If I hadn't mentioned it before, the flex fan and distributor are both from Protech and are some of the best pieces that I have ever used.

Well, I set this one aside to get some othjer projects knocked out and I am now back to work on it. It is almost complete.
I added hood hinges so the hood will stay propped open, the engine has been installed and other pieces added like heater hoses and radiator hose. The driveshafts have all been added although I still have some slight weathering to do underneath to make everything stand out better.

I also decided to add a brush guard up front. It came from the parts box and is currently in the process of being painted. The little nub on the roof is the pin for the antenna base to be installed to.

The only major work left is to add the master cylinder under the hood and create an exhaust, and some detail painting and then this one is done.

I built it a couple of times as a kid. I'd like to do it again one of these days.

mikemodeler: Yeah, they could clean up with that kit! They would do it right and probably have several versions, including a Suburban! Mar 9, 2015 21:02:10 GMT -5

casey: I'm sure they have enough future ideas to choose from already, though. THey have, what, five kits coming out this year? Mar 9, 2015 21:04:26 GMT -5

grumpy: surprised round 2 doesn't reissue the dodge adventurer warlock or fire fighter dodge stepside the would for sure clean up with those May 17, 2016 16:04:11 GMT -5
