    This cracks me up. I literally built this kit like a couple days before the first video posted of this build. I thought I did a decent job....splurged on some filler compound to fill in some gaps, right? I was quickly reduced to loser-goo! Maybe if I had a 3-d printer and a plastic smelter or whatever the hell it is. Thanks Mr. Model God.

    I like what you've done with it, especially the duelly. I'm still kicking myself for not trying it. I boxed in the cargo doors like you for the same reason. Added a wench near the front in case the drag motor died. Tires on each side of the wench. I built a rack under each side to hold the ramps instead of the center, so they would be easier to position. After watching you put the Ford and Dodge cabs on it, i want to build 2-3 more lol

  • @alanstaub6964
    @alanstaub6964 Před 2 lety +1

    Nice build! This is how the kit should have been produced. I will never understand why it was made as a tandem axle. I've been around racing all my life and I've never seen a dual axle ramp truck built from a pick-up chassis.

    Nice mods and tips on building this kit, I always thought it would look better with the single axle.
    I haven't had the chance to get the new issue but I do have the Model king issue that came with the open road camper.
    I also have an older issue Chevy truck that I built years ago and it is ready for a rebuild, now I have some ideas on the direction I want to take with it.
    Looking forward to seeing more of this build.

    I like this kit, but it took three kits (purchased/exchanged) to find one that didn't have too much twist.
    Now that I have a decent example of the ramp/wedge I am going to make my own from here on.
    Cool mods and ideas regarding both the ramp and chassis.
