41 Dodge COE - Done and in the finished section

[DrKerry]

At least I think it's a 41, not sure. One of Jimmy Flintstone resin bodies.. Dodge L700 chassis with the front axle moved forward. Added a half inch to the front of the frame...

trying to decide on wheel choice right now... leaning more towards the resin ones as I want this to be dated to a later vintage.. 

not sure if it's looking the part of what I'm after but this is it so far..... what do ya think???? Be honest!!!!!

I'm liking the way this is coming together!!!! I'm liking the slotted wheels on it so far too!!!!

[Chariots of Fire]

Just my 2 cents but I think the tires are too big for that era.  Even if updated a bit.

[jacobus]

Kerry I like the slotted wheels. I went more custom with mine. 

[DrKerry]

Thanks for the ideas guys, I know the slotted resin ones are smaller diameter than the L700 wheels.....

 

[DRIPTROIT 71]

Me too

Slotted! Most definitely!

[DrKerry]

Slotted! Most definitely!

Thanks Brian!!!!!

[gotnitro?]

Ok looks like I'm too late to vote I'm on the bandwagon with the slots too lol

[bobthehobbyguy]

Nice start.

[DrKerry]

Thanks guys, working on the wheels right now so I can get them mounted and figure out where the cab needs to set!!! Pics soon I hope!!!

[BIGTRUCK]

All these look great, and Kerry the Dodge cabover makes a great donor, I went with the J/F resin White 3000 cabover and tire wheel combo, the chassis from the Dodge L600 is the right size for S/A tractor..

Let me know what ya think!!!

Check the curvature of the front fender openings.  They look like they could be smoothed up a bit.  Can I suggest making a template of an opening using a compass on a piece of paper.  Cut out the template and place it against the opening to see if it is round.  Tires and wheels look pretty nice!

[DrKerry]

Hey Charles, yup since I took those pics the other day the wheel wells were sanded and are curved better than in the pics..... they look better now, forgot these pics were taken prior to that!!!! Lol

[Dodge Driver]

I like the look of your project. So much so that I was cruising ebay looking for something similar. (like I need another project)
