Ramcharger trail rig....COMPLETE!!

Thought i'd get on here and post my latest project. havent takin as many progress pics as planned but oh well. Building a Ramcharger trail rig from the gone fishing set.....found it at a swap meet  and grabbed it a couple years ago. I'm a big off-raod fan and have been since i was real young, thought i'd do a little something different this time besides building hopped up cars and lifted 4x4s. Comments and criticism are welcome, let me know what ya'll think of it.

The body...Scratch built winch bumper with D-rings. plan on building something similar for the rear.

Spare tire carrier and the motor...which the box say it's a 383 but i dont know. No different than a 318 or 360 just cubic inches. would make a great powerplant in real life if it was a 383 stroker....havent decided if i want to put an air cleaner on the motor or make a snorkel coming out of the fender or firewall through the interior or run it out along the cab pillar and in the air....any ideas??

Some added pics of the body after completed. over detailed it a little i think, when i was putting a few dents in the fender i got to close to the edge with the lighter and melted it "up" a bit. Crapp! easy fix lol, i decided to make it a rust spot and cut it jagged with my knife and added rust color....which is now covered with too much mud. plan on maybe using real dirt for some added realism of built up  mud on fender edges and on the rock sliders when i get those made.

Some pics of the interior....built a full rollcage and used a decal of a Nascar seatbelt. added a "tack" and used the factory seats. also added a set of 'Off-road fuel tanks" that were in the 72?? Chevy Blazer kit. (Model King) but wanted them to represent over the wheel well tool boxes. added a High Lift jack from the parts box. Any ideas on other doo dads to add in the interior?

Chassis....cut the leaf springs out of the front axle, built custom coil spring set up. Not exactly waht i wanted for "radius arms" or "trailing arms" but it works sway bar is done. Need to make my steering linkage, plan on adding a steering box and steering shaft on the frame. more to coma later.
