was thinking about the uncoupling servo, could cover it with a tool box and or a chain box, it could be low enough to clear the swing of a trailer.
skip.
im back i hope!

im back i hope!

thanks for the suggestion, i have been thinking the same thing. I think im going to make a wooden box and load it with rusted chains and home made binders.. thats if I can get it to sit low enough in the chassis and still clear the driveshaft...

Re: dodge L 1000

like that dashboard, nice modeling!
Dan

Re: dodge L 1000

That dash looks killer!!! Awesome work on it!

Re: dodge L 1000

That interior is crazy. Luv that guy shifting. And that dash WOW!! That 8track tape player nice touch. Great job on the build.

Re: dodge L 1000

thanks guys for all the support..

Re: dodge L 1000

The dash is one of the best...it's definitely in the top three.:D;):):cool: And the eight track player took me back to the 70's...ahhh the good ol' days. Great job, and keep it up.

Big John

Re: dodge L 1000

thanks Big John, did you all notice the shifter is a skull lol..

Re: dodge L 1000

That dash is crazy! Nice work..

Re: dodge L 1000

Keep it up! Nice work!

Re: dodge L 1000

http://i180.photobucket.com/albums/x...rigs/008-5.jpg

it would be fun to drive it around like this!!

Re: dodge L 1000

The painting and details on that interior are absolutely amazing they look so realistic with the little dash details including the tape hanging out. Can't wait to see Steve all finished up and the cab set back on. It could almost be fooled as a real truck and driver from a distance with the right shot.

Re: dodge L 1000

You done a great job on this build,great details.Makes me want to build one.

Re: dodge L 1000

Wow! I really like this build. Looks like some of the units running around local freight yards - excellent detail.
