Default 93 Dodge Crew Cab (updated pics)

I decided to start a little more involved build. I'm starting with the body and i'll go from there. It will be a loose representation of my real "93" CrewCab 4x. Actually more like what i'd like my real truck to be when I get done with it. A Brass chassis is in order I do believe with some leafs and really long drive shaft(s) as the wheel base is right around 6 inches. I've got a fleetside bed coming for the build and so far the tally is at 3 little red models. I might try and do the 93 grill like the real deal. So far the cab is going good. Started the frame but haven't got much done on that so far. This may take a little while to finish this one. Well on with the progress so far. First few pics are obviously my insperation. Thanks for looking

Well i've been working on some gearing changes to slow everything down a bit. I decided that some changes to the transmission gearing was in order. I modified the spur gear to fit onto the output shaft for the dirveshafts. I just xacto'd the hole in the middle to a square that fit tight over the shaft. Since that threw off the factory trans alignment I milled a new case to house the the modified system. The tall side will be mostly removed as just enough for a motor mount will be left. I've still got quite a bit of milling to go before I call it done but I thought i'd throw up some progress pics so here ya go!
