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]

Man, that's pretty slick. Don't know how you guys do it, after all these years this game's been around, still see the coolest stuff comin out.

I wish I had even the slightest creative gene that you tr?ck makers do, lol. Very cool Rep Fan!

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.

Little experiment I tried on the chrome parts for my latest, I think it turned out ok.
