dodge ram D-50 street terror

this is my newest, work. i've been workin on it for some time, coming up with ideas and what not. the plan right now is a twin turbo v-10. not sure if its going to fit tho, if it doesn't i will kit bash a dodge stock car for the engine. i have, thus far, grafted in the stock car rear suspension. here are a couple pics of the body to tide you over. i'll get some of the chassis work in a little bit.

Looks good project to me. 2-tone painting this time?

Sounds like a great project.Love the 2 tone paint.

yeah...im big on two tone right now. lol. this one actually started it, this was painted long before the chevelle or either of my mach one's. im about to head off to work. but hopefully tonight i'll be able to see if the v-10 will fit.

hey that matches my bimmer! :)

nice. v10 TT i like the sound of that. if it doesn't fit, make it fit.

it looks like its going to fit. i'll just have to use front mount turbos, like the setup on my 69 mach 1

Cool I had that idea but was not sure how much work it would be to fit a v10 in to it. I was going to use a viper for the suspension.

Good luck with the build

here is a little update..first the pics and then some details.

first off, sorry for the poor quality, i'll try and get some daylight shots tomorrow. the wheels and tires are Stock car tires. who says it has to be street legal :evil grin: this is definately gonna be a street racer's wet dream. lol. i scratchbuilt the rear spring set up and the panhard bar. the rear end has been narrowed. as for the interior, expect it to be basic, a single racing seat, sheetmetal dash, and basic guages, definately gonna follow the kiss principle

well, i got the intercooler and turbo's done, again i apologize for teh picture quality.

the intercooler eliminates all room for the radiator, so it will be mounted in the bed somewhere with some ducting. all that is left, is to detail the wheels, build the fuel cell, and the interior....which will be the most challenging part

Wow awesome work , I can`t wait to see more of it !!!.

well i've been working on this pretty steady and i've made some head way. i've got most of the chassis done. the rear end is done, i made a rear end cooler a plumbed it in. the chassis is set in place, and the radiator is in. i made an optima red top which will set in the bed and get wired in. the interior tub is just about done....its pretty bare, but this is a street race truck, only need the bare necesities there is a fire extinguisher, a seat and the dash, i wish i had picked up some MSD boxes already. i need some hex styrene too, to add some realism to my braided lines, questions and comments please. on to the pics.

thats it. i'll post pics of the interior and hte battery later.

well the little details on this thing just keep piling up. i know have a battery complete with wires, im working on the fuel cell, i just got done plumbing the fuel rails to the FPR. who knows what will be next....

alright...i've got some more photo's. got 437 views and 13 replies....guess this isn't as interesting as i hoped it was gonna be. oh well, enjoy all the little details i've decided to have a go at and tackle.

got the fuel cell in, the rails and the FPR is in, the pump and hte lines. battery is wired,

awsome work man!

Looks great so far , I love all the details! How did you make the tubos ?

Nice work you've done there, the details are really coming out good! :)

the turbo's are kind of hard to explain without step by step pictures, if you guys are interested, i will make a how to. if my pictures will turn out good enough.
rapstagangsta: a lot of the details on this are tests for upcoming projects, i just wish i had the hex tube styrene for the AN fittings. those will be had before i start any of my 05 projects.

I would love a "how to" if it wouldn`t be too much truble :) .

i'll work on the pictures over the next couple days on the two ways i make turbos

looks good from what i can see, awesome detail on the engine
