Default 1965 Dodge A100 Pickup, named "Flatnose"

I present you the dodge A100 pickup on steroids!

stretched the body 16mm and made proper offroad fender opening front and rear.

I wanted outboard shocks in the rear so I drilled a new side holes in the axles mounts and flipped the shocks for proper top bottom offset. I cut 1.5 loop of spring also front and rear and removed bump stops.

I removed the foams in the wheels and rolled bunch of soldering wired in the rims to weight them up.

I will have an interior and want to make a downward roll cage for the rear, maybe 2/3rd back in the tonneau cover.
