Ok another note to self.....next time I get a bright idea to build or convert something that wasn't, I will be sure that there is an interior available that DOESN'T have to be scratch built! I Have at least 8 hours roughing in this Ramcharger dash alone.

Thanks guys!
Ramcharger update.....Well.....I am still working on the dash, BUT I did finish the door cards....they're close to the 1:1, a little different but they will do. Added the front and rear licence plates......MOPAR on front! And that must have 440+6 engine call out decal on the fender.

The work on the door cards and dash is outstanding. This is really turning out to be a awesome build. Great work as always.

Finally done with the dash for the Ramcharger. Started to fit the panels and floor after installing the dash. Need to finish the wiring for the dash lights and gauges then move on to seats. Added the ‪#‎Exclusive_Rc‬ Monster Tach/shift light combo, GPS, rear view mirror and triple gauge set tonight as well. And cut down the side glass which I couldn't believe was arounf 3/16" thick!

Well the Ramcharger has seats. Yes I cheated on the fronts, they are Wraith units, just changed up the color, but the rear is all styrene. Added upholstery to the rear section. Still need to add quite a few bits here and there, seat belts, wiring etc. and fasten the body. Also found a key for the ignition! Also realized that this body weighs a ton!

Your details are lookin' wicked, joe! Those Corbeau seats fit in really nice, I may have to get some for the F-100. Your color-scheme looks super too!
Definitely another Work of Art !!

That interior is amazing looking. What did you use for the carpet? I have to agree with Dr. Frankenstyle that your details are wicked.

joe122, your work is amazing. I wish we had more (any?) pre '94 Dodge body options. I had an '89 Ramcharger, no 440, just a 318 TBI. However I had a 440 in a '70 Charger RT. How durable is custom body like this?

The body as it comes from RC4WD is very durable. I'm a little more protective of it now since I've made these mods though. It will get outside for some off-roading, just no rollovers!

Loooooooooooooooking good Joe, that interior detail is fantastic. You know, Joe you could send that rig out here to Oregon, all our rocks are coated in foam, so no scrapes, scratches or broken parts!!!!! I could PM you my address!
We are planning on making a cross country trip this fall that will take us through Michigan, I could drop it off and have a cup of coffee.
Ernie,

Ernie,
Thanks Ernie! Foam mountains and soft rocks! Sounds like heaven - especially for a guy like me who swears the next build will be for crawling with no concerns for rock rash! Except they always seem to go off the rails and enter the extreme detail realm. Let me know when your Michigan adventure come to fruition, that would be cool to meet up Ernie.

Scott
