Well, this has been a continued build, but i am thinking of scrapping the initial plan. When i first got it, and started building it, the plan was to make it an Ohio State Buckeye truck. I am thinking of scrapping that plan, and making a simple beater Dodge Ram or some guy's 1 owner truck since new. Game Plan -Repaint seat. -Take a gander at interior, repaint what is necessary. -Strip body of hand painted silver paint (didn't have spray paint to use, and I was impatient) and repaint a stock looking color. -get rid of the manual transmission, make it look like an auto at least. -Repaint any exterior parts where necessary -Other ideas -Lift it, make it a capable 2wd, make a homemade lift? -Make a trailer out of the chassis for my Pathfinder, use cab later -Slam it, make it a low rider -Make it a beater truck The truck is a Revell Kit. truck model year is an approximation. i don't have the box near. it is around somewhere. This build is a back burner build. Any import SUV's or trucks get first dibs, they are my first love. Hehe This kit was bought a long time ago. So, i figured i could at least finish it. it deserves it. pictures to come as soon as i can find the kit. i know where it is, just getting it is an issue. ;D

So, i have thought some more. Plan as of now: -2WD One owner truck. -Repaint entire interior to resemble leather. -Truck color: unknown. thinking black -Keeping it a 5 speed. Auto is not true to the truck. -Stock Ride height. -For sale signage -Perhaps some driving/off road lights if i have the supplies. -Motor is assembled but assembled poorly. deciding on fixing it or making it a curbside kit and sealing the hood closed. -I can't remember if it has a bed cover, if not i am making one, probably out of fabric like the real deal. Its the base model Ram. V6, 5speed, 2wd. Any suggestions, ideas, comments are welcome. This plan is subject to change

Sounds cool to me, lets see some pics of your build as soon as i found the rest of the kit i will. You see, i took inventory on my models before selling some of my non favorites and it is still on the list. I remember seeing it in my attic, but that was Christmas time, I assume it is still there. I need to acquire the model equipment from the person who got me into modeling (grandpa of course!) and then i can strip the paint and get to work on this Stock Ram truck.
