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.

This is bad ass already just because it is a DODGE. Looking fwd to seeing the progress.

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.

Axlboy · 12-16-2009, 07:20 PM

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

ScalerLover · 12-16-2009, 07:28 PM

LOL thanks guys.

As for power im not sure yet, maybe a HH 7T Puller ? or 2

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!!

Its a New Bright body, getting harder to find these days, thats why i snagged up 2 complete bodies and 2 cabs lol.

balln · 12-17-2009, 09:06 PM

This thing is going to be badass just like the micro. I found a 1/10 scale hardbody srt 10 in a foreclosure house yesterday its pretty cool looking

ScalerLover · 12-17-2009, 09:16 PM

I have one of those on the way too, i think its closer to 1:12 though.
Got mine for 10 bucks and i also got new mirrors for my 1:6 dodge coming with it lol.

calikingcrawler · 12-23-2009, 09:24 PM

Can't wait to see an ex body of mine in a build thread. Noone ever does a build thread with my old parts.

jeepfreek · 01-02-2010, 07:59 AM

I have the same project going! I'd like to know how your going to make a chassis and I'm going to subscibe to this thread to watch your progress! Keep up the good work!

70duncan · 01-02-2010, 04:38 PM

Wow, a nother Dodge you are building.

I like it. I saw that body the other day, and was trying to figure out if I use it or not. This going to be cool.
