Project Slam Ram(TRASHED)
Hey this is the new kit i got.. a Revell Ram VTS Pickup, and i plan to slam it, try to find some bigger rubber n wheels, there is alot of cracks in this kit that i found so im going to have to get some putty.
Any suggestions? Now the first thing i wanted to do with this kit in the limited time i had is slam it, that way ill have some motivation to make the rest. So i set up the frame so i can see ride hight and figure out how much it needs to be lowered  Sorry for the blurryness.. so anyways i will have more once i get the rear axle together and slam it Last edited by ChopinPorkChop; 02-12-2003 at 12:36 PM.

wohooo i finaly got off the wheel mounts... and got rear axle on.. the only problem is that there is no way to slam the ass end any more unless i cut out the bed which can be done but i dont want to right now. now all i need to do is make some spacers to slam this thing... i cut my self in total about 7 times, the harshest one was in the chest(holding suspension near me and xacto slipped) but oh well it comes with crafting
Here are pics of them cut

7 times? Did you use a sharp enough blade, and did you use something like a table to hold it down?

lol most of them are just little slices but the one in the chest is still bleeding, it was just hard because it gave you two angles two cut from and they both sucked
Thnx Vric for the support and for the instructions but how did you slam the back end?

ok here is the back's final ride hight.. its as low as it can go with out hackin it up
 So im just going to lower frunt a little more than the back and it should give it a good muscle truck look.. what you think?

Looks good, the stance looks similar to this.
 If you resort to hackin up the back, a c-notch rig is an awesome way to leave a tasteful gap in the bed.

I hope it isn't too late to post this, but in the 2nd picture with the cut out bed, that metal tube rig is a c-notch rig that is welded onto the frame. None of the actual frame sticks out of the bed.
