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.
