1964 Dodge Power Wagon Town Wagon
 

Morning Gentlemen, I know there are a few Dodge boys over. Would any of you be interested to see the rest of this one come together ?

It started out as and idea after I found this one on line last year.

Thats looking Great!! Great job! "thumbsup"

I would like to see it finished, keep us posted.

Nice work looks good. The whole body made of styrene?

did you make that whole body from styrene :shock: ..........bob

....

are you F'en kidding me thats awesome"thumbsup" like always

:shock: Im a ford guy but you cannot not like this! AMAZING

Nicework, the old PWs are a classic blast. "thumbsup"

DAMN NICE WORK "thumbsup", I USED TO HAVE A '60 PANEL , WISH I STILL HAD IT.

Thank you guys, very much. :)

I knew there were a few Dodge boys over here, and maybe a convert or 2, or at least for a little bit. :)

Yes, the body is made completely of styrene sheets, so far I have used about 5 1/2 sheets of 12" X 24" X .60 and 2 sheets of 8" X 24" X .80.

The body itself, without the seats I have and maybe a few other items that I still need to build, bumpers,etc...it weighs in at 3 lbs, I am building this on the scale of a Tamiya Yota body.

This Dodge will be using leafed hi-lift axles, a 3-spd Tamiya Big rig transmission, a GCM T-case, and axial driveshafts, and that one company from California that has rims, tires, and 80 mm shocks. The frame is from Menards.. :)

testing another color
 

Thank you guys, I'm glad you really like it.. Something different is always good.. especially an old Dodge. :)


Some new updates, not much though, mostly testing that new mythical maroon. I have been playing with fire and metal, and made some mirrors for it,,no pics of them, yet..

Is this color more fitting this ole girl ??..its only a light test coat over silver.

Yes...No.. on the color...:)


..

just saw one at the best fest

a military medic

that would be an awesome scale rig

Thats sweet love mopars

That is one very well built Mopar! U got some mad skills there! I'm partial to the purple and white. Another interesting combo would be a bright yellow with purple flames........oh, wait, you said you wanted to tame it down, the maroon and white look great!"thumbsup" Whatever color you paint it, it will be a nasty rig!

Thank You Guys..

Almost forgot about it over here.. I'll let the pics talk. Its been through a few changes.

VERY nice work on the body...it came together really nice!

WOW! once again your styrene work amazes me, this build is going to be just as cool as your other dodge truck that you built a while back. Very cool project!"thumbsup"
