| 1:6 Dodge Build
Well since parts are starting to come in, and more will be on order within the next 2-3 days i figured i would start my build thread. Heres a small teaser. These tires will also be going under the knife. The beads are a little bit worse then i thought they would be so i bought a cheap set of lizards to steal the beads off of.

Lol omg I thought that micro dodge was 1.9 so when you had it in the bed of the big I was like wtf!! then I relized what scales we were dealing with. Should be cool though. |

I think that is one of the most AWESOME things I have ever seen! What are you going to power it with, a washing machine motor? LOL |

I have been looking at that dodge body in the stores for a while now, trying to talk myself into buying it, so I will be watching this build closely. BTW, great job on the micro!! |
