Bagged&Dropped Dodge Ram 50-D

[thadude]

Hello all,
My next project will be this dodge pickup truck.
Planning cleaning it , give it some bodymods and tuck in a big V8 engine to replace the poor little i4 engine it has from stock

I will start with the bodywork 2morrow and I will post photos of the progress

Heres a picture of the box;


And a picture of the rims I will use, these a quite usefull for a minitruck like this since they are only somewhere around 14 or 15 inch in the 1:24 scale that is


So see you guys 2morrow!

Okay whell here we go then,
Today I did the fab work that needed to be done on it.
Im planning to put in a big V8 so it will bee the cooling

First u made a small template for the sidepieces of the scoop out of some scrap paper.
Then i made the sides;



After that i covered it with 2 layers of a thinner styreen plate since its more bendy;


So after the glue whas all set it looked like this.


Now it looks a bit boring IMO so I added the line the original hood had in the middle running all over the hood.
Here's how it looks ;


All i got left to do now is to make it all smooth with the help of mr.sanding paper and mr.putty

Maybe some more later 2nite
