Danny Melton's Da Bomb D-50, Round 2

Well this is the first time in about 7 or 8 years that I have built a model.  But I always liked it when I was younger.  I picked a Dodge Ram 50 because this is minitrucking. And the fact that I had a D-50 when I was 16.
I plan on body droping and c-noching it, Then see what eles I can do with it.

WEEK 1 - Da Bomb D-50

This week I cut a sun roof and built a 4.3 v6 out of an s-10.  I figured out where I want to go with this model.  Here are some pix of my progress.




 

This week I have made a c-noch, I cut the trans cross member out to make room for the new moter. I cut the front cross member out so the moter will set lower. I cut 1/4inch out of the interior a modle body drop.  



 

dude that is sick!! i remember when i was younger, we used to use walk man motors and paperclips and make them hop. i never thought about c notch and body dropping one.  
if you cant spark it... park it!!!

This week I hven made my 4 link, Zed the front hafe of the fram. got my front end under it. Now I am going to smooth everything out and paint it.




 

like those old school rims its looking pretty good so far  

I have got some more to do on my D-50 I made a cowl hood so the motor wouldn't stick out of the hood. I took and cut off rearend and got a set of vett tailights and made a bed floor. Hopefuly the next time you see it the truck will be done.
