DrKerry Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 (edited) 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!!!!! Edited September 10, 2017 by DrKerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrKerry Posted July 3, 2017 Author Share Posted July 3, 2017 I'm liking the way this is coming together!!!! I'm liking the slotted wheels on it so far too!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chariots of Fire Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Just my 2 cents but I think the tires are too big for that era. Even if updated a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGTRUCK Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 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..

Chariots of Fire Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 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!
