I got an email from a guy that owned a real Power Wagon, and he sent me pics, and asked if I could make it.

Heck yes I could. He saw my Beast 4X4 rep, and loved it, so he asked me if I could make his real truck. Fully restored, 1953 Dodge Power Wagon. Too easy, so heck yes I will. Best part about the whole thing is that the owner lives in the same state I do, Nebraska! too cool

I just wanted to brag...

And brag you should! Sorry for not getting back to ya last night, RF. Since you started a thread here I'll give ya my thoughts/impressions now.

The detail work is most impressive, man - I love how this thing looks! I did drive it at night, too - loved the lights lol. As a race truck my guess is the size of the wheels heavily influence its performance. It doesn't respond accurately when cornering - particularly sharp turns such as hairpins. Also the suspension is a bit cushy (kinda like riding on marshmellows lol) for my taste, but that's just me. Still, a person could adapt to the handling characteristics and fair pretty well with it. Overall however, I'd say it's best suited for high-speed tracks such as Jumping Screwballs, OLD_Siberia and the like. Be a good freestyle truck as well.

But this isn't the kind of truck you want to scratch or dent up; this is more of a I'm goin to take a quick trip to local convenience store, then return home and park this baby in the garage truck lol. Exceptional work, RF - very nicely done, bud!!

Thanks guys, I think it turned out pretty good.

I just released it, it's at my place.

Cope, you'll want to go re-download it, I made some changes. If you decide to keep it that is.

Mal, go get it dirty [:P]

Finally! If anyone knows MT racing, they know this truck. The owner is Dave Wieczorek from Grand Island, NE. This is my all time favorite truck. USA-1 is usually my fave, but it doesn't race anymore either.

I've seen Dave whoop up on Bigfoot many times with this truck, and I loved every second of it. Took me forever to make the bed, and rear fenders, but I finally did it. 1369 Verts too!

In the photo the rear axle is backwards, sometimes I notice the wierdest stuff.

Good job, looks exactly like the real ones I have seen.
