I think I may park it beside my Dodge A100 ambulance, even if they are a few years apart and not from the same district, but still the same era. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengalensis Posted March 27, 2022 Author Share Posted March 27, 2022 The big mate is done permanently with glue, wing mirrors added and the rear wheels are glued, aligned and drying. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengalensis Posted March 28, 2022 Author Share Posted March 28, 2022 After a good night drying the thing could be turned around and the front wheels glued and aligned. I'll let this sit over day to dry out completely before continuing to put some weight into the tyres. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keefr22 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 That looks really superb Jörgen, the sit looks just about spot on already. Really nice build! Keith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengalensis Posted March 28, 2022 Author Share Posted March 28, 2022 Thanks a lot guys, glad you like the work! With the front wheels dried and then posed as I decided for in the end (hence waiting with the gluing of the steering wheel - I did actually remember) I put some weight (sanding flats) into the tyres. Rear mud flaps added. I think the stance looks ok and it sits squarely and nice on a flat and level surface, quite happy with that. With the antenna and blue flashlight added we should be ready to patrol the motorways in style and with respect! All it needs now is a general check over for minor touch ups needed and some cleaning and some better photos for RFI. Thanks a lot for all kind praise and support during the work! 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadbadge Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 This is looking wonderful, I am glad you didn't cover all the details and hard work in the rear. The interior and body is looking fantastic too and glad you remembered the steering wheel to be glued too. Great work Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
