Dodge Warlock Hauler

[Oldtimer]

Got all the pieces.



Looks promising.



Will probably make a trailer out of the pickup bed.

Using the same technique I used on the prior custom ramper, taking advantage of the diecast ladder frame of the donor ACME ramper.

Ground away all the conflicting plastic on the Warlock chassis, trimmed the ACME ladder frame to the proper length, taped the two components together, applied JB Weld, and prayed.





Removed the bandages this morning, and it looks like the surgery was a success.  If I can get enough JB Weld to wind its way around and through the two components, I get a good connection.





And a sneak preview.



Some assembly still required.

Buttoned it all back up yesterday, and found something to pose it with.  Seemed appropriate that a Hemi Under Glass Barracuda might fit.







Still have a little bit of detailing to do, but this one, for all intents and purposes, is done.

Very Nice!

So, what do you do with the bed of a pickup that you just scavenged the chassis and cab from?



Well, if you are lucky (and no, I didn't buy a lottery ticket on the same day), you find a replacement chassis on eBay, and get to work.



I had cut the front hitch off one of the 1/18 scale GMP trailers, which I used for another project, and with some styrene sheet and angle, produced a new trailer tongue.

Then bolted it all back together.





Looks pretty cool behind the ramp back hauler.

Wrapping this one up with a little bit of bling for the custom trailer.

Added a toolbox (appropriately repainted gold), a couple of jerry cans, and a spare set of wheels and tires.

Now that's pretty cool!!! That TOOL BOX best be an ICEBOX in disguise with a whole lot of "BREWSKIS" in it!!!
