Nice conversion work!!

Those looks look awesome! I would like to see some closer shots myself.

I like what you have there! It looks great!!

I’ve been thinking. A craftsman is able to capture all of the comments precise mechanics; measurements, angles, etc. of the original. An artist is able to capture the genuine look of the original. It looks to me like you have mastered both. Excellent work Charles!!

Thanks!

Welcome aboard!

Thanks! The hood didn’t fit good from the beginning. I think something must of happened in casting. After some work I had it fitting pretty good, but it seems to have shrank with paint. Oh well! The color is good ol alpine green engine enamel. 😀 I have plenty and it was pretty close to the original turf green. The engine is the 361 from the Lindberg kit as is the chassis.

I had planned to weather it, but other than a little trash, the paint turned out really slick, maybe too slick though. Definitely not new, possibly restored, but still undecided. I have a little progress. The engine is about ready too.

This is my new project. A 68 Dodge D800 dump. The Lindberg kit will donate many parts including the chassis, engine and transmission.
