No way.... I give up on this hobby... I tried so many times to make one of these... bravo Nat. Let me know if you need anymore reference pics. My Gpas 1:1 prob has a million dents and 2 toned rust spots all over it, but it would be better than old google pics?

I have to say I really didn't think you could make a dodge out of a clod body. But man you really pulled it off nicely. |

One of my favorite 1:1 trucks of all time. I wish I was the type of person that could look at a clod body and say, "Now that would make a nice Power Wagon." This is a really sweet build. I can't wait to see it with paint. |

Looking really good. I know all about working for peanuts. Some people just don't understand how much time goes into one of these.

Took a lil break tonight from Norms Bronco build, The Cab looked a bit odd to me and I couldnt figure out why. I pulled up some Power Wagon pics tonight and finally figured out why. The rear Window has a countour around it and is recessed into the back of the cab. So I addressed this issue and I think that there is officially no stock Clod surface left on the truck. I though I could get away with leaving the back window, however I was wrong. Im much happier with it now! Touched up a few spots with the icing, Found a few more after I was done... Typical... Took care of the PAblo bedside on the right rear. blended in nicely now! Also Carved in the door/fender lines and made a gas cap. Ill clean it up once the plastic cures. |

X10, I got to say that your work on this Nat is just as great as your tube work. Bravo, BRAVO! Its amazing how well you have captured the details from what this truck used to be. Is there anything you cant do?
