I believe the Ramcharger is ready for daylight. Almost there with the final details.....tried my hand at fab'ing some door handles, so-so, added exhaust, found a solution to the giant gap below the rear floor and the bumper, the K5's bumper had a molded in close out, this morphed edition needed something to fill the void. Got the wiring worked out, now have working turn signals, headlights and tail/brake lights. Made a fan and pulley, still needs an alternator and PS pump.

The new details are SWEET, joe'. Your handles are definitely a lot more Dodge-looking. The dash-lights are over-the-top. Great work !!

Thanks Guys! Not sure what the next one will be, kinda leaning towards another Gasser.

Well, they say an RC build is never done, but I am close. Wanted to add a couple details before heading the the KNK Top Truck Challenge.....no I am NOT entering the Ramcharger! I felt the front of the engine was not complete enough even for just styrene, definitely missing something, so I made an alternator, pulleys and a fan, fan belt as well as some radiator hoses. made the side Ramcharger emblems too, not the best - for now they'll do.

Finally put the Ramcharger to work. Built a trailer so I could create my own MOPAR Train! To bad its raining so please excuse the inside pics! I think the Little Red Wagon is very happy with its tow rig! Just finished the trailer, more on that in the Onroad section.

Looks great. But I think you need some helper springs.

Hey Scott, I did find room for the 57 chevy model. I think I told you, but it is a unbuilt monogram 3 in 1 kit. See you in a few weeks.
