1965 Dodge A100 Pickup Overhaulin' Style

Thanks guys!

On a whim the other day, I decided to paint the A100 just to see what the Mica Red would look like over the reddish brown primer. Have a look...

I like the dark red color and it should really shine when I polish the paint.

More to come...

I enjoy and appreciate the detailed blow by blow.  Are you using the Bondo glazing putty?  Looks like it, but I would figure it's too soft.

Yes, I am using Bondo Glazing & Spot Putty.  I have used it for years and it hardens quite nicely and sands smooth.

I am forging ahead with the A100 and I got a lot done on it today between running to the kitchen periodically to check on the turkey in the oven. I detailed painted the rotors and installed them onto the wheels.

The engine and suspension has been installed.

And, the chassis and floor pan are up on four wheels!

More to come...

A major step forward today as the body and chassis are finally joined together after installing the windows and the instrument panel.


I'm not sure what kit these exhaust pipes came from, but I drilled out the ends, painted the tips gloss black, and sprayed Alclad II Chrome paint on them.

More to come...

I have finished my Overhaulin' style '65 Dodge A100.

I would like to thank all those who took the time to view and to comment on my WIP!

This looks fantastic. I'm looking for one of these kits, but don't see many if any in the UK! I would drop it on the deck with a Corvair turbo motor in the back!
