| Project Dodge Power Ram
Here is my new project, This is for a customer that emailed me about building him his Dodge Scaler. This is a 1986 Dodge Power Ram, so my suggestion was use a Clod cause it retains about the same body lines as the Dodge. The grill and tailgate will have to be fabricated cause I do not know of a Dodge grill on the market. So, sit back and watch this project go from Chevy to Dodge.

You might consider, once you have made your master of the grill you could simply make a silicone mold of the dodge grill for future requests. Since it would be Low Volume part a silicome mold would work well for the few you would sell. |

Well, here is a somewhat update on the Clod to Dodge. Got the hood roughed in and 1 side pretty much done. Does it look like a Dodge????? Todd Last edited by mud-sweat-gears; 08-22-2011 at 06:49 AM. |

The bulge on the hood is too prominent. Here are some good pics http://http://www.google.com/imgres?...%3Disch&itbs=1 The red seems to really show the contrast. |

Started on the Tailgate $%^&*(*&^%$%^&*(*() and the rear back window. A dodge has a sinked in back window unlike a chevy, more to come soon. |
